Message to Fix (SalC1)

Message to Fix is a public statement issued by SalC1, a prominent figure in the Minecraft gaming community, on February 21, 2025, directed at the administrators of EarthMC, chief among them the server owner, Fix. The message outlines a series of demands aimed at addressing transparency, fairness, and technical issues within the server’s operations; specifically perceived enabling of gambling by creation of a pay-to-win system with mystery crates. SalC1 emphasizes that the message is released for transparency and authenticity, asserting it originates directly from him.

Background

SalC1 is known for his involvement in Minecraft communities, particularly in exposing exploits and advocating for ethical practices in server management. This message appears to be part of a broader effort to encourage reform in server policies, particularly those perceived as exploitative or unfair to players. He had previously joined EarthMC

Purpose

The message serves as an ultimatum; SalC1 offers to cease distributing items on the server—potentially disrupting its economy—if these demands are met. The statement highlights ethical concerns regarding monetization practices and technical vulnerabilities while leveraging his influence to pressure administrators into action.

I'm releasing this message to the public for transparency sake. Also to prove that this is coming from SalC1 directly.

Just wanted to give you a heads up. We have lots of stashes and we're ready to give gold/other items out at a moment's notice. Therefore we would like to present you the option for us to stop before we continue to distribute more items on your server. If you vow to enact these policy changes, we will stop the distributions indefinitely.

1. Clearly display the odds of each item a player will win from a mystery crate on your web store.

2. Display a clear warning on the web store that the crates you are selling are a form of gambling and that parents must approve the purchase of all in-game items.

3. Disable the ability for crates to be transacted between players as items, thus solving the problem of players selling these crates for gold, which makes them pay-to-win items. This can be done by running a command or using a GUI to open crates..

4. Remove the ability to have double ender chest storage for paid players.

5. Expedite the patching of bugs and issues on your server that have been reported to the EarthMC Github Issue Tracker. For instance, if this specific issue was looked at and patched swiftly by simply updating this plugin to the latest version, we would've never been able to dupe on your server in the first place: https://github.com/EarthMC/Issue-Tracker/issues/1915
