Any further changes will be signposted in #announcements on Discord - if you're not a member of our Discord now is a good time to join. Over the next few weeks I will continue working with Mojang to ensure that Applecraft's web store fits within the guidelines of the new EULA. I appreciate that Red server has its own unique spirit and gameplay, however I believe this change is required to ensure that Applecraft is classed as a 100% casual (non-competitive) server.
This will greatly assist new players in navigating the server, and ensure that all players have a positive, fair, friendly, and accessible experience on Applecraft. Specifically, this means that Keep Inventory will be enabled and one core ruleset will now apply across all four survival worlds. Going forward Red World's rules will change to bring them in line with the rest of Applecraft. The notable exception to this is Red World, where we have allowed PVP, raiding and griefing outside claims. The majority of our focus across all survival worlds is PVE gameplay, which is why we have Keep Inventory enabled and don't permit raiding or griefing (even in unclaimed land). However, a new version of the EULA was released in April 2020 which provides greater flexibility for non-competitive (casual) servers like Applecraft.Īs you know, Applecraft aims to be a friendly, casual place to play Minecraft with your friends. The original EULA released in 2014 was quite strict in what can and cannot be sold by server owners, and as such Applecraft was blacklisted in November 2017. I have been communicating with Mojang for the past few months regarding Applecraft being unblacklisted.
