Mojang's recent EULA and TOS change megathread
DeeKay:
I love this part..
"You are not allowed to restrict gameplay features in an attempt to make money."
"You are allowed to charge players to access your server"
Umm.. ok Mojang, pretty sure not being able to join a server is the biggest restriction you can make.

That's a good way to drain the lake and show the fish their amazing ocean.

The problem here is that Mojang doesn't understand the difference between normal servers and pay-to-win servers.
Mojang has a huge negative opinion on servers that has a pay-to-win mentality, and in a way I agree with it, but it doesn't understand that normal servers and small servers don't enforce a pay-to-win mentality, but rather just add an option so that they can hold their server up. None of these servers ever restrict a player to bare-bone items.

We its extremely unlikely that they would ever go after small servers like us. They are interested in the huge servers that could potentially make thousands of dollars on top of paying for their server.

Come on...they killed classic and are now making their first step to killing multiplayer.
Anyways, what are we going to do about it? I see there are three broad/general actions:
1. Remain unchanged, hopefully Mojang doesn't screw us up. Pretty likely because we aren't popular anymore.
2. Loophole. If we were to do this it would have to be insanely clever with absolutely no flaws, but then again falls under the "under the radar" section since we aren't popular anymore (again).
3. Remove donations entirely. This would really be a last resort to when Mojang finds out we are being super super illegal with our system.
Furthermore, what is the consequence for doing such a thing?
Seriously, I liked it way more when it was as simple as not distributing .jars.
