Ethical Monetization Policy

Predatory Monetization

​

This includes:

  • ​Gambling mechanics

  • Dark patterns (ex. making it difficult to cancel a subscription)

  • Hidden costs

  • Fake sales

Gambling mechanics can lead to addiction. Dark patterns and fake sales are just dishonest.

This is a red line we will not cross. What you buy is what you get.

Mojang does not generally enforce any of this on Java Edition.

This may change as the server is out longer/grows, but we think profitability requires you to sit at around a 2 or 3.

 Mojang usually only enforces against pay to win when it directly affects a leaderboard. So selling XP and having a level leaderboard is banned.
