15 years later, infamous Minecraft anarchy servers strengthen chat moderation at the reported request of Mojang itself

Mojang, the studio behind Minecraft, appears to be clamping down on the blocky builder's notorious anarchy servers, forcing them to comply with current moderation standards. These spaces, known for having lax enforcement on chat and in-game activities, now have noticeably higher standards for both, prompting pushback from their regular players. Minecraft anarchy servers are, as their name implies, places where chaos reigns. They're sandboxes with as little oversight as possible, using outdated terms of service, which makes them quite popular. That was until December of last year, when the rules in one of the biggest, 2b2t (2builders2tools), became much tighter. Previously, the terms section of 2b2t only explicitly banned spamming chat and real-life harassment and bullying. There were no prohibitive measures against hate speech or the proliferation of hateful messages or symbols; this was apparently changed at Mojang’s request at the end of 2025, according to an update from the server team. Now that Skyrim Grandma's retired, you can occupy your time watching this Minecraft Grandma who yells "die, die, die" at every zombie and skeleton in the game Minecraft is a testament to player creativity above all else – and 16 years later, no other game comes close An 81-year-old grandma has been streaming Minecraft to pay for her grandson's cancer treatment - he's now "cancer free" "Do not create builds, structures, or any other content relating to harmful ideas, hateful symbols, or hateful speech," says the terms page now. This comes in tandem with chat filters for explicit language and potentially abusive terms, and gameplay parameters for the same that prevent them being written on signposts and such. There's also an additional requirement to adhere to Minecraft's and Xbox's current terms and conditions to participate. It should be noted that agreeing to these is part of setting up an account on the long-running building playground. A similar crackdown on MinecraftOnline, the oldest public Minecraft server, in November, served as a harbinger for this. According to an email shared on the UncensoredMinecraft subreddit in late October 2025, Mohang's enforcement team reached out to MinecraftOnline and told the moderators to begin overseeing chat and in-game behavior, and disciplining those who refuse to adhere to these requirements. "Harmful comments" were disallowed, and failure to follow these consistently could result in the server being blocked. It seemed likely 2b2t might be among the next targets, and here we are. This particular corner of Minecraft already has a questionable reputation, to put it mildly, which probably had it on Mojang's radar to some extent. In a conspicuous turn of events, 2b2t's new rules came in after the server began allowing Bedrock Edition players in. As this is the console version, it'll have increased the potential user base dramatically, with a lot more younger fans likely in tow. Doing this may have pushed Mojang to examine the server more thoroughly. Regardless, the days of Minecraft anarchy might be numbered, at least on such a large scale.
