EULA?
Question:
If i make a coinshop, can i basically put any item in it aslong as people can get some coins for free?
Like with voting or afk rewards
or does it then still break the eula?

No, as long as you are not running a competitive minigame (generally with payouts) you are not breaking the EULA.
Though, I would recommend having a plan for multiple / different monetization options or the option to change the names / benefits of ranks and products easily.
Mojang's IPE team only provide a one week's notice before taking your server down, so being quick on complying is crucial to not lose players because your server got blacklisted.
so anything can be put on the store aslong as its ingame and ppl can obtain the store currency aswell ?
Yeah, even if it is not obtainable by normal players, again, as long as you are not a competitive server, you can have a coinshop.
And even give p2w items.
P2W is allowed (if you are not competitive)
as per the EULA, the virtual currency can't be bought. You can have a separate paid currency that can be used on only cosmetics.
You can also make stuff paid like boosters that affect all players
you can't let people pay for an advantage iirc
Note: the eula specifically notes "competitive advantage", but is not entirely descriptive on what is or isn't a competitive advantage.
It notes that the inclusion of a scoreboard does make it competitive.
(sorry, I mean CUG. Not EULA)
If you want a copy of the commercial guidelines, they're here

CUG is the main thing to worry about anyways
here's the main snippet that you have to worry about
YOU MAY:
- sell entitlements that affect gameplay provided that they do not adversely or negatively another player’s experience and provided they do not give a competitive gameplay advantage. A competitive gameplay advantage is something that, given identical skill levels, time investment, and circumstances, can cause one player or group to perform better than another.
- - Be aware that certain games or game modes can be designed as non-competitive (such as a player-versus-environment (PvE) game) and become competitive by adding gameplay elements such as a leaderboard.
i have boosters and cosmetics that can be bought
but also crates & perm nodes
Are boosters for everyone
Or just the person who bought em
As long as the boosters are for everyone and the crates/permissions are only cosmetics
you'd be following the eula
how abt the perm nodes though?
crates aren't cosmetics eh
doesn't every server do crates with not only cosmetics?
if the crates are paid and provide a competitive advantage, then that server isn't following the eula
But they don't do much about it ig?
Also
Lotterys aren't allowed either right? Unless you change the nameyeah, a lot of things aren't allowed, but either the EULA isn't enforced, Mojang doesn't care, or nobody has reported the server
lately alot of servers i know got brought down though
https://twitter.com/BlockedServers
oh yeah, they only seem to enforce it about once a year
check that twitter page :p
thats alot more then once a year lol
minecraft police are coming for you lmao
