I really can’t wrap my head around why. Doing this on public servers I think is annoying, but there’s at least some logic to not wanting kids to stumble into mature content. Private servers though? What could possibly be the reasoning?
Comment on Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers

Servers with ANY content not suitable for 10 year olds are now prohibited
This is just ridiculous. What makes them think they get to decide what grown-ass adults do in their own private servers?
They are about a decade too late to child-proof Minecraft. A lot of the children they might even claimed to want to protect are adults by now.

How exactly would Mojang enforce this for private servers?
pavlov@lemmy.world 10 months ago
AFAIK it’s purely based on a player reporting system at the moment. So as long as you completely trust your server mates, you should be fine.

Can’t be fucked to read the EULA, but the added context under the tweet says it’s about pornography/gambling/etc in for profit servers.
… Which is still ridiculous overreach, but not what the original poster said.

The link for these Usage Guidelines is not working for me for some reason, but the linked reddit thread on the article says that all private servers will be treated as if commercial. If that’s correct, it’s pretty concerning.
