Hey, I'm using an execute command to summon invisible ghasts at the player to propel them forward/up with Elytra. The problem is that the ghasts are not invisible when they spawn so it looks really bad. If you know how to fix this it would help very much!
Look, This thread is old, but need some help that is in this category.
I'm making a spider that's on the ceiling, and i'm using the name Dinnerbone to get him upside down, I'm in 1.9 snapshots, and a, using the levitation effect.
So, is there anyway to make a mob upside down without a name? or is there a way to hide nametags completely.
I agree with this statement, nobody is forcing you to play on these servers, and not only that, but people only started complaining about how servers are violating the EULA... ...when Mojang said something about it; it's always been there, why do people care so much about it now? xD
Look, some servers people really want to play on, but can't effectively because people with lots of money spend it on ranks that make them better than everyone else. Meanwhile, the people who don't pay are getting crushed but they really want to play on the server because it's fun. but the P2W aspect ruins it for them.
People who didn't like this pay-to-win stuff would just make their own servers that would not be pay-to-win.
Have you tried making a server? It's hard. You have to port-forward, and get people playing for others to have fun. I've tried many times, but it never get popular enough and therefor people go to play on servers that might offer P2W options.
It would be nice if they did, but there is one issue i can see with it.
you report server.com to mojang, who is the owner? where do they live? how does a C&D letter get sent to this person running this server?
Mojang need alot more than a server name/ip and getting all they need to take it to the point where they can get a lawyer involved could take months and alot of monies, its a lot more complex than most think
The report forum does make sure you put in a link to the place you can contact the server.
its not illegal to break an EULA (End User License Argreement) , you could be taken to court for breaking and EULA as you are breaking an agreement with the other party, like if i asked sach to do a voice over for me and we both sign a contract to agree the terms, if one of us breaks it the courts can help the wronged party.
For breaking an EULA to be illegal it would need to be made into an International Law and then the Police of whatever country your in would deal with you (I'm sure its alot more complex than that really)
Thanks, That clears things up.
Anyways, I'm in America, and it's time for me to go to bed. I'll be on tomorrow! Good night/your equivalent based upon your time zone.
It might be more accurate to say "Mojang has a right to decide how people use their intellectual property, and can sue and/or prosecute, at their discretion, if a person or group are not in line with their wishes." That is, it's ultimately up to them whether any legal action is taken.
Yeah, That makes more sense and really makes a point. I just think (Personally) that Mojang should enforce their EULA more. It is fine if anyone disagrees with me.
Hi Sacheverell and webrosc! I understand what you are both saying, This forum is not tied to Mojang and therefore can't do much about servers.
I'm not sure why people keep denying this and saying the forums mods/admins are just letting the servers on for money. I know you mods/admins would never want or do such a thing. I'll try using the wepsite Sacheverell linked. This thread was made to gather awareness of the problem, and maybe get Mojang doing something, because it is a problem. I'm not sure if it's illegal to be breaking the EULA or not, but i'm assuming it is. (Please correct me if i'm wrong.) Thank you for all the support!
-CB
EDIT: Sacheverell's link sends me to a Mojang website, and under current topics, There is how to report servers. The link there sends you to the report website, where a lot of people have been saying that it doesn't work. This is also the report system that i'm using to report servers. (I know the forum admins/mods cannot do anything about this, i'm just putting it out there.)
Edit: I just realized, if Curse really didn't want people giving them a hard time about EULA servers, wouldn't they lock this thread? It's been up for a bit, so clearly they're fine with this.
That is right. I'm now wondering the same thing, hopefully this won't get locked. Maybe a some point if we (I say we, pretty much just me.) get a lot support, Mojang/Microsoft might realize and do something about it.
Ummm... This says what i'm saying. Servers aren't allowed to offer Pay2Win options on their server.
This is what it says.
Are any servers exempt to the EULA?
No. It affects all servers and players equally.
Do server hosts have a grace period to implement changes to their servers?
Yes. All servers must comply with the EULA by August 1st, 2014.
Can I charge for access to my server?
Yes. How players join a server is up to you. Single entrance fees or subscriptions are both allowed.
How often am I allowed to charge players to access my server?
You can charge players as regularly as you like. You can even charge for timed access if you think it’s the best way to monetise your server.
What counts as a server? Are proxies one big server, or lots of smaller ones?
A server is something a user connects to with their client. The user is on a different server when they leave one and manually join another (in the multiplayer screen). Virtual servers and proxies make no difference; to the client it's the same server.
Can I charge access to a specific part of my server, such as a minigame or world?
No, you cannot charge for any part of a server. Only the access. Once on a server, all players must have the same gameplay privileges. You may make a different server which features “premium” areas, and charge for access to that server instead, but the benefits cannot carry between servers.
So can I charge for my minigames or mods?
Yes, so long as all players on your server have access to the features.
Can I offer a limited trial period for all users?
Yes. So long as both trial and paying users have access to the same gameplay features during the trial, we're cool with it.
Can I give paying users priority access to my server?
Yes, but you cannot restrict gameplay elements to specific users.
Does the EULA still apply for access to user-created mods?
Yes. It doesn't make a difference who made the mods, or how they were implemented onto your server. All mods require Minecraft to run. You are not allowed to charge for Minecraft features which affect gameplay.
What do you mean by “hard currency” compared to “soft currency”?
Hard currency is real money or anything that can be converted into real money, including Bitcoins. Soft currency is available in-game only, and has no real-world value. The restrictions in the EULA only apply to hard currency; you may unlock things in-game with soft currency.
Can I sell “kits” for hard currency if I provide a balanced alternative for non-paying users?
If the “kits” contain gameplay-affecting features they are not allowed. Gameplay balance is not relevant to the EULA. If the items included in the kit are purely cosmetic, you can charge real money/hard currency.
My server features a currency that you can earn through gameplay, but which can also be bought for hard currency. Is that OK?
Soft currencies that are earned in-game are fine, but you cannot sell in-game currency for hard currency. Hybrid/dual currency systems are not allowed.
Can I sell boosters, which provide faster gold gain, XP, or other in-game resources for hard currency?
No - boosters, item generators, and all other features that affect gameplay are not allowed.
So how do I make real money from selling cosmetic items?
You can sell cosmetic items for hard currency directly or allow players to fund an “account” specific to your server. It’s up to the host of the server to decide how this works. Remember that capes are the exception to this rule - you are not allowed to give them away or sell them.
Can I sell ranks on my server?
Yes. Ranks are allowed so long as any perks gained are cosmetic. Coloured names, prefixes, special hats etc. are fine.
Can users purchase something that affects the entire server, such as a temporary XP boost?
Yes, but everyone who can access the server must be able to use the feature, regardless of whether they purchased it or not.
Can I award all players with a gameplay feature if I reach a donation goal within a time period?
Yes, so long as all players receive the benefit regardless of who donated then it’s OK.
Can I charge for access to server commands?
Yes, as long as their effects are purely cosmetic. Commands that affect gameplay, such as a command to fly, cannot be sold for hard currency.
If all players get access to a feature such as a plot of land, can I sell access to multiple plots for hard currency?
No - that would be a gameplay affecting change, so it’s not allowed. All player who access your server must have the same gameplay features offered to them. The same rule applies to items, such as potions.
How should servers deal with users who have already spent hard currency on features that affect gameplay?
Users may keep the perks they've paid for on the condition that the same perks are available to other players on the server (directly or purchasable using soft currency). It’s up to the server host to decide how to compensate users for previous transactions.
(ATTENTION MODS/ADMINS: If you find that this should go in Servers, please move it. I Found it shouldn't because I think that should be for servers.)
Look, if you are like me, and don't have money to dump into servers like Factions, you should read this.
Hi, I'm CB, and i'm noticing that so many servers (Especially Factions servers) are violating the server End User License Agreement (EULA)
I feel that this is pretty much against the law, so I would like to put a stop to it. By the way, the EULA is here: >EULA<
Servers are offering stuff like ranks and kits to people how pay money or "Donate" here's some stuff from the EULA:
YOU MAY:
ask for donations (as opposed to direct charges) IF you do not offer the individual donor something in exchange that only he or she can use. You may offer server wide rewards if donation goals are achieved though.
sell cosmetic items, except for "Capes", IF the item sold does not give a user an unfair gameplay advantage over anyone else on the server - i.e there can be no "pay to win".
sell positive effects or enhancements (other than "Capes") IF everyone on the server is positively affected in exactly the same way.
provide in-game advertising opportunities, sponsorships, or product placement for 3rd parties IF they don't degrade or interfere with gameplay or give a user an unfair gameplay advantage over anyone else on the server.
use in-game currencies IF (i) they are "soft currencies" i.e. a currency earned or expended only through gameplay that has no real world value and that cannot be cashed out, used or transferred across free or paid servers, or converted into "credits"; and (ii) you don't give the impression that it comes from or is associated with Mojang.
So this is a major problem. And i'm sick of it.
Here's where you can report a server violating the EULA: >REPORT<
If you don't have time or don't want to, Ask me and i'll report it for you.
If you wan't to and have time, Report the server and let me know!

Correction, Servers that offer "Pay2Win" Content for paying or "Donating" is against the EULA. Not ranks themselves.
