Strengthen the control of the Minecraft EULA in mainland China

MC's EULA is still applicable in mainland China. It is due to the lack of effective legal control, so a considerable number of players have not complied with it. There are the following: 1.Many players in the java edition sell mods there 2.Community is full of contradictions 3.etc I hope Mojang Shanghai Studio can increase its legal business，in order to create a better community

  If selling Java Edition Mods is evidence that mainland China lacks “effective legal control”, how do you explain SpigotMC’s dedicated Premium Resources section, where paid Minecraft plugins have been sold openly for years?

  And before arguing “plugins are not mods”: in the context of the Minecraft EULA, Mojang explicitly includes plugins within its definition of “Mods”, so they are relevant to a discussion about EULA enforcement.

  Paid Minecraft mods and plugins are clearly not unique to mainland China. They exist openly in international Minecraft communities as well. So why is this being presented specifically as a problem of Chinese law, rather than a broader question of how Mojang enforces its own EULA?

  Framing a global issue around one country in this way does little to improve EULA enforcement. Instead, this kind of framing risks marginalizing and stigmatizing an entire national community within the global Minecraft ecosystem, while creating hostility where there should be cooperation between players and developers.

  If paid Mods violate the EULA, the consistent position should be to ask Mojang for clear and uniform enforcement worldwide, rather than presenting the issue as evidence that mainland China lacks “effective legal control”.
