When I think about Minecraft, I think coming home, playing on a semi-medium server, and talking with the players there. All servers are unique, and special.

And they make their money in different ways.

Now, Mojang does not let server owners charge for anything that is non-cosmetic. This includes:

• Kits
• Items
• Creative mode
• Classes
• In game currency

An anology:

Pretend Apple made their first computer, let tons of people but it, and program programs for it, and then tell them all "All your programs most be free".

That would kill most parts of the internet. Developing takes hours and hours.

I own a server, what can I do?

Ignore this rule untill Mojang asks you to stop. Then start after again a week. The lawers can't do much overseas, anyways. If enough people ignore it, Mojang will not be able to afford the lawers :), thus making it hard to send angry lawers. They would only be able to ask nicely.

I play Minecraft Multiplayer (and dont want it to colapse):
