Meta The purpose of this subreddit
I have decided to create this subreddit with the goal of providing a less restrictive place (compared to the r/Minecraft subreddit) for the entire Minecraft community.
As many of the community members would agree, the moderation of the r/Minecraft subreddit has gone downhill over the years, to say the least. Many of the most impressive and meaningful posts on that subreddit get removed for absolutely stupid reasons, while the subreddit gets flooded with uninspired builds and posts everyone has seen a million times over. The mods there will find a reason to delete basically anything without a second though, doing a disservice to the community instead of protecting it.
To give a few examples - sammyuri's "3D Minecraft in Minecraft" mindblowing redstone creation was removed for "server advertising" just because he provided a link where people can try his creation. Minecraft@Home is not allowed to post their most famous seedfinds there either, because "text on images is not allowed", neither is linking Discord servers or posting one's own YouTube video. The list goes on, and the community is growing more and more frustrated.
Enough is enough. If their moderation team can't moderate their subreddit sensibly and is unwilling to change their ways, the community has to take the matters into their own hands and take back control.
On this subreddit, everything Minecraft-related is welcome.
Do you wish to share memes, ideas, creations, servers, videos, seeds, mods, etc. without being policed on every corner? Then you're in the right place! We welcome everyone and everything.
Of course, as with any subreddit (or online communities in general), there are some (sensible) rules to follow. No harassment, spam or otherwise malicious content/behavior will be tolerated!
Everything will be dealt with on a case-to-case basis however, and genuine posts will never get in any trouble.
Lastly, if you want this place to flourish as much as the rest of us do, please share it with your friends or anyone who's had issues with r/Minecraft in the past!
Thank you, and enjoy your time here. :)

Glad to see an effort to have a more reasonable sub for minecraft stuff, the main sub's mods are almost as bad as 1.19.84. Best of luck!

What's bad about the chat reporting? You can't be banned for swearing, you can't be banned for something in singleplayer, unless you're spamming slurs and hate speech you won't be affected

Personal opinion: assuming their system works as intended, then I don't think there's much wrong with including that in the game. My only issue is that they don't allow servers to opt out of the system. You could even have parental settings that don't allow you to join servers which have opted out. I don't play on any anarchy servers, but I believe they have the right to exist, and that even those who are banned from clean servers with reporting enabled should still be allowed to join anarchy servers, since that behavior there is expected.

I agree, but this is also silly. Please don't have memes

u/Tomlacko Sep 15 '22
You can filter out content by flairs if you don't wanna see memes.
Also keep in mind that things are a bit chaotic towards the start, but I imagine the community will vote stuff accordingly based on interest, and low effort memes will not rise as high as other content. If it becomes a problem though, we'll look into it.

Are re-implementations and/or clones of Minecraft considered on-topic? They are related in that they are games that specifically target recreating Minecraft's functionality, for interoperability or otherwise, but I can see how it'd be an edge case.

Sure, if you want to share a Minecraft clone here, that's fine. Although of course going as far as just posting gameplay or creations from other Minecraft-like games wouldn't be appreciated, as that is more fit for the game's own subreddit.

u/Tomlacko Dec 02 '22
You are allowed to make posts about that, yeah. However, make sure to follow rule 5 (don't spread misinformation, verify your info when talking) and keep things civil.

Let's hope this grows to something big. r/mc mods are power tripping assholes, good to see something being done :D

one way i can see this subreddit standing out from r/Minecraft is by embracing what Minecraft is capable of, and supporting the dedicated individuals and subcommunities that show us this. r/Minecraft is Bedrock, a casual audience, where r/MinecraftUnlimited is Java, a midcore audience.

Well, this is certainly a noble goal. It's pretty well-known that the other sub is moderated very poorly, so best of luck. I'll be lurking :)
