Minecraft (developed and published by Mojang Studios) began taking action against mod developers and servers in 2023 for using firearms, which was deemed 'adult' by their EULA. When asked for clarification of the changes made to their EULA, Mojang gave little response, and eventually pointed them to a new EULA which had been changed without either informing consumers about the change or asking for permission to change the contract. This information was available only internally, and was later revealed by whistleblowers, since the documents holding the internal changes to their EULA was held under NDA.
In addition they selectively ignores their own EULA rules on "gambling" (loot boxes and literally gambling) servers, and even made contract with Nerf to create Minecraft inspired weapons and in game items, but they still refuse to allow weapon mods.[1]
