EULA Requirements/Invaded not abiding to EULA

Hello! I don't mean to start anything against Invaded (I love the server; it has improved my PvP skills a lot) but I am currently helping start up a network server called Endran, but was a bit confused as to whether Invaded Lands is abiding to the Minecraft EULA or not. I was talking with one of my friends who is the network Co-Owner of Endran and he said that you are not allowed to sell in-game currency, items, etc. to give people a certain advantage. I am not quite sure whether this is true for Invaded or not, as they do sell in-game currency, kits, and vote crate keys and such. A good example of what I mean is here:
Watch up to 1:20 to see what I mean. Will this mean that Invaded will eventually get blacklisted? Is selling in-game currency, kits, etc. allowed?
By the way before you point fingers and say, "Hypixel sells these items. So does PvP Lands."
Yes, Hypixel DOES sell in-game items, over powered cosmetics, vote keys, etc. But Hypixel hasn't been abiding to the EULA for years and I can name a LOT of things that breaks it. Anyways, please don't ban me; I'm just asking a simple question and want to know :) (yes I read the rules)
Thanks!

Bruh that EULA is for 1.9+ servers. Invaded is 1.8 so this EULA does not apply to them.

It does break the EULA but since it's on 1.8 it doesn't affect Invaded

I think this is bs tbh. The EULA holds for all servers. If they changed the EULA in such a way that something you were doing before now breaks the EULA you can't be punished for what you did before the change but you can be punished for what you do after the change. The whole if you don't up date to blah blah blah doesn't make sense at all.

It might not make sense to you, but all servers that are not on 1.9 or higher are exempt from following this EULA. Why don't you read it for yourself and find out.

This is misinformation.
Quote from Owen »
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.

From what I've heard, servers have always had to comply with the EULA - Mojang weren't as strict about it before.

Ok, so I read up on it and I was a bit wrong, EULA does not affect 1.7.10 servers, but everything above it does affect. Since Invaded is native on 1.7.10 they are not breaking the EULA. https://www.akliz.net/manage/knowledgebase/44/How-to-Agree-to-the-EULA-on-a-Minecraft-Server.html

It is funny to me that you found this article and try to use this to prove your point while missing the statement that disputes your point. "The EULA affects all Minecraft servers and clients, including prior versions, " Is said in the article you linked. Second paragraph line 4-5. I'm not hating on ya but I do wish that you think critically and read the entire article before you use it.

The reason that I'm vehemently discussing that this is false is because I've seen it be mentioned a lot of times on this forums. This statement and way of thinking is completely illogical. It would be unreasonable to think that a company would hold different licensing agreements for different versions of the same product. If they were to do this you would find multiple EULAS each pertaining towards the ones they hold for specifically.
But this is not the case. The EULA holds for all servers irrelevant to their minecraft version that they're hosting. The EULA has always been in place but it's not always been acted upon, which is why so many servers are still up even though they break the eula. Mojang wants people to host servers and stuff, it boosts the popularity of their game. They also want you to abide by the EULA but it's hard to enforce and research the servers that break this EULA I guess. (no clue why they're so bad at enforcing supposedly).


Let's give a hypothetical analogy. We all know that you can only go through orange lights if you're unable to break if you're driving or already on the crosswalk if you're crossing the street. Let's say the government suddenly decides that crossing an orange light is punishable no matter the reason. If the police has evidence of you crossing an orange light that outdates the time of this new law. They can't punish you for it. But if you cross an orange light and get caught after the law passes then you will get punished for it.

The same goes for minecraft servers, it's not because the eula has "changed" that it doesn't hold for the server you were running before that change. It just means you can't get punished if they have evidence of you breaking the new eula before the change happened. They can still enact the new eula after the change happened.

Hi there,

Discussing the semantics and legalese surrounding the Minecraft EULA isn't what these forums are for. If you have genuine concerns surrounding this matter, you should take them up via appropriate channels rather than the forum. As the original question has been succinctly answered now, this thread has come to its natural end and I'll be closing it. :)

Thanks!
