These Minecraft Servers Were BANNED by Mojang…

Amongst the ever-growing Sea of Minecraft servers there exist a few which stand out from the others whether that be for their unique game modes aggressive advertising or terrible management there is no doubt a wide range of good bad and very bad Minecraft servers yet very few have managed to get

Banned or blocked by Mojang for being so outrageously pay to win and so incredibly exploitative of their predominantly child player base that it warranted action the strategies these servers use to gain players and extract them of every single dollar they have truly make up the darker sides of

Minecraft and many of these servers are even owned by bigger YouTubers today we will explore some of Minecraft’s block servers so how do we know what Minecraft servers are blocked and why are they blocked well in 2014 Mojang finally began actually enforcing their Euler prior to this Minecraft multiplayer was

The wild west and you could virtually get away with doing anything while the Euler has changed and has been revised many times since 2014 to this day it’s still mostly against pay to win elements of others let’s take a look at what’s relevant if you run a server you can

Sell entitlements that affect gameplay provided that they do not adversely or negatively affect another player’s experience or give a gameplay advantage that means you can sell things as long as they aren’t giving players who buy them and in-game Advantage so Cosmetics like particle effects are perfectly fine furthermore you are allowed to sell

In-game currencies provided they can’t be cashed out or transferred across to other servers now that’s kind of confusing considering we just read how you aren’t allowed to sell in-game advantages so what else would they be using this game currency for well for example you could sell jeffcoins which

Are a premium currency that can only be used to buy Cosmetics on the server and since no advantages are offered through these Jeff coins they are Euler compliant alright so how do we know which Minecraft servers are blocked and how does Mojang’s brand enforcement team go about blocking such servers well

Here’s an oldest bigot thread I found from a server owner in 2016 who received an email from Mojang enforcement when a server is blocked or about to be blocked they are contacted by Mojang’s brand enforcement team responsible for upholding Minecraft copyright in the email the brand enforcement team lets

The server owner know that they’ve had the following issues with their server having ranked perks that affect gameplay having items in the store which affect gameplay and containing in-game currency available for purchase on the last point at the time in-game currency was likely prohibited in the Euler which as I

Mentioned is no longer the same now but it’s also very likely in fact almost a 100 guarantee that this in-game currency This Server sold would be used to buy in-game advantages thus still breaking the Euler the Mojang enforcement team asked a server owner to make sure the

Rank perks and store items are in line with the guidelines as well as asking them to entirely remove the ability to purchase in-game currency they seem to give a rough timeline of a week before they would have taken further action and if they don’t comply they get blocked so

What happens when a Minecraft server doesn’t comply and gets blocked well when you try to connect to a server which has had their IP blocked Minecraft will fake an unknown host era in the newest version of the game so for example this server was recently blocked

By Mojang if I try to join on Modern versions of the game I’ll host error however if I try to join on Minecraft 1.8.9 I won’t get an unknown host error but rather it will say that the server is down for maintenance which is on the

Server’s end and has nothing to do with Mojang so why can I connect in Minecraft 1.8.9 well that’s because in Minecraft 1.9.3 code was added preventing players from joining blocks Minecraft servers so how do we know which servers are blocked without having to join every single one

Of them to test well there’s this handy website called ismyserverblock.com where you can input the IP to a server and it will tell you if it’s being blocked by Mojang or not then there’s also this online list of 2296 Minecraft servers all of which are blocked by Mojang but

They are in a form which obscures their IP currently luckily the Twitter accounts at block servers regularly post updates on when certain servers are blocked and unblocked as well as when certain servers are identified this account is automated in post upwards of 10 times per day so let’s check out some

Of the bigger block servers shall we just like you should check out my non-paid win server ognetwork.net with a proper player driven SMP Bedrock player can join as well oh and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already on February the 13th of this year a

Server known as Viper MC was blocked by Mojang at the time the server was getting over 1 000 daily players with it regularly hitting well over 2 000 just a few months prior Viper MC was primarily a hcf or hardcore faction server which is a server centered around fast-paced

PVP in combat one unique element of Hardcore faction servers which separate them from normal faction servers is the presence of a death band where if you die you get banned for a certain period of time it’s also a servant notorious for being extremely paid to win if we

Take a quick trip to their server store you can see that players are able to buy a variety of ranks some of which cost up to 300 US Dollars these ranks give you a variety of in-game advantages from reduced death bands to the ability to revive other users most notably however

Is the access to a variety of keys keys can be bought directly from the store as well and are used to open crates which of course give you valuable and Powerful items in game crates are pay to win but even worse are the fact that they involve gambling on a server

Predominantly played on by kids gambling in-game currencies which you can’t get with real money is fine and if the crates only had Cosmetics it wouldn’t really be a problem but when you have to spend real money to get the crate Keys which can give you in-game advantages it

Crosses a line there’s a lot more they sell including 20 mystery boxes and of course their in-game currency credits when I joined the server it only had one other player online and the survey is a far cry from what it once was rarely seeing Play accounts above 25. only a

Few days after the blocking of Viper MC another server run by the same management minecadia was blocked minecadia is a large network with their factions and lifestyle survival primarily making up majority of their player base mankadia is a big server regularly seeing 1 000 plus players

Online daily now if you thought Viper MC was bad or just wait until you see minecadia minecadia’s donator ranks work differently than most servers if you donate and get a rank on their faction server you won’t have it on their SMP or other game modes you’ll only have it on

Factions this means that you’ll often see players who have spent hundreds of dollars on multiple ranks across all of their different game modes anyways their top donator rank on factions cost either a 45 monthly subscription or 500 US Dollars that’s right 500 bucks and what do you get for this substantial

Investment well 15 homes 25 private votes double endership storage as well as a bunch of kits and disguises very Pay to Win It doesn’t end there though there’s the monthly crates which are also excessively priced I mean seriously 140 and oh my the loot boxes are 45 as

Well minecadia is a perfect example of everything wrong with paid when Minecraft servers but it’s undeniable they’re making absolute Bank recently on October 25th munchie MC was blocked for those of you unaware munchie MC is actually owned by a YouTuber bad boy Halo the server sees anywhere from

100 to 300 players Daily Now by comparison to Viper MC and minecadia munchie MC looks like a saint their top donator rank while expensive at least hasn’t hit the triple digits they are still pay to win unfortunately giving Place access to a variety of extra kits

In their various game modes but worst of all on their survival server if you have a donator rank you get keep inventory on death that sounds extremely overpowered to me and completely goes against what Minecraft Survival is meant to be about they also have an in-game currency

Tokens which can be used to buy kits and other Goods allowing you to buy an advantage with them and of course it wouldn’t be a Pay to Win server without crates of which they have so many I mean seriously every one of their game modes has its own crate and people are buying

Them in bulk the most ironic thing though is upon joining the server you get a message saying anything that gives you an unfair advantage over other players is against the rules not like they care of course as long as the unfair Advantage lines their pockets another server recently blocked was

Called PVP or cold Network cold network is a PVP server primarily featuring practice which is 1v1 and a small kit based hardcore factions the server Peaks at around 150 players daily their ranks range from 60 to 90 dollars and actually aren’t that bad but then of course there’s the crates loot boxes and

Special kits or which seem to give you items which normally aren’t even accessible in vanilla Minecraft MC complex is another very large server regularly seeing over 1 500 players now interestingly The Horizon made two videos on them and a few months later they would end up actually being blocked

This server has everything in their store from 200 donator ranks they give you more stuff than I can even be bothered reading out to selling cray Keys tokens eggs and even plushies they have so many game modes as well that you bet there are whales on their server who

Have bought eight two hundred dollar ranks across all of them oh and they even have different versions of the same game mode which would guessed it entirely separate ranks besides their 71 different Pixelmon servers they also have Skyblock factions prison you know the usual and I can tell you that this

Server makes Bank thousands per day if not tens of thousands all right there’s dozens of block Minecraft servers I could talk about including mc.your literally broke Microsoft slaveslo dot trade but for today the final block server we’ll talk about is invaded lands owned by larger Minecraft Youtuber

Skeppy the server gets around 150 to 300 players daily now we don’t need to go through the store again as it’s the same story as every other server expensive pay to win ranks crate Keys you know the usual I will say though they do have one of the more interesting service shops

So if you’ve got a Keen Eye or are just a player of some of these servers you may have realized something the servers I’ve shown you today were blocked at one stage that’s right but guess what they were all unblocked only days later now you may be thinking oh they just changed

Their service door to be in line with the Minecraft Euler right well unfortunately that’s just not the case every server I’ve shown is from today these servers were all unblocked when they were all extremely paid to win Viper MC didn’t die due to being blocked they died likely because their ownership

Decided to focus on minecadia instead no big server has actually ever seen any significant detriments fines or punishments from breaking the Euler and being blocked they all get off scot-free I couldn’t find any larger servers which got blocked and actually stayed blocked and this then begs the question why the

Hell did they get unblocked in the first place they are all still paid a win most of which containing real money gambling mechanics that prey on their literal underage player base what the hell is Mojang’s brand enforcement team doing and this right here is part of the problem a much bigger problem with

Minecraft multiplayer as a whole if these pay to win servers see that they can continue getting away with breaking the Euler they’re going to keep pushing the boundaries of exploitation without fear soon enough we may have I don’t know prison Arcadia with a 999 R slapper

Plus rank or something as who’s going to stop them especially when they know it works now to be fair some of the servers which were blocked did make a few changes Viper MC were asked to remove lives certain kits as well and were asked not to do IRL payouts which is

Basically when real money is given to winners of a game mode each season but they are still extremely paid to win it’s like they were just given a slap on the wrist and were allowed to keep everything else set to bad remember mine Katie is super expensive 500 ranks well

Look at just how many players have it pay to win works it makes these servers so much money these servers have no reason to change and are only going to continue getting worse as Mojang fails to enforce their Euler over and over and unfortunately that’s going to be the

Sour end to this video the there is no happy ending or light at the end of the tunnel currently Minecraft servers are more predatory and pay to win than ever but all Microsoft seems to care about is Banning players from their own private servers for typing swear words I hope
