Hey toy cat have you talked about the Euler changes of course referring to the very controversial Minecraft change which allows them to take down any server for any reason whatsoever if they don’t like what you’re doing or bans you from putting Minecraft in the title of your YouTube videos these huge claims Which are circulating a lot on social media raised the question of why Minecraft is deliberately trying to screw its player base once again it seems like ever since the Microsoft acquisition it’s poor corporate decision after Poor corporate decision so what actually is behind them and what has actually changed with Minecraft allow me To explain with today’s video I’m a big believer in the truth being the most important thing and so the important truth here is that the end user license agreement or Euler is something that you agree to inherently by playing Minecraft this is a kind of terms of service but For Minecraft so it’s equivalent to that little box you have to tick when you sign up for a website saying I agree to the terms and services but that is the way it works for Minecraft so this has changed slightly in the last week but it’s mostly not the Euler that’s Actually changed contrary to the memes but it’s actually the brand usage guidelines these are guidelines that Minecraft has put out to help you understand how they think you should be using their name AKA Minecraft the brand which is anything related to Minecraft and their assets which is anything from The blocks to the code to the mobs anything that is minecrafty are the things they actually own they’re letting you know what they think you should be doing with it and because it’s a document written by lawyers There are rules in here like you cannot use Minecraft and hurt their brand by using It in terrorism which is such a ridiculous claim like yes I was going to commit a terror act but then I saw it was against the Minecraft Euler and I realized I was screwed but yeah there are all these sorts of guidelines that are basically there to reduce liability You cannot be unlawful deceptive obscene or harmful you cannot use their name uh to say things that they do not think are associated or supported by Mojang these are mostly reasonable and mostly aimed at reducing liability if you do something terrible and you claim it’s related to Minecraft even though it’s Not but then they put in here something about naming guidelines which is to say that you cannot use Minecraft as the primary name for something and the example that they write down here is katoba miners a Minecraft server for Redstone builds is absolutely cool well Minecraft the ultimate kotoba server for Redstone is not cool they don’t want Minecraft to be your primary title they even use a podcast example the shaft a Minecraft as podcast is great well Minecraft the ultimate help app is not for almost every commercial product they don’t want using Minecraft as the primary title because then you’ll be Promoting something with their name and making it sound like it’s affiliated with them when it’s not this gets really messy when it comes to servers and YouTube videos though because you might have Minecraft server for blank blank blank or you might have a video which starts with Minecraft would I be Breaking the Euler and therefore a law if I put Minecraft at the start of my title well I think it’s important to note uh because this second comment here raises the important thing that like well most things in Euler can’t be taken to court they can’t do anything to you Legally for violating the Euler this is factually accurate that you are not committing a crime by breaking the Euler the end user license agreement is not law and the brand guidelines even less so because they are not legal documents by your country they are a guide from a Game as to how they want you to use their stuff however even though that that is not to say that you can’t be taken to court you can only be taken to court by Mojang themselves or Microsoft or someone on their behalf for the specific purpose of recuperating damages Which you have caused Mojang if I was to go on a massive pornography gambling or terrorism spree using Minecraft as the official name at the start of it all trying to pin it all in Minecraft and that caused Minecraft actual harm when news outlets started talking about it and fewer people started buying Minecraft they would be in the right to come after me to recuperate those damages not that I’d have those money because I’m sure Minecraft terrorism doesn’t pay too well but the idea is is that it’s a civil issue that Minecraft can raise with you because you agree to Their terms and when you break those terms and you harm Mojang they have every right to try and get those damages from you and just to clarify even without a Euler and without these brand guidelines they can still technically just do that we’ve specifically told you Not to do terrorism this isn’t okay but obviously it applies to much more likely things like we specifically told you not to do gambling and even depressingly something that probably has happened at least a few times we specifically told you not to do Minecraft pornography sorry these are all new terms and Service updates in your video and so these rules are mostly about giving Mojang power to decide how some of these things are done in fact specifically they do have a very big section on how in-person events can be done this is a rule which they unofficially a force but now they’re Putting it in their rules saying that if you have a gathering of more than 150 people we don’t want you doing that that is something we reserve the right to do if you’re making a bunch of money from sponsorships uh they specifically say commercialize and sponsorships that is Our money effectively we don’t want you doing it because we don’t want you making a profit on the Minecraft guidelines it could be argued a similar thing is being done for Minecraft servers with that rule about taking one down at any time well we don’t like this And no one in the community really likes this but there’s no rule that says this is technically not okay even though you’re kind of really deliberately skirting around the rules and so we’re using our capsule Clause to say you’re taking down your server anyway take that You suckers but the thing is if you actually look at this meme right here that says any server piece of online content can be taken down at any time if Mojang don’t like what you’re doing uh it’s not actually found anywhere in the Euler or anywhere in the brand Guidelines the thing that this is most likely referring to though is the subject to change section of the uh the brand guidelines which says that these guidelines may change as time goes by we reserve the right to change our mind at any time such as the people who start to Take advantage of our good intentions and to update these guidelines this is the absolute BS thing to me not only are they going incredibly restrictive over the top on the off chance that maybe you break a rule and you they’re gonna oh you’re gonna owe them some money but Also they’re trying to argue that they can change these rules unilaterally this is 100 not okay and Mojang should not be trying to do this this is not an acceptable way to make a legal agreement ignoring the bare flimsy argument that you agree to the Euler by playing Minecraft and you agree to the Euler by making Minecraft videos or servers the messed up thing is to argue that you can change that anytime you want because that’s not how agreement work if me and you agree to something you can’t unilaterally make a change to that and In the case of the Minecraft you love I can’t decide tomorrow oh yeah I signed up and I agreed of the Euler when I bought my copy but I’ve changed my mind since then you can’t make that decision without notifying Mojang and giving them the opportunity to say no and so Mojang Trying to say yeah but we can change the rules you have to follow I also think that is just as ridiculous and they shouldn’t be trying to do it and this is a very important thing Mojo you know a lot of her memes are kind of fake news Basically uh but some of these are actually real and also there’s a lot of powers in here that could give Mojang the ability to arbitrarily take things down Powers they’re not going to use right now but why should we be at the whims of the random Microsoft or Mojang Employees and what they feel like taking down I do not think that is a good way that Minecraft should run its community and I don’t know why they had to write that anyway so wasn’t most of the yellow thing Miss info they never said no guns No cues and anything the meme says I thought you were cool of Mojang I want to be clear here that I don’t take a side of like oh Mojang is always good or Mojang is bad I am someone who is motivated by the truth I think that is The most important thing it would be a very scandalous thing if I said yeah Minecraft is Banning my Minecraft but videos I could get millions of views by arguing you know like crying and breaking down and saying they just don’t want me to make money on a series where I do something really fun like yeah you nine to people is a very profitable business but I am a big believer in the truth being the most important thing and so I need to say sometimes Mojang gets it really right there’s some things that they’ve done incredibly over the last Few years and sometimes mochan gets it really really wrong like with their response to the fireflies and the Birch Forest so uh like with their you know they’re very very much the way they think that they can change the EULA anytime um trying to just be like oh are you Pro Mojang or anti-mojang is entirely Ridiculous by the way isn’t this the reason why there’s a disclaimer of online content cannot be rated um Yes actually that is the reason that you usually put those scammers in there and interestingly enough even though Minecraft argues yes anything we don’t Like is uh you know anything you do is going to harm us and that’s a big problem van enough in Minecraft realms terms and conditions they’re like yeah we just provide you the server anything you do on there is not our fault they should have just applied those rules to Minecraft videos and Minecraft servers and anything else that isn’t explicitly harming Minecraft by you know even encouraging people to buy crank copies or encouraging people to get fake mods or anything like that I think anyway anything that harms Minecraft users should be the thing Minecraft goes after not things that harm the Minecraft Bottom line that’s just my take though and uh that’s funny that Minecraft themselves basically use that speaking of Minecraft themselves we’ve had a lot of questions now about the Euler so just take a little break from that why is aqua fantasy a head in Shaman instead of A chest and Shaman you mind with your arms are not your skull and this is a really good point obviously respiration is about more breathing I don’t know how your helmet is going to give you that but it makes the most sense there of any body piece why is aqua affinity on your Head too though it clearly should be all about your arms or maybe you could argue about your feet you get a really steady footing and that’s why it’s there uh aqua affinity being ahead and Shaman is dumb I agree hella weird also uh so so shaders coming to console officially Could be a thing is something that uh came up this week yes the changes they’re making to Minecraft and the red dragon and the Run of exclusivity of RTX ending means that you will be able to have shaders on consoles but most likely they’ll be on the newest gen only and They won’t really run that great that is the Big Challenge it’s not adding these amazing effects to Minecraft because RTX Minecraft looks incredible it’s about adding them to Minecraft and actually making it run effectively that is the actual programming challenge by the way I believe that if someone doesn’t like The village trading mechanics they should put they should not use them and stop worrying about what I’m doing to op who TF cares this is interesting because it’s the exact same argument about the Euler right if Mojang doesn’t like what we’re doing why are they going to run About and change it and a lot of Minecraft changes are kind of made against the will of the uh you know a lot of people and that’s something you kind of have to do with a game there’s no easy way to make you know you can use Game rules for only so much uh there’s no easy way to make Minecraft a better game without harming the people who play it already and I think the easiest solution to that is the Minecraft’s not you know changing your existing wealth thing if you want to keep change trading With the existing villager mechanics you’ll be able to do that on your existing wallets before this update however I also think that’s why it’s so important that Mojang tries to buff things that aren’t doing so well rather than Nerf those that are because then when you start a new world you might get Confused about how differently it performs compared to how you’re used to speaking of different performance uh why don’t they just do it based on librarian as an individual selling you different types of enchantments like a librarian that specializes in Trenton and shamans or in different types of protection I Think this is the Fairway through the Nerf any Librarian from any Village maybe could give you a particular type it’s just that specific Librarians and specific villages will give you more types uh you know we’ll give you more a higher chance of giving you same mending Or a higher chance of say if he’s near the coast it could be the train and shamans having some logic to the biome positions but also making the randomness work for everyone if they insist on doing it the old way is a good way to blend that whole don’t ruin the game for Existing people while also allowing people who do know things to take advantage and do some fun things however the uh the most important comment clearly seems to be this one with 700 upvotes I don’t know how to feel about mending only being found on Swamp villagers like could they at least make A swamp village now I totally agree if you’re if these changes are so controversial and they want to push them through anyway just make a swamp Village to balance it out so at least when people go to a swamp they can go through one less step to make it happen that’s That’s my personal take at least because for people like the tiniest plane 22 who has a nearest Desert Biome that’s 6 000 blocks away I think having to go through 6 000 blocks worth of effort and then doing a bunch more work when you get there just sounds like a much harder way Of doing things speaking of harder way of doing things the Villager changes actually distracted everyone from the diamond change and James Smith makes the really funny point that wait diamonds are too common so we’ll make the templates cost a silly amount of them to dupe and now everyone needs more Diamonds so they increase their generation WTF they love to make and solve their own problems don’t they and this is the problem with not having a cohesive overall game design very not having doing a really long-term plan that’s actually planning out um is that when Minecraft has a big problem for Example there’s too many diamonds they can fix that by having more uses for diamonds but now there’s so many more uses for diamonds and people need more so then you add more diamonds to the world and I do think that’s a funny example but I think in reality they’re Adding more diamonds to the world as part of a you know rebalance away from villager trading in the same way that you know getting uh you know like any enchanted book from Trading makes way more sense than actually enchanting it’s also true that diamond boots or armor or Swords or pickaxes are so much easier to trade for right now and so a good way to balance that one could be just making more diamonds visible and so you can go and mine for diamonds and do it the other way that is the right type of balancing change funnily enough speaking Of right type of bouncing change can we normalize putting the seats in the description or in the comments so we can just copy and paste them into Minecraft so to be totally honest with you um this date the reason I didn’t do that used to Be in the console days that if you had a consult you were watching on a screen that wasn’t your console screen and so from your phone or your laptop or whatever you can move you could like manually type it and it wouldn’t help you if it was in the description because You’re moving from device to device anyway add in the fact that other content creators would just take your seeds if you left them in the description at least making them go for a little bit of work if they’re going to steal the entire video it felt like a Fair trade-off because yeah that’s what a lot of people did end up doing however in the Bedrock Days A lot of people do watch on say a PC and then they play Windows 10 Minecraft A lot of people do watch on a mobile phone and then they’ll Play Minecraft there and so those people would greatly benefit from having the seeds in the description which is why I’m trying to make it the norm from now on that yes we will go and do that even though more people will take the stuff and who knows what it is as a commercial Decision I do think it’s important that people can have that slightly easier thing to make seed Sunday better because there are a lot of copycats out there there’s a lot of other seed videos but I do like to try and provide some of the highest quality and best like group Together seeds here and hopefully that’s what you find in seed sun in the future and it is something I do find to be important so thank you chances cool it is some a good reminder that I need to do that for every single episode by the Way way I just need to go into a comment here from a piano boy because of course I uploaded a video uh this week a short about the new Pride Cape that they just added to the game and adding a cape to the game is a very big decision so the Fact that they did it for Pride is very very intriguing the fact that they did it for Pride the same week as they have these huge controversial Euler changes also incredibly interesting to me but yeah I do think it’s a big decision to add a cape and so I took the you know The my mindset of if you’re going to have a fourth cape then why add these Geographic restrictions to it however the comments had nothing to do with like the how Mojang’s adding it or where they’re adding it they instead entirely went on the stage of oh yeah Minecraft Cells are gonna go down go woke go broke and the funny thing about this is some people say it’s just people showing who they are uh but to me it’s like well you don’t really need a Minecraft Cape to validate your identity and that’s my Personal take uh but I do and a lot of people would say like wow Minecraft is trying to encourage people to identify as these things and that is like a real concern that people can have about how little control parents have over their children’s consumption of media I mean Whether you like it or not some parents do not want their parents to engage with that sort of stuff and so the fact that they have to at such young ages you know Minecraft ages or whatever the ages that are so young they can’t deal with guns On servers but they can deal with these sorts of things I do see that point but on the other hand I think uh you know like it’s hard to see but the number of people that are made Happy by this stuff is surprisingly High some people will be Like yes I suddenly do feel validated because I see my cape in Minecraft and it’s not something I can appreciate as someone who worked out uh where they were and I’m I’m somewhere in that plus thing I started work that out I have no caring or sense of community from it I Uh you know I genuinely can say I don’t identify People based on them being men or them being uh you know white asian or them being uh like uh whatever it is that I am what I mostly care about is like who you are and the identity stuff Seems really dumb and weird to me and the fact that so many people praise and hate this shows that we have such a focus on identity and how you represent yourself and how you try to get sales by using rainbows rather than it is about just yeah let’s all try and be decent With each other cover I think more important than the labels you use to describe yourself is do you try to be a decent human being are you caring are you thoughtful or what you whatever else if you’re just there to take an entire group of people and use them to push Your agenda whether that’s for them or against them I think that’s entirely ridiculous and I wish uh that more people uh cared about being better humans than about pretending that they look like better humans but as we’ve seen from the cape debacle that’s not the case people feel very strongly and Want to show that they feel strongly about things and I think it’s a bit ridiculous but that’s just my take what do you think and I don’t actually care please don’t leave a comment about it what you can leave a comment about though is q a SAS day if you have a Question for next week let me know in the comments down below and also uh seed Sunday tomorrow is going to be a fun one it’s the seats that cracked magnet uh like thought were really insanely good but couldn’t work out how to categorize together so it’s some of the wildest Seeds that Minecraft has I’m looking forward to going through it thank you for watching this video I hope you consider subscribing and have a good day
