  1. Best part notch is making Minecraft 2, and it’s probably going to succeed since Microsoft doesn’t listen to the community and the proof is that most play don’t play the base game unless it’s modded. There’s also a long list of other reasons that people clearly dislike

  2. Please make a video about Wolverness' DMCA and Spigot's backstory. I've spent the last 3+ years developing Spigot plugins and have recently quit, but the story still hits close to home

  3. because you just HAVE to pay money to advertise your server, right? you HAVE to make more than 20% profit on it! that TOTALLY justifies charging people with microtransactions and loot crates! oh no, how will we be able to afford paying artists and web developers for our MINECRAFT SERVER? jeez, people treating minecraft servers as a legitimate business instead of just something you do because you like a video game is super lame. i'm not surprised notch was over it. heck, just ask for donations to help cover costs and if your server is something people actually like, they will gladly help support it. like… is there something that i'm not understanding here?

  4. Hot take I guess but imo if you need to employ dogshit pay to win tactics to afford to run your server, your server is also dogshit and you should maybe make some incentive to donate without preying upon children to beg for their parents credit card. Moving over to lootboxes and making them gamble instead is an even worse solution though. Notch was right.

  5. You left out the main reason that was given at the time for the rules and enforcement change: Some servers had very high price perks, with some children taking their parents' credit cards and charging thousands of dollars. Some parents even tried to sue Mojang, not realizing the servers where not run by them.

    At the same time, many non-competitive servers with only reasonably priced donator levels providing only minor quality of life perks were in panic mode.

  6. While most Minecraft servers have died, there are a few that continue to attract millions of people without being pay-to-win, and the majority of these are Bedrock servers. It's actually insane how big some bedrock servers are. Hive Games, the biggest bedrock server, has a total of 103M+ unique players, and their game BedWars, which was launched 10 months ago, already has 14M+ unique players, which is only a few million less than Hypixel's all-time unique player count.
