Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers - Lemmy.world

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. [https://dotesports.com/minecraft/news/minecraft-players-are-outraged-after-eula-changes-introduce-massive-restrictions] The Minecraft EULA itself as of 2nd August [https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/usage-guidelines]. 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.

Are we finally going to see the death of 2b2t? Thought it’d be around forever

Afaik they’re operating on an older version of the game and thus aren’t subject to new EULA updates unless they update to a version of the game that comes out afrer this EULA goes into effect

In addition to that, I was told at one point that 2B2T doesn’t update to a more current version because some of the administration mods they rely on are not available for newer versions.

Pretty sure it’s because of performance issues. 250 or so players loading chunks with a render distance of 10 chunks causes a shit ton of lag, even on their older, more optimized version of 1.12.2. They want to update to 1.19, but performance is the main reason they haven’t updated the game yet.

That makes sense. And the Java editions have never been the most efficient thing in the world to begin with.
