Have you ever wanted to create a Minecraft server that makes you money, but are not sure what items you can give to donors? We have compelled a very EULA-friendly donation list for items that can make your players happier.
Are Server Donations Illegal
Server donations are not illegal on Minecraft, however, players have to abide by the Mojang EULA to ensure that donation perks do not make paying players more overpowered. There are a few types of donations that could be considered illegal, and those are perks or commands that give in-game advantages over non-donating players.
For example, commands that give PvP advantage, like adding more enchantments, or the use of such, which the average player cannot use. Another great example is restricting the average player from obtaining such items without having to pay. Overall, the Mojang EULA wants to ensure that users who don’t donate on a server, will not be left behind.
