    Mojang can’t really act on guidelines unless clarified. Players can’t be reported to mojang unless messages are cryptographically signed and there’s an actual report system.

    Even if the rules are not enforced, they’re still there. They’re stupid and should not exist. Minecraft is a game for all ages, and it warns you very clearly when you go into the multiplayer section that content you may find there is not controlled by or affiliated with microsoft and when you join a server you join it at your own risk and if necessary with consent from your parent or guardian.

      I’m not really seeing the problems with these rules. Yes, Minecraft is a game for all ages, and by extension, it’s perfectly reasonable for Mojang to ask that you don’t make money off a server on their game if it has porn and gambling there. A lot of it basically boils down to, “Don’t make your unofficial things look official, and you can’t make money off our family-friendly game via adult content or anything that would hurt Minecraft’s brand.” If you’re making money off a Minecraft server or another Minecraft-related product, that can reflect on the Minecraft brand, so it’s perfectly reasonable that they have restrictions on that.

      What exactly in these guidelines do you have an issue with? I’m not seeing the problem.
