Binding terms for participating in MythBlock's season leaderboard.
Status: Draft. The following terms are binding for participation in MythBlock's season leaderboard. In the event of any conflict with our , these special terms take precedence. During the pre-launch no season competition is taking place yet; the processes described here apply from the official season start.
1. Organiser
The organiser of the season competition is the operator of MythBlock. For contact details and complete information, see the .
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 are not eligible for payout. The decision can be reversed at any time (Art. 7 Abs. 3 DSGVO withdrawal). - Minimum age for the payout of cash prizes: 18 years. Minor participants require the consent of their legal guardians to accept cash prizes (§ 107 BGB).
- 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 payout.
3. Scoring mechanics (season chains)
Scoring is based on
season points collected through 22 season chains from your gameplay activity during the current season. 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 22 chains are stored server-side in the plugin configuration and are grouped into four categories:
- Core: Playtime, Mining, Active Days, Phases, Prestige
- 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
Among crates, exclusively the vote crate (obtained free of charge through voting) feeds the vote-crate chain. Crates acquired with real money or in-game coins do not count. The separation of purchased crates from the season scoring is technically guaranteed (filtered via the server-side configured
scoring-crate-ids whitelist).
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-S6) are calculated dynamically and are visible on the homepage in the „Seasons" section. 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 and payout
- 1st place: 50 € via PayPal
- 2nd place: 25 € via PayPal
- 3rd place: shop voucher worth 25 €, redeemable in the MythBlock web shop
- 4th place: shop voucher worth 15 €, redeemable in the MythBlock web shop
- 5th place: 3× season crate of the respective following season (virtual crate key)
5.1 Conditions for the prize payout
A payout of the prizes listed above only takes place if
both of the following conditions are met:
- At least 15 participants 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 connection of the revenue report from the web shop to the plugin is in preparation; until then the server team releases the payout manually.
If one or both conditions are not met, the cash payout for the season in question is forfeited. Instead, the Top 5 receive the guaranteed in-game rewards listed under section 5.3 — so the Top 5 never leave empty-handed.
5.2 Payout process
- After the end of the season, the top 5 are published on the website.
- Winners have 14 days to submit their payout details (PayPal email, if applicable proof of age or parental consent). A technically enforced verification window is in preparation; until then the deadline is binding by calendar date with proof via email correspondence.
- Payout of the PayPal prizes takes place within 30 days after complete verification. Dispatch is currently carried out manually by the server team; automation via the PayPal Payouts API is in preparation.
- 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). The credit is redeemable in the MythBlock web shop.
- Shop vouchers (3rd and 4th place) are issued in-game as a
CouponItem and redeemed by right-clicking. Web-redeemable voucher codes with single-use redemption are in preparation. - The season crates (5th place) are transferred to the winner's account as virtual crate keys via the JExCrates bridge.
- If a winner does not respond within the 14-day period, the next participant moves up into the place.
5.3 Guaranteed in-game rewards (if the goal is missed)
If the season goal (section 5.1) is not reached, the Top 5 receive the following guaranteed in-game rewards instead of the cash prizes. They are transferred to the winner's account via the JExCrates / plugin bridge and are subject to no minimum age and no payout verification under section 5.2:
- 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 published before every crate use (§ 5a UWG). If a winner does not respond within the 14-day period (section 5.2), the next participant moves up.
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 (prestige, phase progress, challenges, battle pass tier, playtime, activity). Crate contents and other chance-based game mechanics are technically guaranteed to be separated from the leaderboard scoring (see section 3: only crate IDs from the scoring-crate-ids list count; default: exclusively the free vote crate). 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 is unlocked exclusively with the in-game currency Coins (standard price 100,000 Coins) — there is no direct EUR purchase path for the Battle Pass. Both tracks award identical score points; the premium track merely 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; a transparent notice before each premium unlock (§ 5a UWG) is in preparation.
Since the premium track is not acquired with real money but with coins earned in-game, no consumer-protection waiver of the right of withdrawal under § 356 Abs. 5 BGB applies here. The general waiver of the right of withdrawal for digital content acquired directly with EUR remains described in the .
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 payout 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 .
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. Recourse to the courts is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
