A Mojang community manager says the company won't U-turn on Minecraft's controversial new player reporting system.

A Mojang community manager has stated that the company has no intention of reversing its implementation of a controversial new player reporting feature, and called for an end to harassment of Mojang employees. , while the company values player feedback, it won't necessarily"change the design principles Mojang Studios adheres to—this includes the upcoming reporting system".

Minecraft players have been up in arms about the new player reporting system since it was announced a month ago, but it was finally implemented as part of yesterday's 1.19.1 update. It allows players on both private and Mojang-hosted multiplayer servers to flag inappropriate messages in chat for review by Mojang investigators, potentially resulting in suspensions and bans for players that violate Minecraft's community guidelines even on self-hosted servers.

I don't think their argument is without merit, even if some players are behaving terribly about it. It's hard to see a world where this system doesn't ban someone because a joke between friends got misinterpreted. There will be an appeals process, though, and it's also true that there are plenty of misconceptions flying around about how the system actually works.
