In all reality, Mojang is only going to crack down on servers like FadeCloud, and others similar to it, that are in violation. Mojang is probably well educated enough to know that little ol' Jonny here isn't going to have more than 2 players on at the same time, ever.
agreed. Not to mention it really isn't worth it. If they were losing money for every server that's breaking the eula in the least bit, it might just barely be worth it. But they're not. In fact, the whole third party servers is part of the reason there's so many sales now.

If they do go ahead with this, they'll most likely have requirements, for example: must have a 50 player-base.

Mojang is just a bunch of cheap little fuckers who don't like kids making money off their game. It is honestly sad if they take a 15 year old to court for breaking a contract that was void in the first place.

I'm late to this parade but this has ALREADY happened once. The first EULA scare got a lot of people and honestly it was nothing. I don't expect them to start cracking down like greedy capitalists because it will work similar to what happened to the Fine Bros. Piss of the community and they will bite back. It's not profitable for Mojang to fuck with servers.

Why does everyone expect them to take you to court? I'm sure they can make a system to block your IP or domain. Sure, you can make another but youd have to notify your whole playerbase etc.
They may even contact your host, and I dont think they want any problems with Mojang or Microsoft so they'll probably comply. For bigger servers making much more revenue they may take the time to take further actions.

The Mojang EULA about not being able to do this is such a joke. Like why is Mojang really controlling P2W servers? Like are they really that control hungry that they are forcing how they think servers NOT ran by them should be used? If players want to pay to win, let them. There are plenty of servers that don't do this, and there are plenty of servers that do. Let the players pick, don't bully them into all being the same. That ruins the uniqueness of the experience.

This wouldn't work because you could simply move it all, forwarding and such is so easy and worth it if you have a large playerbase.

Which they won't. They're not stupid. The people spreading rumors that they will are.

i dont see why everyone is complaining. Mojang warned they would crack down 2 years ago in 1.7 when i shut my network down. We have had 2 years notice, it should of been expected that a powerhouse like M$ would be pushing mojang along now that they own it.

I dont like that mojang is doing it im just stating that we had plenty of warning

there's literally thousands of servers that break the eula, they aren't going to sue everybody who is reported.

And lol, I use OVH, I'm not going down anytime soon.

They don't need to sue you, you can't login to a server without going through Mojangs authentication server check first.

Actually if it comes down to it they don't have to go "chasing" your server host to shut it down. They could blacklist servers from using their authentication servers, forcing noncomplying servers to go towards the cracked servers. This would mean they don't have to need a team to deal with server hosting sites, can be done relatively quickly

They can't without legal action. If I'm the CEO of a company, I can't just contact a hosting company and say shut this down. Unless they were threatening legal action against OVH themselves, but that'd give microsoft a horrible name.
Ok, maybe they will not your host, but they can turn off the auth for your server so no one can join.

Lmao, they can't sign in as you and destroy your server, that's a crime. They also Wont waste their time disabling your auth as you could just change the IP lol. They're doing DMCA takedown, which, by the way, is fully supported by all hosts in the European Union, the US and Canada.
