This is just ridiculous. What makes them think they get to decide what grown-ass adults do in their own private servers?
They are about a decade too late to child-proof Minecraft. A lot of the children they might even claimed to want to protect are adults by now.
I really can't wrap my head around why. Doing this on public servers I think is annoying, but there's at least some logic to not wanting kids to stumble into mature content. Private servers though? What could possibly be the reasoning?
How exactly would Mojang enforce this for private servers?
AFAIK it's purely based on a player reporting system at the moment. So as long as you completely trust your server mates, you should be fine.
