Just spreading awareness about whatever the fuck Mojang thinks they’re doing. Given their enforcement of the EULA, or the lack thereof, this probably isn’t going to have as huge of an impact, but I think it’s still something worth talking about.

Here’s an article on dotesports.com if you don’t want to visit Twitter.

The Minecraft EULA itself as of 2nd August. I’ve got the attention span of a rat on cocaine, so if someone could check if Rock solid’s points are an accurate summary of the EULA, I’d appreciate that.

When the Bedrock version did not exist even kids and people who weren’t technical averse did use their own servers or downloaded and used a range of mods on occasion. With the bedrock version they pay (a lot of) money for these packages and the Realms service.

That’s what Microsoft obviously would like everyone to do. They basically have a competitor that brings in less money in their own product range. But they know there will be outrage and they’ll lose customers when they just kill the Java version of Minecraft. They still try to sway people into using bedrock and I believe changing the Eula can be a step into doing this.
