Season competition participation terms

Binding terms for participating in MythBlock's season leaderboard.
Last updated: September 2026. The following terms are binding for participation in MythBlock's season leaderboard. In the event of any conflict with our Terms and Conditions , these special terms take precedence.

1. Organiser

The organiser of the season competition is the operator of MythBlock. For contact details and complete information, see the imprint .

2. Eligibility

  • Only players with an active account on the MythBlock Minecraft server who accepted the season book on their first join of the season are eligible (command /season accept). Players who declined the book (/season decline) do not appear on the leaderboard and receive no prizes. The decision can be reversed at any time (Art. 7 Abs. 3 DSGVO withdrawal).
  • Employees, moderators and administrators of MythBlock as well as their relatives are excluded.
  • In the event of suspected rule violations, cheating, use of bots, multi-accounting or any other manipulation, the organiser reserves the right to exclude the participant without any claim to prizes.

3. Scoring mechanics (season chains)

Your placement on the season leaderboard is determined solely by your season score: a single value that includes, among other things, blocks mined, phases, prestiges, votes and playtime. In addition, you collect season points through 23 season chains from your gameplay activity during the current season; the season chains do not determine the rank. Each chain has up to six tiers (I–VI) with increasing goals and point values (15, 30, 60, 120, 250, 400 points per tier). The 23 chains are stored server-side in the plugin configuration and are grouped into four categories:
  • Core: Playtime, Mining, Active Days, Phases, Prestige, AFK
  • Combat & Luck: Mob Kills, Lucky Blocks, Jackpots, Rare Jackpots
  • Economy: Farming, Fishing, Crafting, Selling, Economy, Spawner, Minions
  • Community: Votes, Vote Crates, Challenges, Social, Battle Pass, Season Events

4. Season duration and season end

A season runs by default for one calendar month. The season key and start/end date (format YYYY-SN, e.g. 2026-S10 for Season 4) are calculated dynamically and are visible on the season page. The rotation is checked automatically every day at midnight in the configured time zone; manual triggering is carried out by the administration. When the season end time is reached, the leaderboard is frozen.

5. Prizes

From Season 4 (starting 01.10.2026), MythBlock awards only in-game prizes and shop vouchers; no cash prizes are paid out. In every season the Top 5 receive the guaranteed in-game prizes under section 5.1. If the season goal under section 5.2 is reached, they additionally receive a shop voucher. Season 3 is covered by the transitional rule in section 5.4.

5.1 Guaranteed in-game prizes

  • 1st place: 3× Season Crate + 1,500 ✦ Crystals
  • 2nd place: 2× Dragon Crate + 1,500 ✦ Crystals
  • 3rd place: 1× Dragon Crate + 1,500 ✦ Crystals
  • 4th place: 2× Shadow Crate + 1,000 ✦ Crystals
  • 5th place: 2× Void Crate + 500 ✦ Crystals
Crate keys open the respective crate; the drop rates are made public before each crate is used (§ 5a UWG).

5.2 Voucher bonus when the season goal is reached

The season goal is reached if both of the following conditions are met:
  • At least 15 participants have accepted the season book (checked by the plugin in PayoutService.processEndOfSeason).
  • Season revenue target of 450 € net reached in the web shop. Net means: gross revenue after deduction of payment service provider fees, before taxes. The server team confirms manually that the goal has been reached.
In that case the Top 5 receive a shop voucher in addition to the prizes under section 5.1:
  • 1st place: shop voucher worth 50 €
  • 2nd place: shop voucher worth 25 €
  • 3rd place: shop voucher worth 15 €
  • 4th place: shop voucher worth 10 €
  • 5th place: shop voucher worth 5 €
Shop vouchers cannot be paid out in cash.

5.3 Delivery of prizes

  1. After the end of the season, the Top 5 are published on the website.
  2. Crates and Crystals are transferred to the winner's account via the JExCrates or plugin bridge.
  3. Shop vouchers are issued in-game as a CouponItem and redeemed by right-clicking.
  4. The prizes under sections 5.1 and 5.2 are subject to no minimum age and no payout verification.

5.4 Transitional rule for Season 3

For Season 3 (01.09.2026 to 30.09.2026) the previous prizes apply. If the season goal under section 5.2 is reached, the Top 5 receive:
  • 1st place: 50 € via PayPal
  • 2nd place: 25 € via PayPal
  • 3rd place: shop voucher worth 25 €
  • 4th place: shop voucher worth 15 €
  • 5th place: 3× Season Crate (virtual crate key)
If the season goal is not reached, the Top 5 receive the prizes under section 5.1 instead. For the PayPal prizes:
  1. Minimum age 18; minors need the consent of their legal guardians (§ 107 BGB).
  2. Winners have 14 days to submit their payout details (PayPal email, if applicable proof of age or parental consent). The deadline is binding by calendar date, with proof via email correspondence. If a winner does not respond within the deadline, the next participant moves up.
  3. The payout takes place within 30 days after complete verification, manually by the server team.
  4. Conversion to store credit: winners may convert their PayPal cash prize into a shop voucher on request, instantly, with a bonus of +50% (e.g. €50 PayPal → €75 store credit).

6. Tax notices

Any taxes incurred on cash prizes or material prizes are borne by the winner. In particular, we point to § 22 Nr. 3 EStG (other income): if the sum of winnings and comparable income in the calendar year exceeds 256 €, it is subject to income tax. The organiser provides no tax advice and assumes no reporting obligations for the winner.

7. Gambling-law notice

The season competition is designed as a game of skill and performance — placement, and thus the claim to a prize, depends exclusively on gameplay performance (season score from, among other things, blocks mined, phases, prestiges, votes and playtime). A gambling-law licence under § 3 GlüStV is therefore not required.

8. Battle Pass

The Battle Pass is a separate digital season product with 100 tiers across two tracks (free + premium). The premium track delivers higher-value rewards. The free track can be claimed on a time-limited basis according to the formula floor(maxTier × √(Tag/SaisonTage)); the premium track grants an immediate claim at the XP threshold once unlocked. Unclaimed rewards expire with the season rotation.

9. Data protection

Participation in the season competition takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) by accepting the season book in-game. For this purpose we store in the table ob_season_participation your UUID, the season key, your decision (accepted/declined) as well as timestamps and a hash of the specific book version accepted — the latter to fulfil the obligation of proof under Art. 7 Abs. 1 DSGVO. You can withdraw this consent at any time via /season decline (Art. 7 Abs. 3 DSGVO); a withdrawal does not have retroactive effect but immediately excludes you from the current season scoring and any payouts.

For processing the PayPal payout from Season 3 (section 5.4) we additionally process the data provided during the payout process (in particular PayPal email, if applicable proof of age) on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract performance). Accounting records are retained for ten years pursuant to § 147 AO. Remaining competition data is deleted once its purpose has been fulfilled (Art. 5 Abs. 1 lit. e DSGVO). Complete information is in the privacy policy .

10. Liability

The organiser is liable only for damage attributable to intent or gross negligence. For slight negligence the organiser is liable only in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

11. Reservation of the right to make changes

The organiser reserves the right to change these participation terms with effect for future seasons. Changes are announced on the website at least 14 days before they take effect. If the book text changes between seasons, you will receive a new book on your first join of the new season for a renewed decision — the old consent applies only to the version whose hash is stored in the database.

12. Final provisions

German law applies to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
