Hi!! I hope whom ever you are are having a wonderful day. If you’re not then I want you to know I’m praying for you. No matter what you did on the past you can’t change it keep going. Have a good day. God bless you and your family
im about to make a casino, and add a new thing called "loot box" that can give you random things, or even nothing at all. so mojang removes gamblinf in minecrafts6
So basically mahjong allows halfgambling(lootboxes) but have problems with gunmods according to your video+mahjongTOS and thats a good thing? I dont think i want to watch your content anymore,doesnt seem appropriate for me after i heard what was spoken about voting sites and gamersafer,basically: bad practice from 1 side = good and bad practice from other side = bad Hope you have non ironically fantastic day regardless and bye bye!
I'd love to see Mojang and ultimately Gamersafer make a more firm definition for P2W. Right now its waaaay too vague. We as a community have a pretty firm definition (That is nothing that gives you a firm advantage on official server leaderboards like baltop and istop which a lot of player competition is held over) and I'd love to see them adopt something along the lines of that.
I feel like that definition is too narrow, personally. For example, I don't think you should be able to buy weapons and tools on a leaderboardless survival world, as competition is inherent in a finite (though large) world with limited resources. But that definition allows it. I guess you would consider that to be semi-P2W, but I don't think it's acceptable, especially when (as discussed in the video) coupled with loot box type gambling mechanics. I doubt Mojang will ever be that strict with P2W, but I can dream.
They'll keep it vague because Mojang can avoid any liability as to when they decide to enforce it and when they don't. They have zero incentive to make it more clear.
The part where "gambling" only seems to affect actual simulations of real life gambling reminded me of how when Pokemon Red and Blue got released for Virtual Console they got rated 12 in Europe because of the Game Corner. (Also the fact that it's applied only in this way is definitely concerning)
Hard to say if casinos would do such things though it is more probable in arcade shop(then again if you look at Japan gachapons exist outside everyfew stores)
I'll say this, if your server does get denied just because of map art and people making intricate redstone builds that could be seen as gambling, then there's no doubt that there will be some drama and outrage
Ye, and if that does happen, then let’s just say I will be ready and waiting for the s**t show video dissing GamerSafer or Mojang, or even both, so ye, and if this does happen, then I will DEFINITELY be on MrEpic’s side
@@bumblebell07streammod same here, because redstone, like map art, is a creative effort to make something so detailed, and people take time to work on stuff like that

@@MikeVoidKai then maybe they could add age ratings to the servers on the list, although they'd prolly make the highest rating a server could have pegi 3.
I would also like to point out that if you are active within certain server's communities, its possible to pay for an unban by contacting server staff and buying certain items off the store as a way to "pay" for your unban without actually buying an unban. Some other servers have a workaround that offers a free way to get unbanned but you can buy coins to then buy an unban, like on minecadia.
@@pezpeculiar9557no lol unbans are vital for a server to stay cheater free. Money from unbans funds R&D for anti-cheat development to keep the server cleaner. There’s incentive to improve the anticheat because the cleaner the server is the more money they will make and the more money can go to improving the anticheat, hence unbans being vital for servers to keep their server cheater free
If they decide to embed the server list into the launcher or serverlist, that could mostly remove the problem of google not showing their website! Because nobody will need to google any serverlist at all anymore.
@@bafbihmn6301many of the folks who are not using the official launcher are also probably looking beyond the first google result and the first server of the list, but yes they should prioritize SEO.
According to the video here is how any player can get any server removed from the list. 1.Find a server where the players are able to place blocks and not reset at the end of the game/match (so stuff like survival/skyblock/creative etc) 2. Do something that could break the guidelines, examples being shown at 10:20 3. Report the server to be removed from the list for breaking guidelines (This is why there is that warning on games that online multiplayer gameplay is not rated...)
Not really. The server reviewers pointed those out because they were just allowed to exist without any mod interference. If what you say happens then the server owners might just be notified that someone is breaking the rules and the server owners/mods just break the build
I doubt mojang will communicate with server owners before deleting the server. Also there is a lot of space in a minecraft world, meaning a mod/admin would have to find the build to destroy it, meaning they would have to find a way to detect when a player is building at all minimally or if they build specific thing.
if i remember correctly it was to do with how on "normal" gambling if you lose you don't get anything back, while lootboxes always give you something in return(even if said something may be absolutely worthless), meaning it counts as buying something rather than gambling, thats the loophole i think, tho dunno how up to date that is
@@cristianverdugogalaz8725 Except the items in a lootbox DO have worth. Inherent worth in the context of the game you're in, social worth in the community. These things alone are psychologically powerful enough to have a similar if not equal pull to regular gambling. They are the same thing, and just as insidious.
FINALLY someone on YT whom I watch calls out those horrible Minecraft server voting sites. I remember back when I would play multiplayer all the time and was constantly looking for servers with parkour and/or skywars, and the VAST majority of servers I joined didn't have what I was after. I long since abandoned those sites as I rarely play multiplayer Minecraft these days, but I never forgot how misleading they could be. Speaking of Manacube though, I remember voting for Manacube a lot back when I played on it regularly. I didn't even do it for the server lol, I just did it for the voting crate keys I got as a reward. The server is definitely very pay-to-win, what with higher ranks giving you HUGE advantages over lower ranks, not to mention non-ranked players. Kinda regret spending money on it when I was younger and thought ranks/cosmetics were the coolest things ever. It's honestly really nice to see Mojang/Microsoft creating their own server list through a company partnership. Assuming the access to entry is low and simple, so many underrated servers can have an opportunity to grow. Hopefully it goes smoothly, if it does I can see this being a major win for Mojang/Microsoft. Amazing vid too even though I'm not finished yet lol. I really like seeing your style of content, it's super unique and really sets you apart! Super late congrats on 600K, can see you reaching 1 mil within a year!
It would be cool if the official Minecraft Server List had a sort of age requirement for certain servers. That way, you don't have to force EVERY server to be kid friendly, so that servers with profanity and such don't have to be forcibly shut down. After all, Minecraft is about doing whatever you want, so if you want to play a server with swearing, you should be allowed to, provided you're old enough.
as someone who's owned a small server for 5 years, i can completely vouch for the frustration that voting websites cause. im hoping that this new one fixes a lot of those issues
It would be neat if you could post the entire discussion. (Of course, editing out anything that they can not disclose to the public.) Would allow everything to be more transparent which is good for something that is likely to cause a lot of discourse.
I do think an server list run by Mojang can do wonders, but recently community trust in Mojang has fallen so I think there are some valid concerns here
There has always been and will always be p2w servers out here and much other dangerous servers. But for minecraft to get that stuff on the official page is messed up, it should be obvious that they are twisting the words in the mc rules.
really baffeling how they ban anything that looks like casinos but explicitly allow the act of gambling and encouraging people to gamble. This is the most stupid stance against "gambling" I've ever seen, it's literally just optics but the actual thing that's the issue is totally fine by them.
There is another big problem with some of these servers and I thank FITMC for pointing this out in his videos: Hackers can and have turned these sites into attack sites designed to log your personal and financial information. Honestly, when playing Minecraft, make your own world, invite some friends but avoid these "recommended" sites.
I was scrolling through a server list back in 2016. I joined a small faction server I found, and met the owners of the server. We became friends. Now it’s 2023 and we have remained good friends since, even with those days on Minecraft being long gone. If it wasn’t for server list I’d never have those memories of Minecraft which I do now.
Now that they have an official sever list they could make the whole chat reports thing mandatory for severs on the list and opt-in for servers off the list.
You know, all it would take is a button in minecraft that redirects you to the official minecraft server list... That would solve the google search issue...
Manacube has a lot of interesting past re: the owners, buying out a server ive staffed for and running it into the ground due to lack of advertising, little to no contact with the servers owner and a complete disconnect from the manacube staff team overall, some interesting stuff
Nah bro, if your server doesn't get in because of the "casino thing" then that would be sus as heck. I've played on Lover Fella's server in the past and that exact casino setup is built in so many shop bases. And his server is on their website. Also the vague eula from Mojang, I don't ever see them clearing it up because just like TH-cam and many other companies, they like being able to take things down if they don't like it personally. And having a vague eula allows them to do that.
They should simply add a category within the website called "no gameplay-altering microtransactions" or something of the sort. This way there can still be P2W servers on the list, however players can easily find servers with a completely equal environment.
Gambling needs to be extended to lootbox mechanics, simple as. I've given up hope that Mojang will be less lax about online multiplayer interactions (which are traditionally intentionally not rated by EU regulatory bodies), so if they're gonna tighten up any restrictions I hope it's with gambling.
So you cannot gamble in-game currency in an in-game casino, but you CAN gamble real money on crates that only pay out in-game. The latter is clearly more harmful than the former, but we live in a bass-ackwards world where only the former is banned. And speaking of bass-ackwards, the beacon of safety badge actually indicates that a server is unsafe, because chat reporting comes with the risk of getting globally banned. You are far safer on a server without chat reporting. But hey, at least these badges are displayed, because you then know which servers to avoid.
So a slot machine where pictures are spinning around, creating artificial excitement for landing that Jackpot is not allowed but it is allowed when you have pictures spinning around creating artificial excitement for landing that Jackpot. Got it.
I recently joined a server that has a lot of stuff like magic spells, bending, werewolves and vampires. But they also have crates. The crates are in a seperate lobby and require you to warp there. I just don't really mention them or visit them on stream, so my viewers aren't encouraged to use the crates. If they want crates, they have to look for it on their own. I myself also don't use the crates, as i just don't like them that much.
At the end of the day its MILES ahead of what we had before which I think is a win. Microsoft, a company that's been very hands of with mojang finally taking action is good to see
I wouldn't say Microsoft have been hands off with Mojang. I can see how they've pulled strings more and more as the years go by. But if they drop the "omg, think about the kids!!1!" attitude when accepting servers (In terms of the no swearing, etc requirements) then I think this server list might be the rare good change they've made.
The issue of gambling is a general problem in the gaming industry. Loot boxes and crates are not considered gambling by law. This is also the reason why companies such as Supercell or Hoyoverse make extensive use of these mechanisms. Nevertheless, their games such as Clash Royal or Genshin Impact have an age rating of 12 years. By the way, I find it very interesting that the Minecraft community is losing its mind over things like the marketplace, while other companies like Supercell and many others use manipulation tactics to squeeze out money from their players.
11:15 I don't see any reason why they can't just put a warning pop-up when someone tries to view your server on the site. That would solve every problem they have with younger players viewing such harmless swear words.
@@cheeseburgermonkey7104 Its probably more for parents. That way some parent can't throw a fit about how "there's nothing saying there would be swearing" instead of acknowledging letting your kid on the internet unsupervised is a bad idea
The difference between loot boxes and gambling is that Loot Boxes = you get something albeit sometimes a lesser value than what you purchased it BUT you still get something while gambling on the other hand is basically just a middle finger to you saying you get nothing if you lose. that is pretty much the loophole they're using
Thanks for sharing your comments, TME! I'm glad we'll get a chance to prove ourselves as we keep building this site, and work with the community to build something genuinely useful and fair
Funny. I just seen SaCl's video and he's like "i talked to folks" and i seen your pfp which is just, by now, unmistakable as yours, so i figured you'd be making a video about it too 😂
This is just stupid. They very well are objectively gambling 🤦♀️ just because it's a vague roulette wheel vs a recreated "actual" roulette wheel. C'mon, guys...
How is it "gambling" if the only thing you get is video game items? By that logic, pokemon cards are gambling. "Mystery flavor" soda drinks are gambling. A variety pack of jelly beans is gambling.
amazing video as always tho i have a small issue with the editing in that you make the background music way to loud and make it hard to hear you sometimes this is really the only problem in all your videos so personally i would lower the music volume if i were you
an in-game server list that doesnt discriminate and just gives a random list of servers, so that we can find and remove truly despicable servers, while promoting even things that while you may not like, are still good for a GAMING community, rather than specifically just for families
what about Games of Chance vs Games of Skill? There is a lot of internet legislation around that. Also I'm happy to see you reaching out and not simply making videos about what you feels isn't working.
I just want to say if you look at the Xbox legacy console versions of Minecraft, the game is rated everyone 10+. Now, the game is tailored to those under 10. Funny
I know Microsoft didn't like crates because of gambling and wanted Mineplex (bedrock) to phase them out. In general the guidelines are vague and what is considered problematic has changed over time and the amount Mojang has focused on enforcement has also not been consistent either.
I think the idea of having a server list in the launcher or in game is huge. Server list websites are kinda pay to win in their own regard, so to be able to prioritize fair server listings sounds like a great way to deal with them. And also on that note, since microsoft's server list is supposedly unbiased, that would mean people could intentionally vote for servers that do not have gambling mechanics, while not voting for ones that do. We would have to have a large portion of mc players doing this to make a difference, but the fact that someone cant pay to push a high voted server down is a good start.
Lootboxes are a bit of a pain to regulate tbh. They'd need to trace conversion of real world money into in-game resources, and check if any chain of resource conversion leads to lootboxes. On the other hand, if they temp ban servers that try to use these loopholes for a few months, it might be doable
I would like to see an option on the server list that filters servers that are aimed more for adults. While these servers will still follow community guidelines, they can be more lenient on "offensive material", like the art that was show, or mild in game gambling. This way life long Minecraft fans can play without having to be surrounded my children.
Hello, I just wanted to let you know the full story of pika. You can vote the server for 15-16 days; Getting you pika iron which allows you to buy those pay to win swords & other items
I just hope they end up settling on the fact that it's not the gambling method that's bad, but instead the fact that young people with poor impulse control and access to their parents' credit cards can end up sinking money into these gambling-adjacent lootbox systems and develop an addiction to the thrill at an early age, as long as the server owners include a hard limit on how much you can play the gambling features and don't monetize said gambling features whatsoever, it should be at least manageable
Yeah, it was my complaining about player casinos that got me banned from MineSuperior. It doesn’t matter if the “games of chance” ie: slot machines, are for real money or not. The Statute’s of the US (where most servers are hosted) prohibit offering games of chance to minors.
Not sure if the social stigma surrounding the chat report feature has changed a lot more than it dying off when it was a hotter topic, but I am not sure if I can still take servers that use them well when there has been the said to be verified part of not messing with the encryption of messages and all that. Next to the part of having your account unable from playing multiplayer, hard to say if their moderation is still much to go by from not seeing it a lot in action as having your own team only is still preferred by many of them on and off the website. Also those macrotransaction ranks are way overkill for perks instead of just having fair no-reward donations instead. The gamble-able loot crates are one thing that should be absolutely washed out, but not even ranks should cost more than AAA games- especially (*with*) consoles, in one purchase for what they only offer for who knows how long the server lasts, even for cash whales when they are brought up.
They should just integrate the official server list in the launcher & game itself so when u click on multiplayer you can get a server list from the website
I used to play on a prison server on Manacube... It was heavily P2W cause they would reset the whole server every(x) amount of days, I think it was like 30-60 days(give or take). And if you were a F2P player, you would lose all of your items, achievements, upgrades on your pickaxe, etc And in order to grind for the upgrades on your pickaxe you would need to grind and grind, and grind for hours just to get to like 5% of what a P2W person has. Then there's the paid currency was still obtainable by you voting for the server(but you would only get 0.05 per vote) and trading 800K in-game currency, called: Mana. For 1 paid currency, which I forgotten the name for it.
Such a stupid loophole by saying "we only ment casino type games" when we mentioned gambling. If it requires real money to buy a lootbox it's gambling, plain and simple. I've never enjoyed playing on servers like that anyway, so I'm not affected. I just play the actual game with my friends, not mini games. They've always been pretty boring to me.
Yk, If you want to track down as many people as possible who making PTW servers in order to ban them in such a way that they couldn’t come back with alts this would be one of the best methods. Just get those people to officially register for these server lists then wait a while before mass banning them, now with enough info about the real life person to be able to track down any alts they might use. Though I doubt that’s Microsoft’s plan.
Microsoft really needs to make the guidelines stricter and be more explicit otherwise it will be impossible to maintain the minrcraft multiplayer server community
Interesting that you mention Origin Realms because in my opinion the disgusting tactics they use with FOMO and loot boxes were the big problems not the arcade games.
I love the server list itself now that it actually displays servers that are somewhat honest and worth playing. But, my only gripe with all servers currently is that some plugins are almost always tied in with a mode with a ton of other plugins that kinda conflict with others. For example, McMMO. You know how fucking hard it is to find a server that ACTUALLY uses it right? Probably the closest server to somewhat use it fairly is Complex Gaming (Yes, that server). Almost 90% of other servers that use McMMO either completely nerf the mob spawns, or reward you with limited skills. So, I think that’s another issue for people looking for servers, and that’s just finding the one that utilizes your favorite plugin/gamemode well. Since I played Complex Gaming for under a week now, and found that McMMO is more utilized than other servers (Especially Lovercraft, god forbid that server), I was practically thinking,”Yeah, this is good enough.”
Damn, talking for TWO HOURS with stilffred. Imagine getting locked in a talk with a deranged hypocrite. Probably would've been better to speak with his underlings, at least they just get paid rather then believe their boss.
idk if I'm seeing your side of this. I obviously think voting websites are messed up, but there is nothing stopping the minecraft community from creating something similar to this that doesn't allow for lootbox style mechanics in the game. If they integrated this server list into the launcher, we could potentially see alternative minecraft clients doing the same, but with a community based alternative server list.
You could, but i dont think 99% of the Minecraft playerbase would give a fuck, you might create the perfect server list, but if it doesn't show up on google it might as well not exist, very few people actually use third party lunchers, and the people who use those probably do not need the server list anyways.

Long story short - Minecraft used to be a game for everyone, and now mojang is selling out and pandering to children
I was scrolling through a server list back in 2016. I joined a small faction server I found, and met the owners of the server. We became friends. Now it’s 2023 and we have remained good friends since, even with those days on Minecraft being long gone.
If it wasn’t for server list I’d never have those memories of Minecraft which I do now.
Now that they have an official sever list they could make the whole chat reports thing mandatory for severs on the list and opt-in for servers off the list.
You know, all it would take is a button in minecraft that redirects you to the official minecraft server list...
That would solve the google search issue...
Manacube has a lot of interesting past re: the owners, buying out a server ive staffed for and running it into the ground due to lack of advertising, little to no contact with the servers owner and a complete disconnect from the manacube staff team overall, some interesting stuff
Nah bro, if your server doesn't get in because of the "casino thing" then that would be sus as heck. I've played on Lover Fella's server in the past and that exact casino setup is built in so many shop bases. And his server is on their website.
Also the vague eula from Mojang, I don't ever see them clearing it up because just like TH-cam and many other companies, they like being able to take things down if they don't like it personally. And having a vague eula allows them to do that.
We’re going to get a new flavor of what we already had. It’ll just be slightly more transparent with very similar core issues.
And ofc they went the "if you cant defeat it, join it" way with gambling
One more step towards improving the whole Minecraft servers scenario, one video at a time.
They should simply add a category within the website called "no gameplay-altering microtransactions" or something of the sort. This way there can still be P2W servers on the list, however players can easily find servers with a completely equal environment.
map art bad, p2w predatory lootboxes good... totally not morally corrupt
Gambling needs to be extended to lootbox mechanics, simple as. I've given up hope that Mojang will be less lax about online multiplayer interactions (which are traditionally intentionally not rated by EU regulatory bodies), so if they're gonna tighten up any restrictions I hope it's with gambling.
So you cannot gamble in-game currency in an in-game casino, but you CAN gamble real money on crates that only pay out in-game. The latter is clearly more harmful than the former, but we live in a bass-ackwards world where only the former is banned.
And speaking of bass-ackwards, the beacon of safety badge actually indicates that a server is unsafe, because chat reporting comes with the risk of getting globally banned. You are far safer on a server without chat reporting. But hey, at least these badges are displayed, because you then know which servers to avoid.
Awesome video. Minecraft really is the circumference to a cube.
you havent even fully watched the vid why are you saying its awesome 😭
@@fo-od To get as many likes as possible? I guess.
It was an awesome video.
So a slot machine where pictures are spinning around, creating artificial excitement for landing that Jackpot is not allowed but it is allowed when you have pictures spinning around creating artificial excitement for landing that Jackpot. Got it.
You know it's a good video when it pops up on your recommendation page and says posted one minute ago lol.
Loot boxes/crates are essentially just slot machines.
If your server gets denied then that will be the nail in the coffin for me in trusting Mojang’s server list
It would be handy to have a link to the server list in the launcher
Bro I cant even explain this. Your such a fucking good youtuber man. PLEASE keep on uploading for ever.
It's a great idea for them to host their own website for servers which is why I'm concerned and worried
I recently joined a server that has a lot of stuff like magic spells, bending, werewolves and vampires. But they also have crates.
The crates are in a seperate lobby and require you to warp there. I just don't really mention them or visit them on stream, so my viewers aren't encouraged to use the crates. If they want crates, they have to look for it on their own. I myself also don't use the crates, as i just don't like them that much.
At the end of the day its MILES ahead of what we had before which I think is a win. Microsoft, a company that's been very hands of with mojang finally taking action is good to see
I wouldn't say Microsoft have been hands off with Mojang. I can see how they've pulled strings more and more as the years go by. But if they drop the "omg, think about the kids!!1!" attitude when accepting servers (In terms of the no swearing, etc requirements) then I think this server list might be the rare good change they've made.
The issue of gambling is a general problem in the gaming industry. Loot boxes and crates are not considered gambling by law. This is also the reason why companies such as Supercell or Hoyoverse make extensive use of these mechanisms. Nevertheless, their games such as Clash Royal or Genshin Impact have an age rating of 12 years.
By the way, I find it very interesting that the Minecraft community is losing its mind over things like the marketplace, while other companies like Supercell and many others use manipulation tactics to squeeze out money from their players.
Honestly if this webiste turns out good its gonna be so good for the community
7:29 That statement is what the forsaken Purple Prison needs to be converted too
I always look forward to seeing your videos every Saturday
11:15 I don't see any reason why they can't just put a warning pop-up when someone tries to view your server on the site. That would solve every problem they have with younger players viewing such harmless swear words.
You think anybody's gonna care about a warning popup?
@@cheeseburgermonkey7104 Its probably more for parents. That way some parent can't throw a fit about how "there's nothing saying there would be swearing" instead of acknowledging letting your kid on the internet unsupervised is a bad idea
@@echo_soldierTrue
The difference between loot boxes and gambling is that Loot Boxes = you get something albeit sometimes a lesser value than what you purchased it BUT you still get something while gambling on the other hand is basically just a middle finger to you saying you get nothing if you lose. that is pretty much the loophole they're using
3:40
Isnt that the systemzee server?
The best way to make the Minecraft official voting site is if Microsoft and Mojang integrated the site into the Minecraft launcher.
Thanks for sharing your comments, TME! I'm glad we'll get a chance to prove ourselves as we keep building this site, and work with the community to build something genuinely useful and fair
I look forward to it :)
All you proved is your incompetence
Funny. I just seen SaCl's video and he's like "i talked to folks" and i seen your pfp which is just, by now, unmistakable as yours, so i figured you'd be making a video about it too 😂
This is just stupid. They very well are objectively gambling 🤦♀️ just because it's a vague roulette wheel vs a recreated "actual" roulette wheel. C'mon, guys...
How is it "gambling" if the only thing you get is video game items? By that logic, pokemon cards are gambling. "Mystery flavor" soda drinks are gambling. A variety pack of jelly beans is gambling.
Hi, I'm from planet Minecraft and I am here to review your server.
amazing video as always tho i have a small issue with the editing in that you make the background music way to loud and make it hard to hear you sometimes this is really the only problem in all your videos so personally i would lower the music volume if i were you
an in-game server list that doesnt discriminate and just gives a random list of servers, so that we can find and remove truly despicable servers, while promoting even things that while you may not like, are still good for a GAMING community, rather than specifically just for families
the main reason why the servers are high on voting is because if you vote you get something special in game
seeing massivecraft pop up in the video gave me such a wave of nostalgia
An irl casino should add lootboxes, so those technically simulate irl gambling and get banned
what about Games of Chance vs Games of Skill? There is a lot of internet legislation around that.
Also I'm happy to see you reaching out and not simply making videos about what you feels isn't working.
I just want to say if you look at the Xbox legacy console versions of Minecraft, the game is rated everyone 10+. Now, the game is tailored to those under 10. Funny
True!
I would love to see the official server list be added into the game itself. Fingers crossed that does happen.
I know Microsoft didn't like crates because of gambling and wanted Mineplex (bedrock) to phase them out.
In general the guidelines are vague and what is considered problematic has changed over time and the amount Mojang has focused on enforcement has also not been consistent either.
I wonder if loot boxes will be considered prohibited if laws change to more broadly consider loot boxes to be gambling.
I think the idea of having a server list in the launcher or in game is huge. Server list websites are kinda pay to win in their own regard, so to be able to prioritize fair server listings sounds like a great way to deal with them. And also on that note, since microsoft's server list is supposedly unbiased, that would mean people could intentionally vote for servers that do not have gambling mechanics, while not voting for ones that do. We would have to have a large portion of mc players doing this to make a difference, but the fact that someone cant pay to push a high voted server down is a good start.
What if we create a IRL casino with loot crates so Mojang have to remove them from IG server
I think you can cooperate with other YT creators to make your own list of good non-p2w servers that are known to you that you can play with fun
Lootboxes are a bit of a pain to regulate tbh. They'd need to trace conversion of real world money into in-game resources, and check if any chain of resource conversion leads to lootboxes. On the other hand, if they temp ban servers that try to use these loopholes for a few months, it might be doable
time to write a comment about the video that came out less than two minutes ago and haven't watched more than 40 seconds of
real
So true
I would like to see an option on the server list that filters servers that are aimed more for adults. While these servers will still follow community guidelines, they can be more lenient on "offensive material", like the art that was show, or mild in game gambling. This way life long Minecraft fans can play without having to be surrounded my children.
1. Make/buy a casino in real life
2. Add lootboxes
3. Now they are forced to remove gambling from Minecraft since lootboxes now exist in real casinos
solution: open up a crate gambling casino irl. (also a non-p2w badge would be cool)
Hello, I just wanted to let you know the full story of pika. You can vote the server for 15-16 days; Getting you pika iron which allows you to buy those pay to win swords & other items
Lootboxes are clearly gambling and it feels disingenuous of Microsoft to allow this😠
Solution : sell lootboxes in real life so the servers are forced to remove them
I just hope they end up settling on the fact that it's not the gambling method that's bad, but instead the fact that young people with poor impulse control and access to their parents' credit cards can end up sinking money into these gambling-adjacent lootbox systems and develop an addiction to the thrill at an early age, as long as the server owners include a hard limit on how much you can play the gambling features and don't monetize said gambling features whatsoever, it should be at least manageable
9:23 This is Holow Knight greenpath music!!!
You still did not explain how helping pay to win for kids is a good thing
Yeah, it was my complaining about player casinos that got me banned from MineSuperior. It doesn’t matter if the “games of chance” ie: slot machines, are for real money or not. The Statute’s of the US (where most servers are hosted) prohibit offering games of chance to minors.
Not sure if the social stigma surrounding the chat report feature has changed a lot more than it dying off when it was a hotter topic, but I am not sure if I can still take servers that use them well when there has been the said to be verified part of not messing with the encryption of messages and all that.
Next to the part of having your account unable from playing multiplayer, hard to say if their moderation is still much to go by from not seeing it a lot in action as having your own team only is still preferred by many of them on and off the website.
Also those macrotransaction ranks are way overkill for perks instead of just having fair no-reward donations instead. The gamble-able loot crates are one thing that should be absolutely washed out, but not even ranks should cost more than AAA games- especially (*with*) consoles, in one purchase for what they only offer for who knows how long the server lasts, even for cash whales when they are brought up.
As a new mc watcher, I'm just surprised this ain't out 8 years ago aldy.
They should just integrate the official server list in the launcher & game itself so when u click on multiplayer you can get a server list from the website
I used to play on a prison server on Manacube... It was heavily P2W cause they would reset the whole server every(x) amount of days, I think it was like 30-60 days(give or take).
And if you were a F2P player, you would lose all of your items, achievements, upgrades on your pickaxe, etc
And in order to grind for the upgrades on your pickaxe you would need to grind and grind, and grind for hours just to get to like 5% of what a P2W person has.
Then there's the paid currency was still obtainable by you voting for the server(but you would only get 0.05 per vote) and trading 800K in-game currency, called: Mana. For 1 paid currency, which I forgotten the name for it.
Such a stupid loophole by saying "we only ment casino type games" when we mentioned gambling.
If it requires real money to buy a lootbox it's gambling, plain and simple.
I've never enjoyed playing on servers like that anyway, so I'm not affected. I just play the actual game with my friends, not mini games. They've always been pretty boring to me.
3:30 so if i add loot boxes and crate like things to a casino will mojang ban them in game?
I realised something: Minecraft Gamblng is a thing, meaning that emulating real life minecraft lootboxes is gambling, therefor against the rules
Yk, If you want to track down as many people as possible who making PTW servers in order to ban them in such a way that they couldn’t come back with alts this would be one of the best methods. Just get those people to officially register for these server lists then wait a while before mass banning them, now with enough info about the real life person to be able to track down any alts they might use. Though I doubt that’s Microsoft’s plan.
Microsoft really needs to make the guidelines stricter and be more explicit otherwise it will be impossible to maintain the minrcraft multiplayer server community
The offending map art is hilarious
I don't think I would mind if they implemented a server browser in all versions of minecraft, the top search results on google sounds much worse.
Interesting that you mention Origin Realms because in my opinion the disgusting tactics they use with FOMO and loot boxes were the big problems not the arcade games.
Minecraft has fallen, millions must play single player, billions even.
1.19.84 was a failure, billions must play 1.12.2 modded singleplayer.
9:42 I played on that server for a brief few months :o
I love the server list itself now that it actually displays servers that are somewhat honest and worth playing. But, my only gripe with all servers currently is that some plugins are almost always tied in with a mode with a ton of other plugins that kinda conflict with others. For example, McMMO. You know how fucking hard it is to find a server that ACTUALLY uses it right? Probably the closest server to somewhat use it fairly is Complex Gaming (Yes, that server). Almost 90% of other servers that use McMMO either completely nerf the mob spawns, or reward you with limited skills.
So, I think that’s another issue for people looking for servers, and that’s just finding the one that utilizes your favorite plugin/gamemode well. Since I played Complex Gaming for under a week now, and found that McMMO is more utilized than other servers (Especially Lovercraft, god forbid that server), I was practically thinking,”Yeah, this is good enough.”
Damn, talking for TWO HOURS with stilffred. Imagine getting locked in a talk with a deranged hypocrite.
Probably would've been better to speak with his underlings, at least they just get paid rather then believe their boss.
idk if I'm seeing your side of this. I obviously think voting websites are messed up, but there is nothing stopping the minecraft community from creating something similar to this that doesn't allow for lootbox style mechanics in the game. If they integrated this server list into the launcher, we could potentially see alternative minecraft clients doing the same, but with a community based alternative server list.
You could, but i dont think 99% of the Minecraft playerbase would give a fuck, you might create the perfect server list, but if it doesn't show up on google it might as well not exist, very few people actually use third party lunchers, and the people who use those probably do not need the server list anyways.
The server list in Minecraft could look like the one from Essential Mod
