Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers (twitter.com)

Just spreading awareness about whatever the fuck Mojang thinks they're doing. Given their enforcement of the EULA, or the lack thereof, this probably isn't going to have as huge of an impact, but I think it's still something worth talking about.

Here's an article on dotesports.com if you don't want to visit Twitter.

The Minecraft EULA itself as of 2nd August. I've got the attention span of a rat on cocaine, so if someone could check if Rock solid's points are an accurate summary of the EULA, I'd appreciate that.

I feel like Minetest could do with a good starter's guide for people who want something as close to the vanilla minecraft experience as possible. I heard about it before, spent maybe 15 or so minutes looking through the website out of curiosity, and came out with the impression that you'd need to spend time managing tens or possibly hundreds of mods for the full experience. Maybe that was an unfair assessment, but I feel like I wouldn't be the only one inclined to think that way at a glance. Don't mean to rag on it, maybe I'll install it and actually give it a shot.

Unfortunately minetest devs would never allow such a guide on the official site. I would be happy to write up such a guide but unsure where else it could be put for people to easily find it. We have talked about porting mineclone2 as a standalone game to digital game distributor like itch.io or gog. Perhaps I can make a getting started YouTube video and submit it to the official mineclone2 channel.
