The reason cracked servers are so popular in not English speaking countries is just because Mojang isnt adjusting their prices to the region, so in a lot of places Minecraft is just not worth the price.
minecraft isn't even really worth it when they made it all bedrock edition bedrock edition sucks and they are forcing people to convert from java if you own minecraft on console you have to download mods on your phone just to play on a server that isn't owned by mojang. which i must say the mojang servers are unplayable. when you have every single player who bought the game have to pick between 10 or less servers that already have all the chunks claimed, or is so basic that you just need a tnt with a button to shoot tnt into someones base to get into it. that lags to the point you can't move, you can't claim land. you can't do anything.
@@blackoutgstar9949you are ranting about a version of Minecraft that is much harder to pirate, apart from the pocket edition. This doesn't apply to Java, nor does cracking solve these issues in Bedrock
@@blackoutgstar9949 as a person who used to play cracked minecraft before i finally bought it i can confirm that none of minecraft's version is hard to pirate(except china edition ofcourse)
Honestly, I don't blame anybody who plays on these. Playing on servers was part of my childhood, and I wouldn't want to starve anyone of that experience
Twink accounts isn't a mistranslation, in europe over many years twink has been used as a term for alt, or specialized, for example in WoW twinking is the practice of making a character levelling them to a certain level and then stopping there and gearing them with the best gear for that level, this is pretty common with lvl 19 twinked rogues for examples. But it is funny in a modern context-
In this context it's more to mean alt accounts that you're feeding items as opposed to the WoW or Dark Souls version. The term is even used in Borderlands 2 when Claptrap describes the stash "It's just for twinking items between characters." Makes sense they'd be banning it since it's a massive problem in player driven economies.
As someone from a non-English speaking community (*cough* Romania) I was dirt poor and had no other way to play Minecraft rather by these cracked servers. Gamster was actually a big part of my teenagehood. As an adult I have now moved on from it and finally acquired a legitimate version of Minecraft. A change I will never revert, honestly. But still having to admit that Gamster opened my head regarding Minecraft multiplayer as a whole.
7:22 "bathhouse" is a mistranslation of "ban", which happened to be in prepositional case. The word "баня" (banya, a form of sauna) has the same prepositional form.
10:50 Just wanna say that Russian "anarchy" game mode just generally isn't the same as the rest of the world. It's more like factions servers with possibility to grief others' bases with all means possible, *but* breaking/placing blocks by hand. The game mode likely got popularized before the "total anarchy" popularity boom, hence the confusion. Either way, as always, awesome video.
anarchy servers suck the servers get such low tps you can't move. they also don't want anyone else to join and will actively chase new players away with their kits they duped 1000s of times while lowering the tps to an unplayable amount.... the only perk is you get to see the "history" of the server which people blew up with their stacks upon stacks of duped tnt. 2b2t was fun when it had history, they ruined all the history now it's just a server you go lag and hack on
@@saiv46 i have never seen a cracked server get blocked i ran one server and even when i had played on cracked and decided i wanted to buy the game... i stayed on the cracked servers no blocks. even through eula when they were going to ban every server that didn't comply. none got banned if you think joining some youtubers server that you actually have to have a rank to use most of the stuff is better then have fun paying hundreds or thousands of dollars just to compete on a server that the youtuber will just cheat and ruin your stuff for views after you paid hundreds of dollars if not thousands for a video. i've seen the videos of youtubers getting raided and they just world edit all the walls back when you're about to get in
As someone from Poland, I can confirm I've seen people download cracked launchers (mostly Crystal Launcher) and play on kokscraft during IT classes, in libraries, and probably a lot at home too. I don't blame anyone for doing this though: our economy isn't exactly the best, and even if you have the money - you have to go through many hoops to buy the game without using a payment card, which kids obviously don't have (and most of them don't want to risk getting into trouble by borrowing their parents' card). When I bought the game many years ago, before I had a bank account - my only option was paysafecard, and even that was a nuisance as at the time you couldn't even buy the game for actual Polish złoty, you absolutely had to pay in Euro. Kids here just don't have the money or if they do: don't want to bother going through so much just to get a legal license, when they'll probably join cracked servers likely sponsored by popular Polish RUclipsrs anyways.
I admit I discovered the game in the 1.1 days via cracked launchers too, and I didn't buy it until many, many years later, just because it was too out of reach. I did play on cracked servers in 2013/2014 which were still up and running when I checked on them in 2020, and I honestly kind of miss them. I don't feel safe joining them on my proper account though. One server in particular had a game mode named "annihilation", which (while obviously stolen, but I didn't know it at the time) felt unique and was genuinely fun, I don't remember which proper server had it, but someone can probably help me there. Four teams, four nexuses, five "phases" each lasting like 5 to 10 minutes. Phase 1 was indestructible nexuses, phase 2 you could start damaging them, phase 3 diamonds appeared on the map, phase 4 you get access to blaze powder from the brewing shop, phase 5 nexuses take double damage, you can respawn as long as your nexus is there, can't break naturally present blocks etc. I especially remember that one map that everyone always picked, with four castles in the corners.
one last thing you note: those servers, back in 2013 at least, were monetized using premium SMS-based purchases, which in some of the more unique modes (like Warriors vs Monsters, which was custom made on behalf of a RUclipsr sponsoring one of those servers) basically made it impossible for monsters to win if you had a couple paid2win players on the warrior team. it was scummy, way too scummy. One other server, it was named cube-something, forgot the latter word. It had a mode called Cave Wars, which was just SkyWars but in a "cave" (in reality it was just a single "//set" command to spam random relevant blocks everywhere), as janky as it was - it was still quite fun. If anyone knows if that was ripped off from somewhere - let me know.
I played something similar to annihilation on some random cracked server as well as a kid! Although as I remember there were only two teams rather than four, very fun times, I wish something similar was still up@@FrostedGeulleisia
Szczerze to ten jak i jego poprzedni filmik na ten temat brzmią po prostu trochę jak "Bogaty Australijski RUclipsr nie rozumie jak działają waluty i odkrywa, że biedni ludzie/biedne kraje istnieją" Jeżeli pojawi się kolejny taki filmik na kanale to mam nadzieję, że wspomni o tej różnicy w walutach i cenach, bo ok 30$ nie brzmi jakoś strasznie, ale 100zł już tak i niestety do tej pory dużo osób/dzieci nie może pozwolić sobie aby tak po prostu wydać tę sumę na konto w grze kiedy wszystko inne poszło o 100% w górę.

Hi there. As an ex-administrator of Fakepixel, I can assure you that they are doing everything legally (well, maybe except the sponsor ranks, which I agree that they are against the EULA). Yes, the server was run, and is run by Russian Staff, and was founded by a Russian Staff Member, which got excluded from the staff team, late october this year, and, especially after being the founder, I find this hilarious. I've been told that there was a few incidents before where a hypixel staff member found fakepixel and told the rest of the Hypixel Team about it, but since Fakepixel is custom coded and everything, Hypixel agreed to let us (well, them) run it. We had a few of Hypixel's staff members join our server and comment, including one of the administrators, which I will not name, but I remember we had a chat and, not gonna lie, it was really funny. Aside, I found this video entertaining, but I wish you do more research next time. PLSzymonGaming
Minecraft is so widely cracked in Poland that we refer to paid (legal) version as "Minecraft Premium". In other words, Minecraft is considered a "free" game. 💀
In some countries MC is worth more than the monthly their salaries. It's mostly in western society where they have enough money to spend 30$ on a game.
That true in my country indonesia it cost you around 400k rupiah which is alot for my country where you compared it to average monthly salary which is 3 million rupiah

The server you skipped, Cristalix, is just insane in terms of how modded the client is. It definitely raises the question of how legal it is to repackage the entire Minecraft client and lock out single player and other servers except for their own. And it sees crazy player counts as well, if I remember correctly somewhere of around 20,000. And it doesn't even use forge nor fabric for modding, they have a custom mod loader for that to avoid cheats. It also has P2W + gambling elements in it, though not as crazy as in some other servers Thanks for making this video and raising awareness of p2w servers, it's both enjoyable and useful!
90% of game piracy could be ended with adding regional prices. Most stuff is priced in USD and the price is the same all around the world. 20$ for an American can seem like a petty money, but for many countries and individuals in them it can be 4-10x times more expensive in comparison.
Most of these regions have regional prices on Steam. Piracy is still massive, it hardly makes any difference. People there just refuse to pay for it even if it costs them 10 cents. These regions will always stay poor with that kind of thinking, because it's not only about games, it's about every service/product, even the local ones. As long as it is somehow available for free, they would refuse to pay for it even if acquiring that thing costs them more money in time than the asking price. And for companies it hardly makes any business sense. "Popularity" does not translate to official merch sales in those countries. If the multiplayer is ran on their servers, it might end up in costing them money to offer regional pricing.
7:39 a twink account is a normal way to say an alt account in slavic languages, not even a mistranslation, although the expression likely originated from a mistranslation.
I just find confusing (as a non English speaking) the fact that a twink is synonym to blink, instead of twice, two. This seems illogical to me. Just discovered another unorthodox meaning of this word, now it makes sense
In regards to Pika and Jartex being very similar, this is due to the fact that both are owned and operated by the CraftiGames development team. They are sister servers in essence, and the CraftiGames owners have decided to give each of the servers their own niches that keep their player bases mostly separate, such as more relaxed rules on Jartex and modes geared towards older players, and stricter chat rules on Pika designed to make it a more welcoming place for younger players. As a long time staff member of Jartex, and a member of that community almost exclusively throughout my time playing Minecraft, I feel that the community fostered on the server is unique and wonderful in the same way many premium server's communities are, if not more so due to the amount of new young players from all over the world we bring in and interact with. I also want to note that when Jartex was blocked recently, our owners very quickly and effectively negotiated with Minecraft support, made the necessary changes to abide by the EULA, and got the server block lifted within a couple days. As a staff team, we also did not attempt to bypass the block in any way, and directives were given as soon as the block was issued not to share alternate ips with players but rather to let the owners negotiate it since we wished to cooperate fully.
guildcraft was by far the best no bs just playing the game pika sucks and jartex with their custom maps that was all hilly. you needed fly or you would have to spam tf out of the jump key
I think that to solve "problem" with warez/cracked minecraft servers (without impact minecraft community) will be to make prices same for everyone (based on their country). Because if some think the game is cheap, it doesn't mean it's cheap for everyone on earth.
Finnaly a human being with a great mind. Ive had the opportunity to get minecraft but if i did it would affect us too much money wise and time wise....There must be some ratio they can use to convert the usd price to other poorer countries to make it about the same cost
This is called localized pricing or something like that It was used on Steam but people abused VPNs to get the games at a cheaper price, so they changed it and now some games are way too expensive (at least in my country)
@@elfabrip ohh that makes sense but it must have some way to know your true locations other than wifi. But regardless companies wont bother to to give anyone their game for less
Twink accounts isn't a wrong translation, even in the west we used that term. Mainly applied to low level alts with insane gear in WoW to dominate PvP with.
you get banned on cracked servers if you have an alt on non-cracked they can't ban you because you paid for the alts alts are cheating. i know this because people would try to alt onto my team sure betraying is fine but faking a whole new persona with your only intent is to take out a group who is just better than you is not
Hello there TheMisterEpic, I’m Hammy, better known as LordHammy69 (Staff member of Fakepixel network). So as a member in the staff team of fakepixel, I can assure you that this is all totally legal, matter fact nothing in Fakepixel is total replica of actual hypixel. from skyblock - duels, nothing is using the same code as the real Hypixel. So for that reason, Fakepixel is NOT in any way is a ditto replica of Hypixel network, yes, I am aware that the gamemodes are absolutely copied but again, the codes are different. In Addition, majority of the player base is from India and it is only run by russian owners and developers. Best Regards, Hammy.
I'm in Turkey. And I played on the sonoyuncu server when I was kid. Usually kids play Minecraft and they do not have money to buy the game. The game is expensive in our country due to the exchange rate. Also, since there are no premium Turkish servers, even those who purchase the game have to play on cracked servers.
i used to be in the staff of a dutch cracked server, we usually sat around 100-200 players daily. untill one day the brazilians found us and we went from 100-200 to 900-1000 almost overnight.
Same thing in brasil, and most of the world. Games can be prohibitively expensive, and piracy is a big savior for lots of kids that just can't afford to pay for it
The reason almost all servers in Turkey are cracked is because one dollar is (as of right now) 29 TL. So basically any transactions that are made with outside currencies are just too expensive and costly to us. I have too played on cracked minecraft when i was younger but i was lucky to purchase minecraft before our currency lost more value so i don't play on those servers anymore even if they're not that bad.
I don't play Minecraft servers anymore but in bedrock I remember playing on servers with people talking in Turkish on chat and I was from the Philippines. I also saw some Russian speaking users there too. It was a 2b2t clone server
I stated this in the previous video of The MisterEpic but in summary, In Turkey, custom clients are a broadly known and accepted thing to sole purpose of prevent cheaters by disabling version selection and usage of modded clients. Both CraftRise and SonOyuncu clients are safe to use. Craftrise can be downloaded by international players because they have proper English website, guide, and client.
Great video! The way you say "genuine" really caught me off guard. I spat water all over my computer. My chips got soggy. My girlfriend called me later that day and told me that she didn't love me anymore and dumped me. But hey! The video was good :)
you're such a liar for attention you spat water on your computer........ and you store your chips in your computer? on your computer? maybe you spit on the keyboard. you did not spit on your computer
As someone from Brazil I can say, Minecraft is very expensive here and I only got my original version because I started working a full time job, it is insanity to expect 10yo kids (or their parents) to have that kind of money laying around to buy this game, so I understand the people playing in cracked versions, it is the only way, Mojang should adjust their prices based on region like Steam does
Damn, you have encountered even MushMC? What a madlad, i remember when this server needed to enter with an original account, now seems you can join with an cracked account too...
I'm sure pretty much every non-english speaking country has/had popular cracked servers. My first multiplayer experiences were on the Hungarian cracked MesterMC client. It's kinda dead now, times have truly passed. T-T
After romania I was kinda waiting for him to say hungary lol there was a big Minecraft community back in the day and alot of kids played the cracked version of MC!
That was the one that I couldn't play, because it didn't wanted to start on Linux. I played on LegendaryMC, and then on MineZone, when my friend discovered how to inject cheats to a custom client.
Playing on cracked server was my whole childhood, I don't blame those who play on these servers, I spent hours every day playing on these random servers for years. I actually just bought Minecraft when I was around 16. Ofc nowadays most parents don't have problems with online purchases and they're not scared of buying stuff on the Internet. But I'm sure a lot of children still have a similar experience I had in the past.
As for kokscraft, most of the players are cheaters or kids. I myself used to blatantly cheat there. The server is owned by SzymekPL, a big youtuber as for Polish standards. The problem with playing hypixel for everyone in Poland is 120 ping, so most players decide to play Polish servers. Because kokscraft is so big, it creates a snowball effect where more people play it, because it's popular, and not because it's the best.
I actually think that at least 40% of Minecraft's playerbase are cracked players, and that's a lot. Mojang and Microsoft can't afford to block servees like universocraft and loose a lot of players. Somehow pirating culture with Minecraft is different.
It's legit insane how many cracked serves exist the second you explore non English-speaking communities. I consider myself fortunate enough to have not discovered Minecraft through any cracked means, and the reality that so many people play cracked versions is mind-boggling o-O
Depending on where you live Minecraft costs way too much to be considered buy-able by people who don't have a proper job and work yet and to ask their parents for it. That's where piracy comes from most of the time. Not saying piracy is RIGHT, but sometimes it's the only way to experience some things when you want it waay too much.
When I was 11 to 14 thats essentially how I got into java Minecraft after coming from the 360. I can find some nostalgia out of cracked servers cause of it and its what pretty much lead me to buy the java version.
In my country, Minecraft is about 5-7x the price someone from the US or EU would pay for the game. It is understandable why we have so much piracy running rampant in here.
“Twink” accounts and “Twinking” is an old way to refer to Smurfing, where experienced players make a new account to mess around in lower ranks/levels. Similar to an alt but with a more specific meaning
Twink actually just means "creating a specified alt account". It can be surfing, just trying other random builds, or actually creating a "safehouse" for you if your main goes bad
@@BLET_55artem55 my bad, I guess it can have a lot of different meanings depending on the context. My knowledge mostly comes from Soulsborne pvp and FPSs, I guess in Minecraft it’s a bit different. Still not a translation error tho
12:07 about the "Custom Launcher" to enter a certain server, I remember a server here in Brazil called "Craftlandia", that required you to download a launcher to play in the server it was very good but sadly it was closed because of the minecraft EULA In the launcher you could choose if you wanted to play minigames or online surival you could even set skins and even get custom capes using cracked minecraft really good times, I miss those
I’m for some ungodly reason an active member (on the skywars leaderboard last time I checked) on jartex. I find the challenge of constant hackers made it much more fun
A Russian here. My cousin tells me to play the server called FunTime, which you included in this server. I played on it quite some time, one thing for sure, it is P2W. You either pay your parents' all wages for a rank, or you stay with horrible armor in which you cant fight properly. About Crystalix, it is a client server made by Demaster, which you also named in this video. It is a fun server without pay to win, having OWN gamemodes, as I haven't seen anybody else using some that they have. One of the modes is: Custom Steve Chaos, survive waves which get stronger each round gaining random gear after each wave, you can also buy stuff from money you earned by killing mobs in waves. There are also fights each wave, 2 random teams selected to fight eachother, whoever wins gets additional bonus money. You can also bet your life savings on whoever wins, if somebody who you bet on will win, you get x2 money, if he loses, you lose all your money you bet. You cant bet on your opponent or yourself. Before each round, there is a list of all classes in the game, which make you faster or stronger etc, and you get to choose which ones to remove for this game, then you get a random choose of 3 classes to use for the rest of the game.
As somone living in east Europe. Playing on Hypixel is impossible due to lags and ping. Hypixel is an server from USA and even with nasa computer and internet you will still have ping and lags issue
As someone from a non-englosh country (poland) i must say that for many of us the 'premium' version of minecraft was just simply not something our parents could afford just like that, I can't speak for everyone but from my experience NONE of my friends ever had the paid version of minecraft, we all used the cracked version and called it a day because that was what we could afford, and such servers such as the polish mineserwer, minefox, cubegame etc, were HUGE parts of our childhoods and still are for many people, paid minecraft just wasn't worth it with the salaries that are in poland and probably many other (eastern) countries
Before I officially bought Minecraft, I used to pirate Java and play on cracked servers. It was fun playing Bedwars and Survival. Fortunately, servers aren't strict on Bedrock. So it was easy to get a patched mobile version on the web or edit the store dll file on Windows. Funny thing is, they only added the "Invaild license" error after the Better Together Updates. So Bedrock was completely vulnerable for years without using a patcher
if microsoft ended cracked minecraft servers that would be a cut in the community, i don't know in other contrys but in brazil i grew up playing the cracked version and so did my friends and their friends, and so on, there was more people playing the cracked version than original, i just bought minecraft when i was 18 cause let me tell ya THAT SHIT WAS EXPENSIVE AF
Twink is the commonplace term for boosted alt-accounts in Russian. No idea why or how, but yeah if you're fighting someone (for example, in MMO) who's your level but whose gear is waaaay too strong for a normal player that level, that means you're fighting a twink.
Twink accounts isnt a mistranslation , its a common term especially used in mmorpg games where you call your low lvl pvp characters "Twinks" pretty much means its a for example lvl 29 in 20-29 battleground brackets on World of Warcraft fully decked out in gear with locked experience which makes you stronger than everyone else , basically just another term for a smurf , alt account
Yeah in Poland playing on cracked launchers and servers is BIG, but i get it since Minecraft isn't the cheapest in pln and i also used to do that to in the good ol' days lol
I am a russian dev that makes a lot of Minecraft-related stuff and We have a lot more of these illegal cracked servers, they're literally everywhere. The most terrible thing about this is that they're not only breaking the EULA, but sometimes even the law (taxes-related laws at most). In most cases the community is pretty toxic and almost every server tries to get as much money from players (mostly children) as possible: paid unbans isn't really the worst case here. Every competitive server (and especially "griefs", "anarchies") will offer the overpowered kits. Sometimes You can buy even "staff member" role and distinct ban / mute / kick permissions. 99 % of the software specially coded for these servers is actually a pretty bad code that was probably poorly written by some "studio" for lots of money. And You basically can't run any server without players that instantly will try to hack Your server. There is no word "copyright" here, If something exist then It will be leaked sooner or later just because someone can and have nothing to do. Of course Ru-Mine ("Russian language-speaking Minecraft" community segment) have cool servers with nice atmosphere, but they are exceptions rather than the rules. And yeah, there are pros and cons, so this comment only speaks about cons.
They need to ban Mineland. It's a russian server that stole all of its gamemodes from big and small servers alike, it's a cracked server that has a ton of pay to win offers, and they have taken concepts like allowing players to code their own minigmaes from diamondfire and rebranded it to look like it's their invention.
I was actually not thinking that brazil was going to be recognized on this video, but yea thats true, i think almost all my server playtime was in cracked servers, but with the economy that we have here, is actually a bit accetable(dont know how to write this word and i dont have a good english too)
Fun fact: before Mojang changed their system to Microsoft there was an entire market for stolen Minecraft accounts. One could set you as low as 50 cents and these were legit accounts, not banned on any major servers I tested. Now we, not so financially privileged are back to playing on shady cracked servers. It's great fun until you realize how flawed their anti-cheat system is!
a huge amount of people of those countries you mentioned do not have money to buy a legit MC account, it's a totally different reality than yours. honestly I dont see a problem with these cracked servers as long as people are having fun with it.
@@manachromeYT congratulations, you are one of the few people that live on a "intermediate" country that can afford the game, but that still doesnt mean everyone else is like you, actually, not even close. the world is way more cruel than you think it is.
As a non English speaking user coming from (Poland). Along with information from my other friends. Minecraft costs so much more in some countries, at some point buying the Premium version is useless. (Premium as in paid for) Honestly as a kid buying Minecraft was a NIGHTMARE, as a kid without bank account i had 2 options -Begging my mom -Stealing her credit card Sadly that was the reality, the funniest part was that a lot of Polish parents including my mom would NEVER EVER use her debit card on internet. I got lucky since she was exhausted from work and wanted to have it over with. Also often the prices seem cheap for Americans etc. In those servers, but for most kids it's just enough, most of the time it's CHEAPER THAN MINECRAFT ITSELF!!
Servers in certain countries wouldn't have players if they only allowed genuine players to join (players who bought the game). One of such prime example is Czech Republic (or Czechia) - local servers pretty much have to allow cracked players to join, otherwise our servers would struggle real hard. Remember, running the server isn't cheap, and many servers rely on players and their financial support. Most of the players are kids that don't really have money to buy the game, so they pirate it. Or, despite having motivation in form of a parent promising to "buy the game in exchange for good grades", the kid struggles in school, so no luck. And without the ability to buy it themselves, the only option is to pirate it. And yeah, most adults who play the game did actually pay for the game and have a genuine account. But realistically speaking, not many adults play on servers, most of us play single player worlds, or we play with friends on some private SMPs. Very few adults play on open servers. So majority of players that servers have are kids, which mostly play cracked. If every single cracked server was indefinitely blocked by Mojang, then servers in those certain countries would cease to exist. Altogether. No, it doesn't mean that only cracked servers would cease to exist, or that cracked servers would simply re-open as genuine only. Opening server as genuine only would simply mean you won't have players, so it's pointless to open one. And if the cracked servers are banned, it would mean running a server wouldn't be possible. Or more specifically, it wouldn't be economically viable.
Czechs have enough of money to pay for the game come on plus you guys are bunch of horrible pirates lets be honest here, not even saying that most of CZ servers you talk about are so behind the curve its not even funny but they love pay to win its just that owners of those servers are really not well educated and they dont invest anything back they just run servers to get money no matter the quallity.. horrible scene ...
7:20 Баня (banya). Pretty sure it more accurately translates to "sauna". But also, you can just call it a "banya" in English…we love translation software, always very accurate.
No. Even before sanctions cracked mc and these servers were popular, and similar servers are popular in other countries. Most of playerbase of these servers are kids who cannot afford Minecraft, but still want to play it.

In the CZ/SK (non-English speaking) everyone was using cracked, having bought Minecraft used to be a flex back in the day. We even had terms like "Warez or Warezák-Plural (Cracked Player)" and "Origo (Bought Minecraft player)." These days cracked over here died down significantly (To an extent). The ones who had cracked eventually bought Minecraft because they grew up and could afford the game now for real.
i played fakepixel for years before having the money too but minecraft and it was actually pretty pretty fun, i met a lot of communities and cooped with my friends all day long and im proud of it
As a RuHypixel moderator when i bought the mod rank i actually got invited and added to the team (im not joking) and 3 months later of consistent work i got the real mod rank so this is not fake. Please do more research next time

As someone who only just recently bought premium Minecraft out of pocket after playing it for 7+ years, when I wanted to start playing bedwars, skywars etc, playing on Jartex was a huge thing for me. And because it was somewhat accurate to Hypixel gamemodes (mainly bedwars and skywars) with (from my knowledge correct me if I'm wrong) some uniquely made maps just for Jartex. Now since I bought Minecraft, I haven't actually had time to play much, I only played Hypixel once, so I won't exactly be returning to Jartex. But I still have respect for it, even if it's against EULA, because it gave so much fun for many people. Yes there are the pay to win ranks and whatnot, but as a casual player, I never cared. Nor even the fact that they were copy pasted maps.
demaster is an owner of the Cristalix. It's the most popular minigames server in post-USSR. But for PVP, Vimeworld is the most popular 1.8.9 server. I don't even know about servers shown in the video but I play on Vimeworld even I have a license minecraft, just because Hypixel is not so popular and almost everyone I have met played on Vimeworld at least one time
Im pretty sure mojang cant ban those. At least for non-official clients. They only have 2 ways of banning a server: having a blacklist sent to all clients or disallowing server to authorize people in online mode. Such servers are running in offline modes (so second option wont work), and spoiler: thats what they actually use. So when online set to false, they just completely lose control over it
Probably too young to know but this is a twink: Twink (WoW) - A low-level character made more powerful by higher-level characters, usually through gifts of armor and weapons that the character would not normally have at such low level. Also used as a verb to describe the act of giving low-level characters powerful items uncommon at their level.
I've never heard of the term twink account. Looking through the comments it sounds like an actual term, but I've always heard it as smurf accounts in the same use case
It depends, many games use the words twinking or etc in games such as WoW or PVP in the souls franchise. Basically, gearing yourself in worse gear to fight newer players
i can assure you in the german speaking minecraft community, we use alt account like the english speaking community. i think the reason that other communities use these rather exotic terms is that german communites are way more into the english stuff since we have learn english in school more thorough than in other european countries. besides that and what ive seen on social media way more people travel in our countries than the other european countries.
They are very different terms. A twink account is an account that puts in no effort themselves and just gets high-level gear from stronger players. A smurf is someone who keeps themselves purposely low-ranked to get easy kills on less skilled players.
@@DrDoompenguin Not necessarily. Back when I played Blade and Soul regularly I had 2 primary characters, and a smurf character that doesn't fit either of those definitions. It was one that I hopped on from time to time to do pvp and boss raids with people who were highly skilled, and often times the mvp. In all cases it's still technically just an alt account, i'm just surprised that twink is a term used like this.
@@kinetic6637 A mobile game I play regularly, Summoner's War, as a huge problem with this. We just call them toxic farmers (they're all top ranking players, championship contenders/winners purposefully dropping ranks to the equivalent of beginner to "just starting to get the hang of pvp" for easy wins) or bots lol
I hate the fact that both of the largest Hungarian Minecraft servers both need custom launchers to join, not to mention that one of them allegedly has spyware built into the launcher (there is proof, but the server management refuses to comment on it).
I would say, as someone from Indonesia, minecraft will cost you 3 weeks worth of food and water, it’s not something I can just grab a spare change on to buy. So these cracked minecraft and server has filled my childhood, I finally managed to get a legitimate copy of Minecraft after saving up, but if Minecraft were to be harsh and strict about piracy, I wouldn’t have buy Minecraft today.
Turkish player here. Let me explain the Sonoyuncu and Craftrise. Pirating games was always been a reality in Turkey, espeacially till 2017. This is why most of the minecraft servers here allows cracked users to join since they are most of their playerbase. Other than that, last time i played in those servers there wasnt any stolen content/map/hub there. But i don't know the current situation.
btw, if you see that server has 5000 players online, it's often is not true. Some servers have plugins to show fake online numbers, for example there could be only 200 players on a server, but plugin multiplies that number by 10, and you see 2000. Cracked servers started doing it long time ago, because new players are more likely to join a server with bigger playerbase.
Also sidenote, if you see a big unusual spike in player count stats, it sometimes could be due to bot attack (i had to write this comment here cuz I can't edit messages on mobile 😡)
I remember when I was little, I paid like +$100 to a server for a rank, just to get banned shortly after, and never seeing the server or my money again. I don't remember the server's name because it's so long ago, but I remember it had +1000 people online all time, making it such a huge scam, as I'm sure plenty of people were scammed daily now that I think and look back at it! I wish I knew and could remember the name of that server, because if it's still running today, who knows how many people/children it has scammed?
"twink" is a term used in WoW for an alt that you lock to a lower level but grind to get the Best in Slot items so you could beat the people who were leveling through PvP battlegrounds.
i dont really care that people play cracked copies of the game or even run cracked servers, pirating the game is how i got into it as it was what Notch said to do if you wanted to try it before buying it. also i understand that some people's families just don't have disposable income, so cracked versions of the game might be some kid's actual only way to play it. monetizing one of these servers on the other hand is a bit egregious tho, especially considering so much of their back ends are just outright stolen. great videos lately, really enjoy the deep dives into lesser talked about mc topics
i started playing minecraft online with cracked and when i bought the game i preferred the same cracked server not trying to pay some hundreds or a thousand dollars to compete because everyone else can fly and has special enchants they paid for. that even if you had the same gear it won't work because you haven't bought the top rank for some 500+ USD.
We also have big servers like this in the Hungarian Minecraft community, currently the biggest to my knowledge is FyreMC with around 1000-1200 players daily I think.

The reason cracked servers are so popular in not English speaking countries is just because Mojang isnt adjusting their prices to the region, so in a lot of places Minecraft is just not worth the price.
minecraft isn't even really worth it when they made it all bedrock edition
bedrock edition sucks and they are forcing people to convert from java
if you own minecraft on console you have to download mods on your phone just to play on a server that isn't owned by mojang.
which i must say the mojang servers are unplayable.
when you have every single player who bought the game have to pick between 10 or less servers that already have all the chunks claimed, or is so basic that you just need a tnt with a button to shoot tnt into someones base to get into it. that lags to the point you can't move, you can't claim land. you can't do anything.

Twink accounts isn't a mistranslation, in europe over many years twink has been used as a term for alt, or specialized, for example in WoW twinking is the practice of making a character levelling them to a certain level and then stopping there and gearing them with the best gear for that level, this is pretty common with lvl 19 twinked rogues for examples. But it is funny in a modern context-
In this context it's more to mean alt accounts that you're feeding items as opposed to the WoW or Dark Souls version. The term is even used in Borderlands 2 when Claptrap describes the stash "It's just for twinking items between characters." Makes sense they'd be banning it since it's a massive problem in player driven economies.
Twink accounts are players who use Alex base
isnt that just smurfing?
the twinks are taking over the world

As someone from a non-English speaking community (*cough* Romania) I was dirt poor and had no other way to play Minecraft rather by these cracked servers.

But still having to admit that Gamster opened my head regarding Minecraft multiplayer as a whole.

Just wanna say that Russian "anarchy" game mode just generally isn't the same as the rest of the world. It's more like factions servers with possibility to grief others' bases with all means possible, *but* breaking/placing blocks by hand. The game mode likely got popularized before the "total anarchy" popularity boom, hence the confusion.
Either way, as always, awesome video.
anarchy servers suck
the servers get such low tps you can't move. they also don't want anyone else to join and will actively chase new players away with their kits they duped 1000s of times while lowering the tps to an unplayable amount....
the only perk is you get to see the "history" of the server which people blew up with their stacks upon stacks of duped tnt. 2b2t was fun when it had history, they ruined all the history now it's just a server you go lag and hack on

As someone from Poland, I can confirm I've seen people download cracked launchers (mostly Crystal Launcher) and play on kokscraft during IT classes, in libraries, and probably a lot at home too. I don't blame anyone for doing this though: our economy isn't exactly the best, and even if you have the money - you have to go through many hoops to buy the game without using a payment card, which kids obviously don't have (and most of them don't want to risk getting into trouble by borrowing their parents' card). When I bought the game many years ago, before I had a bank account - my only option was paysafecard, and even that was a nuisance as at the time you couldn't even buy the game for actual Polish złoty, you absolutely had to pay in Euro. Kids here just don't have the money or if they do: don't want to bother going through so much just to get a legal license, when they'll probably join cracked servers likely sponsored by popular Polish RUclipsrs anyways.
I admit I discovered the game in the 1.1 days via cracked launchers too, and I didn't buy it until many, many years later, just because it was too out of reach. I did play on cracked servers in 2013/2014 which were still up and running when I checked on them in 2020, and I honestly kind of miss them. I don't feel safe joining them on my proper account though.
One server in particular had a game mode named "annihilation", which (while obviously stolen, but I didn't know it at the time) felt unique and was genuinely fun, I don't remember which proper server had it, but someone can probably help me there.
Four teams, four nexuses, five "phases" each lasting like 5 to 10 minutes. Phase 1 was indestructible nexuses, phase 2 you could start damaging them, phase 3 diamonds appeared on the map, phase 4 you get access to blaze powder from the brewing shop, phase 5 nexuses take double damage, you can respawn as long as your nexus is there, can't break naturally present blocks etc. I especially remember that one map that everyone always picked, with four castles in the corners.
one last thing you note: those servers, back in 2013 at least, were monetized using premium SMS-based purchases, which in some of the more unique modes (like Warriors vs Monsters, which was custom made on behalf of a RUclipsr sponsoring one of those servers) basically made it impossible for monsters to win if you had a couple paid2win players on the warrior team. it was scummy, way too scummy.
One other server, it was named cube-something, forgot the latter word. It had a mode called Cave Wars, which was just SkyWars but in a "cave" (in reality it was just a single "//set" command to spam random relevant blocks everywhere), as janky as it was - it was still quite fun. If anyone knows if that was ripped off from somewhere - let me know.
I played something similar to annihilation on some random cracked server as well as a kid! Although as I remember there were only two teams rather than four, very fun times, I wish something similar was still up@@FrostedGeulleisia

Comment to Content Creator Mr.Epic:
Basically, not every country has Minecraft as cheap affordable good. It's a good chunk of income money that in most cases between jobs that pay little in home country, goods that require USD naturally being more expensive etc. some people saw, at least in 2010s, even a half-working PC as a luxury, possibly even today.
Not everyone is lucky to be born in US/AUS/W.Europe/UK(though the last country miiiight be jumping the shark) that they can buy Minecraft for pocket money. And you should probably be putting an annotation with country and cost of Minecraft in native currency. That should be enough.
Hi there.
As an ex-administrator of Fakepixel, I can assure you that they are doing everything legally (well, maybe except the sponsor ranks, which I agree that they are against the EULA).
Yes, the server was run, and is run by Russian Staff, and was founded by a Russian Staff Member, which got excluded from the staff team, late october this year, and, especially after being the founder, I find this hilarious.
I've been told that there was a few incidents before where a hypixel staff member found fakepixel and told the rest of the Hypixel Team about it, but since Fakepixel is custom coded and everything, Hypixel agreed to let us (well, them) run it. We had a few of Hypixel's staff members join our server and comment, including one of the administrators, which I will not name, but I remember we had a chat and, not gonna lie, it was really funny.
Aside, I found this video entertaining, but I wish you do more research next time.

The server you skipped, Cristalix, is just insane in terms of how modded the client is. It definitely raises the question of how legal it is to repackage the entire Minecraft client and lock out single player and other servers except for their own. And it sees crazy player counts as well, if I remember correctly somewhere of around 20,000. And it doesn't even use forge nor fabric for modding, they have a custom mod loader for that to avoid cheats. It also has P2W + gambling elements in it, though not as crazy as in some other servers
Thanks for making this video and raising awareness of p2w servers, it's both enjoyable and useful!
90% of game piracy could be ended with adding regional prices. Most stuff is priced in USD and the price is the same all around the world. 20$ for an American can seem like a petty money, but for many countries and individuals in them it can be 4-10x times more expensive in comparison.
Agree, 10k rubles gaming isn't fun at all (still 100US$, but it's actually ≈0,4 average salary for just a PS 5 game💀)
Most of these regions have regional prices on Steam. Piracy is still massive, it hardly makes any difference. People there just refuse to pay for it even if it costs them 10 cents. These regions will always stay poor with that kind of thinking, because it's not only about games, it's about every service/product, even the local ones. As long as it is somehow available for free, they would refuse to pay for it even if acquiring that thing costs them more money in time than the asking price.
And for companies it hardly makes any business sense. "Popularity" does not translate to official merch sales in those countries. If the multiplayer is ran on their servers, it might end up in costing them money to offer regional pricing.

Just discovered another unorthodox meaning of this word, now it makes sense
In regards to Pika and Jartex being very similar, this is due to the fact that both are owned and operated by the CraftiGames development team. They are sister servers in essence, and the CraftiGames owners have decided to give each of the servers their own niches that keep their player bases mostly separate, such as more relaxed rules on Jartex and modes geared towards older players, and stricter chat rules on Pika designed to make it a more welcoming place for younger players. As a long time staff member of Jartex, and a member of that community almost exclusively throughout my time playing Minecraft, I feel that the community fostered on the server is unique and wonderful in the same way many premium server's communities are, if not more so due to the amount of new young players from all over the world we bring in and interact with. I also want to note that when Jartex was blocked recently, our owners very quickly and effectively negotiated with Minecraft support, made the necessary changes to abide by the EULA, and got the server block lifted within a couple days. As a staff team, we also did not attempt to bypass the block in any way, and directives were given as soon as the block was issued not to share alternate ips with players but rather to let the owners negotiate it since we wished to cooperate fully.
What a joke. What a joke. Sounds like Jartex is trying to save their face.

Hello there TheMisterEpic,
I’m Hammy, better known as LordHammy69 (Staff member of Fakepixel network). So as a member in the staff team of fakepixel, I can assure you that this is all totally legal, matter fact nothing in Fakepixel is total replica of actual hypixel. from skyblock - duels, nothing is using the same code as the real Hypixel. So for that reason, Fakepixel is NOT in any way is a ditto replica of Hypixel network, yes, I am aware that the gamemodes are absolutely copied but again, the codes are different. In Addition, majority of the player base is from India and it is only run by russian owners and developers.

Hey, do Fakepixel actually pay taxes?
In Poland there are SO MANY cracked servers that I thought its actually legal.
I'm in Turkey. And I played on the sonoyuncu server when I was kid.
Usually kids play Minecraft and they do not have money to buy the game. The game is expensive in our country due to the exchange rate. Also, since there are no premium Turkish servers, even those who purchase the game have to play on cracked servers.
i used to be in the staff of a dutch cracked server, we usually sat around 100-200 players daily. untill one day the brazilians found us and we went from 100-200 to 900-1000 almost overnight.
Dang Brazilians. XD

In Poland the cracked accounts are called non-premium and half the kids playing have cracked accounts
Same thing in brasil, and most of the world. Games can be prohibitively expensive, and piracy is a big savior for lots of kids that just can't afford to pay for it
The reason almost all servers in Turkey are cracked is because one dollar is (as of right now) 29 TL. So basically any transactions that are made with outside currencies are just too expensive and costly to us. I have too played on cracked minecraft when i was younger but i was lucky to purchase minecraft before our currency lost more value so i don't play on those servers anymore even if they're not that bad.
In Russia, the same. 1 dollar - 90₽, minecraft cost us 2700-3000₽ and we can't buy minecraft officially.
I don't play Minecraft servers anymore but in bedrock I remember playing on servers with people talking in Turkish on chat and I was from the Philippines. I also saw some Russian speaking users there too. It was a 2b2t clone server
I stated this in the previous video of The MisterEpic but in summary, In Turkey, custom clients are a broadly known and accepted thing to sole purpose of prevent cheaters by disabling version selection and usage of modded clients. Both CraftRise and SonOyuncu clients are safe to use. Craftrise can be downloaded by international players because they have proper English website, guide, and client.

As someone from Brazil I can say, Minecraft is very expensive here and I only got my original version because I started working a full time job, it is insanity to expect 10yo kids (or their parents) to have that kind of money laying around to buy this game, so I understand the people playing in cracked versions, it is the only way, Mojang should adjust their prices based on region like Steam does

It's kinda dead now, times have truly passed. T-T
Most a FyreMC van viszonylag felkapva. De szerintem senki sem fogja elfelejteni a MesterMC-t
After romania I was kinda waiting for him to say hungary lol there was a big Minecraft community back in the day and alot of kids played the cracked version of MC!
oh yeah, it was a good server but after MineZone and FyreMC took off, it died completely (FyreMC also allegedly has spyware in the launcher)
That was the one that I couldn't play, because it didn't wanted to start on Linux. I played on LegendaryMC, and then on MineZone, when my friend discovered how to inject cheats to a custom client.
Playing on cracked server was my whole childhood, I don't blame those who play on these servers, I spent hours every day playing on these random servers for years. I actually just bought Minecraft when I was around 16. Ofc nowadays most parents don't have problems with online purchases and they're not scared of buying stuff on the Internet. But I'm sure a lot of children still have a similar experience I had in the past.
In my country cracked mc is normalized so much that we just call it "no premium" and legit mc "premium"
As for kokscraft, most of the players are cheaters or kids. I myself used to blatantly cheat there. The server is owned by SzymekPL, a big youtuber as for Polish standards. The problem with playing hypixel for everyone in Poland is 120 ping, so most players decide to play Polish servers. Because kokscraft is so big, it creates a snowball effect where more people play it, because it's popular, and not because it's the best.
I actually think that at least 40% of Minecraft's playerbase are cracked players, and that's a lot. Mojang and Microsoft can't afford to block servees like universocraft and loose a lot of players. Somehow pirating culture with Minecraft is different.
Iirc, Notch encouraged pirating if you couldn't afford it...
Actually, not taking actions against pirating makes the game more accesible to a lot of players, which builds the playerbase more
It's legit insane how many cracked serves exist the second you explore non English-speaking communities. I consider myself fortunate enough to have not discovered Minecraft through any cracked means, and the reality that so many people play cracked versions is mind-boggling o-O
Depending on where you live Minecraft costs way too much to be considered buy-able by people who don't have a proper job and work yet and to ask their parents for it. That's where piracy comes from most of the time. Not saying piracy is RIGHT, but sometimes it's the only way to experience some things when you want it waay too much.
When I was 11 to 14 thats essentially how I got into java Minecraft after coming from the 360. I can find some nostalgia out of cracked servers cause of it and its what pretty much lead me to buy the java version.
In my country, Minecraft is about 5-7x the price someone from the US or EU would pay for the game. It is understandable why we have so much piracy running rampant in here.
@@nemesissombriain my country minecraft cost 20 meals... Which for a student like me is almost 3 week worth of allowance. Definite not buyable
For many of those kids, piracy is the only way to play Minecraft.
“Twink” accounts and “Twinking” is an old way to refer to Smurfing, where experienced players make a new account to mess around in lower ranks/levels. Similar to an alt but with a more specific meaning
😏
Twink actually just means "creating a specified alt account". It can be surfing, just trying other random builds, or actually creating a "safehouse" for you if your main goes bad
@@BLET_55artem55 my bad, I guess it can have a lot of different meanings depending on the context. My knowledge mostly comes from Soulsborne pvp and FPSs, I guess in Minecraft it’s a bit different. Still not a translation error tho

about the "Custom Launcher" to enter a certain server, I remember a server here in Brazil called "Craftlandia", that required you to download a launcher to play in the server
it was very good but sadly it was closed because of the minecraft EULA
In the launcher you could choose if you wanted to play minigames or online surival
you could even set skins and even get custom capes using cracked minecraft
really good times, I miss those
I’m for some ungodly reason an active member (on the skywars leaderboard last time I checked) on jartex. I find the challenge of constant hackers made it much more fun
A Russian here. My cousin tells me to play the server called FunTime, which you included in this server. I played on it quite some time, one thing for sure, it is P2W. You either pay your parents' all wages for a rank, or you stay with horrible armor in which you cant fight properly.
About Crystalix, it is a client server made by Demaster, which you also named in this video. It is a fun server without pay to win, having OWN gamemodes, as I haven't seen anybody else using some that they have.
One of the modes is: Custom Steve Chaos, survive waves which get stronger each round gaining random gear after each wave, you can also buy stuff from money you earned by killing mobs in waves.
There are also fights each wave, 2 random teams selected to fight eachother, whoever wins gets additional bonus money.
You can also bet your life savings on whoever wins, if somebody who you bet on will win, you get x2 money, if he loses, you lose all your money you bet. You cant bet on your opponent or yourself.
Before each round, there is a list of all classes in the game, which make you faster or stronger etc, and you get to choose which ones to remove for this game, then you get a random choose of 3 classes to use for the rest of the game.
As somone living in east Europe. Playing on Hypixel is impossible due to lags and ping. Hypixel is an server from USA and even with nasa computer and internet you will still have ping and lags issue
I hope next videos will be about modded servers with custom launchers. I think they can be interesting to explore too.
As someone from a non-englosh country (poland) i must say that for many of us the 'premium' version of minecraft was just simply not something our parents could afford just like that, I can't speak for everyone but from my experience NONE of my friends ever had the paid version of minecraft, we all used the cracked version and called it a day because that was what we could afford, and such servers such as the polish mineserwer, minefox, cubegame etc, were HUGE parts of our childhoods and still are for many people, paid minecraft just wasn't worth it with the salaries that are in poland and probably many other (eastern) countries
Before I officially bought Minecraft, I used to pirate Java and play on cracked servers. It was fun playing Bedwars and Survival. Fortunately, servers aren't strict on Bedrock. So it was easy to get a patched mobile version on the web or edit the store dll file on Windows.
Funny thing is, they only added the "Invaild license" error after the Better Together Updates. So Bedrock was completely vulnerable for years without using a patcher
if microsoft ended cracked minecraft servers that would be a cut in the community, i don't know in other contrys but in brazil i grew up playing the cracked version and so did my friends and their friends, and so on, there was more people playing the cracked version than original, i just bought minecraft when i was 18 cause let me tell ya THAT SHIT WAS EXPENSIVE AF

Twink is the commonplace term for boosted alt-accounts in Russian. No idea why or how, but yeah if you're fighting someone (for example, in MMO) who's your level but whose gear is waaaay too strong for a normal player that level, that means you're fighting a twink.

Twink accounts isnt a mistranslation , its a common term especially used in mmorpg games where you call your low lvl pvp characters "Twinks" pretty much means its a for example lvl 29 in 20-29 battleground brackets on World of Warcraft fully decked out in gear with locked experience which makes you stronger than everyone else , basically just another term for a smurf , alt account
Yeah in Poland playing on cracked launchers and servers is BIG, but i get it since Minecraft isn't the cheapest in pln and i also used to do that to in the good ol' days lol
I am a russian dev that makes a lot of Minecraft-related stuff and We have a lot more of these illegal cracked servers, they're literally everywhere. The most terrible thing about this is that they're not only breaking the EULA, but sometimes even the law (taxes-related laws at most). In most cases the community is pretty toxic and almost every server tries to get as much money from players (mostly children) as possible: paid unbans isn't really the worst case here.
Every competitive server (and especially "griefs", "anarchies") will offer the overpowered kits. Sometimes You can buy even "staff member" role and distinct ban / mute / kick permissions.
99 % of the software specially coded for these servers is actually a pretty bad code that was probably poorly written by some "studio" for lots of money. And You basically can't run any server without players that instantly will try to hack Your server.
There is no word "copyright" here, If something exist then It will be leaked sooner or later just because someone can and have nothing to do.
Of course Ru-Mine ("Russian language-speaking Minecraft" community segment) have cool servers with nice atmosphere, but they are exceptions rather than the rules. And yeah, there are pros and cons, so this comment only speaks about cons.
They need to ban Mineland. It's a russian server that stole all of its gamemodes from big and small servers alike, it's a cracked server that has a ton of pay to win offers, and they have taken concepts like allowing players to code their own minigmaes from diamondfire and rebranded it to look like it's their invention.
Fr, this server has 0 actual mods
It's crazy but also nice to see that some of these cracked servers still have games that have otherwise been phased out
I was actually not thinking that brazil was going to be recognized on this video, but yea thats true, i think almost all my server playtime was in cracked servers, but with the economy that we have here, is actually a bit accetable(dont know how to write this word and i dont have a good english too)
Considering that minecraft can cost as much as a dish in a 5 star restaurant in some countries, it wasn’t a surprise that people became pirates.

11:33 actually you can join teslacraft using regular 1.12.2 client. Their client is not a mandatory.
Fun fact: before Mojang changed their system to Microsoft there was an entire market for stolen Minecraft accounts. One could set you as low as 50 cents and these were legit accounts, not banned on any major servers I tested. Now we, not so financially privileged are back to playing on shady cracked servers. It's great fun until you realize how flawed their anti-cheat system is!
a huge amount of people of those countries you mentioned do not have money to buy a legit MC account, it's a totally different reality than yours. honestly I dont see a problem with these cracked servers as long as people are having fun with it.

As a non English speaking user coming from (Poland). Along with information from my other friends.
Minecraft costs so much more in some countries, at some point buying the Premium version is useless. (Premium as in paid for)
Honestly as a kid buying Minecraft was a NIGHTMARE, as a kid without bank account i had 2 options
-Begging my mom
-Stealing her credit card
Sadly that was the reality, the funniest part was that a lot of Polish parents including my mom would NEVER EVER use her debit card on internet. I got lucky since she was exhausted from work and wanted to have it over with.
Also often the prices seem cheap for Americans etc. In those servers, but for most kids it's just enough, most of the time it's CHEAPER THAN MINECRAFT ITSELF!!
Okay, the MAPTCHA is pretty cool.
I dont think so, all kind of Server captcha is annoying, cracked servers use it because creating crack accounts is easy and so is bot accounts
@@Jasi-Mori Okay, the MAPTCHA is still pretty cool.
Seeing factions servers with the exact same spawn, gosh that has me nostalgic
Servers in certain countries wouldn't have players if they only allowed genuine players to join (players who bought the game). One of such prime example is Czech Republic (or Czechia) - local servers pretty much have to allow cracked players to join, otherwise our servers would struggle real hard. Remember, running the server isn't cheap, and many servers rely on players and their financial support. Most of the players are kids that don't really have money to buy the game, so they pirate it. Or, despite having motivation in form of a parent promising to "buy the game in exchange for good grades", the kid struggles in school, so no luck. And without the ability to buy it themselves, the only option is to pirate it. And yeah, most adults who play the game did actually pay for the game and have a genuine account. But realistically speaking, not many adults play on servers, most of us play single player worlds, or we play with friends on some private SMPs. Very few adults play on open servers. So majority of players that servers have are kids, which mostly play cracked. If every single cracked server was indefinitely blocked by Mojang, then servers in those certain countries would cease to exist. Altogether. No, it doesn't mean that only cracked servers would cease to exist, or that cracked servers would simply re-open as genuine only. Opening server as genuine only would simply mean you won't have players, so it's pointless to open one. And if the cracked servers are banned, it would mean running a server wouldn't be possible. Or more specifically, it wouldn't be economically viable.
Czechs have enough of money to pay for the game come on plus you guys are bunch of horrible pirates lets be honest here, not even saying that most of CZ servers you talk about are so behind the curve its not even funny but they love pay to win its just that owners of those servers are really not well educated and they dont invest anything back they just run servers to get money no matter the quallity.. horrible scene ...

No. Even before sanctions cracked mc and these servers were popular, and similar servers are popular in other countries. Most of playerbase of these servers are kids who cannot afford Minecraft, but still want to play it.
@@JavaJumper i can tell you've never played a cracked server. I owned the game and still played on cracked

In the CZ/SK (non-English speaking) everyone was using cracked, having bought Minecraft used to be a flex back in the day. We even had terms like "Warez or Warezák-Plural (Cracked Player)" and "Origo (Bought Minecraft player)." These days cracked over here died down significantly (To an extent). The ones who had cracked eventually bought Minecraft because they grew up and could afford the game now for real.

As someone who only just recently bought premium Minecraft out of pocket after playing it for 7+ years, when I wanted to start playing bedwars, skywars etc, playing on Jartex was a huge thing for me. And because it was somewhat accurate to Hypixel gamemodes (mainly bedwars and skywars) with (from my knowledge correct me if I'm wrong) some uniquely made maps just for Jartex. Now since I bought Minecraft, I haven't actually had time to play much, I only played Hypixel once, so I won't exactly be returning to Jartex. But I still have respect for it, even if it's against EULA, because it gave so much fun for many people. Yes there are the pay to win ranks and whatnot, but as a casual player, I never cared. Nor even the fact that they were copy pasted maps.
demaster is an owner of the Cristalix. It's the most popular minigames server in post-USSR.
But for PVP, Vimeworld is the most popular 1.8.9 server. I don't even know about servers shown in the video but I play on Vimeworld even I have a license minecraft, just because Hypixel is not so popular and almost everyone I have met played on Vimeworld at least one time
Im pretty sure mojang cant ban those. At least for non-official clients. They only have 2 ways of banning a server: having a blacklist sent to all clients or disallowing server to authorize people in online mode.
Such servers are running in offline modes (so second option wont work), and spoiler: thats what they actually use. So when online set to false, they just completely lose control over it

Probably too young to know but this is a twink: Twink (WoW) - A low-level character made more powerful by higher-level characters, usually through gifts of armor and weapons that the character would not normally have at such low level. Also used as a verb to describe the act of giving low-level characters powerful items uncommon at their level.
Today's Fact: In 2020, a team of researchers developed a new type of AI that can design molecules for use in medicine and materials science.
Fun fact, in german, we use "twink" instead of "alt" for some fucking reason
I've never heard of the term twink account. Looking through the comments it sounds like an actual term, but I've always heard it as smurf accounts in the same use case
It depends, many games use the words twinking or etc in games such as WoW or PVP in the souls franchise. Basically, gearing yourself in worse gear to fight newer players
i can assure you in the german speaking minecraft community, we use alt account like the english speaking community. i think the reason that other communities use these rather exotic terms is that german communites are way more into the english stuff since we have learn english in school more thorough than in other european countries. besides that and what ive seen on social media way more people travel in our countries than the other european countries.
They are very different terms.
A twink account is an account that puts in no effort themselves and just gets high-level gear from stronger players.
A smurf is someone who keeps themselves purposely low-ranked to get easy kills on less skilled players.
@@DrDoompenguin Not necessarily. Back when I played Blade and Soul regularly I had 2 primary characters, and a smurf character that doesn't fit either of those definitions. It was one that I hopped on from time to time to do pvp and boss raids with people who were highly skilled, and often times the mvp.
In all cases it's still technically just an alt account, i'm just surprised that twink is a term used like this.
@@kinetic6637 A mobile game I play regularly, Summoner's War, as a huge problem with this. We just call them toxic farmers (they're all top ranking players, championship contenders/winners purposefully dropping ranks to the equivalent of beginner to "just starting to get the hang of pvp" for easy wins) or bots lol
I hate the fact that both of the largest Hungarian Minecraft servers both need custom launchers to join, not to mention that one of them allegedly has spyware built into the launcher (there is proof, but the server management refuses to comment on it).

Turkish player here. Let me explain the Sonoyuncu and Craftrise.
Pirating games was always been a reality in Turkey, espeacially till 2017. This is why most of the minecraft servers here allows cracked users to join since they are most of their playerbase. Other than that, last time i played in those servers there wasnt any stolen content/map/hub there. But i don't know the current situation.

Hi
Hi
I love how Mojang's chat reporting gave a huge boost to cracked Minecraft servers like these ones.
btw, if you see that server has 5000 players online, it's often is not true. Some servers have plugins to show fake online numbers, for example there could be only 200 players on a server, but plugin multiplies that number by 10, and you see 2000.
Cracked servers started doing it long time ago, because new players are more likely to join a server with bigger playerbase.
Also sidenote, if you see a big unusual spike in player count stats, it sometimes could be due to bot attack
(i had to write this comment here cuz I can't edit messages on mobile 😡)
I remember when I was little, I paid like +$100 to a server for a rank, just to get banned shortly after, and never seeing the server or my money again. I don't remember the server's name because it's so long ago, but I remember it had +1000 people online all time, making it such a huge scam, as I'm sure plenty of people were scammed daily now that I think and look back at it! I wish I knew and could remember the name of that server, because if it's still running today, who knows how many people/children it has scammed?
"twink" is a term used in WoW for an alt that you lock to a lower level but grind to get the Best in Slot items so you could beat the people who were leveling through PvP battlegrounds.
i dont really care that people play cracked copies of the game or even run cracked servers, pirating the game is how i got into it as it was what Notch said to do if you wanted to try it before buying it. also i understand that some people's families just don't have disposable income, so cracked versions of the game might be some kid's actual only way to play it. monetizing one of these servers on the other hand is a bit egregious tho, especially considering so much of their back ends are just outright stolen. great videos lately, really enjoy the deep dives into lesser talked about mc topics
i started playing minecraft online with cracked
and when i bought the game i preferred the same cracked server
not trying to pay some hundreds or a thousand dollars to compete because everyone else can fly and has special enchants they paid for. that even if you had the same gear it won't work because you haven't bought the top rank for some 500+ USD.
We also have big servers like this in the Hungarian Minecraft community, currently the biggest to my knowledge is FyreMC with around 1000-1200 players daily I think.
