Hi everyone, in continuing to promote transparency and prevent potential bias, here are the latest emails regarding Mojang’s requests.

Hey all (again),

Another transparency update for our email talks with Mojang, with emails attached below per usual.

As a heads up, we are working on implementing solutions to meet Mojang’s issues identified. The details of such will be posted later once we have sorted that out, but this will be coming up soon.

Hey all,

Following through with our plans to be as transparent with you about the current discussions being had with Mojang, I’ve included both our email as well as their response to us below.

**__Free Speech Under Attack__**

Dear friends, I don’t often post announcements of this sort, but I feel it’s very important for you all to know what’s currently going on.

From the very start, over 15 years ago, one of the key founding principles of MinecraftOnline has been [free speech](https://minecraftonline.com/wiki/Free_Speech). What started out as an uncontroversal, common sense policy, has proved to be a cornerstone of this increasingly unique community. As time has passed and Western society has wavered back and forth in its political leanings, free speech has repeatedly come under attack for political reasons. It has now become common to see arrests for posts on social media in countries such as Britain and Germany, in the name of political control, which have overtaken the numbers even of traditionally totalitarian countries such as China and Russia – a truly dystopian nightmare for freedom of expression and personal liberty.

Throughout this decade and a half of change, MinecraftOnline has held steadfast to its libertarian principles, and remained an oasis of freedom and openness in an increasingly closed and controlled internet. That is, until now.

Microsoft, through their subsidiary Mojang, have issued an ultimatum to MinecraftOnline. We have been told to do away with our free speech policy (which long pre-dates Microsoft’s acquisition of Mojang), within 7 days, or face a a permanent block. If that happens, nobody will be able to play on MinecraftOnline again, and the 15-year history of this beloved server will come to a sudden and bitter end. The full email we have received today, signed facelessly only as “Mojang Enforcement”, is included below.

The email makes extremely vague claims about “harmful interactions” and “harmful comments”, and we are asking Microsoft to clarify what specific interactions and comments they consider harmful. In the meantime, please spread the word, share this info on social media. Defend free speech.

Hello everyone!

We are excited to announce the release of a new Events nexus! Event pads have been organized for easier access, along with a new lounge area!

As well, Delta City has been decorated for the spooky season once more! Prepare to fight Zompkins, use a nether star on a jack’o’lantern Zompkin to summon the Pumpking, and come face to face with Ḫ̸͚̝̔3̷͙̇̅̓r̶̥̿̌̈́0̷̨͎̳̈́b̵̘̥̍̓t̴͚̦̜̃1n3̢̛ !

Have fun!

Hello everyone!

In a few days on , we will be debuting a new minigame as part of the weekly events called **Build Off**!

In a twist on the traditional Build Competition, players will be given 30 minutes and a chest full of identical building materials in a 16×16 plot. The goal is to make the best build you can with the provided limitations, offering a true test of mettle for builders in a fun and fair way. There’s no pre-planning, no movement commands, and no pallete advantages!

If all goes well, future Build Off! games will focus on different biomes and palletes to create variety and test the versatility of our players.

PvP will also be disabled in the build zone.

Hope to see you there!
