Legal Guidelines for Selling Minecraft Builds

Updated 2 months ago 3 min read

Selling Minecraft builds on LanderBlock is a great way to share your creativity, but you must follow some important legal rules. These protect you, your buyers, and the platform from problems with copyright or misuse.


🛑 Do Not Claim Official Affiliation

  • You must not imply any partnership or endorsement by Mojang or Microsoft.

  • Minecraft and all related trademarks belong to Mojang Studios (Microsoft).

  • Always make it clear that your builds are fan-made, original creations.


🧱 Upload Only Original Builds

  • Only upload builds that you personally created.

  • Do not copy builds from YouTube, PlanetMinecraft, Reddit, or other sites.

  • Even “modified” versions of another person’s build count as stolen unless you have explicit written permission.


🚫 No Redistribution of Other Creators’ Content

  • You may not upload builds you did not make.

  • You may not resell content from other marketplaces (paid or free).

  • Accounts found doing this may be suspended or banned.


🛑 Important: No Copyrighted or Trademarked Worlds

  • You cannot upload builds based on TV shows, films, other video games, or brands (e.g. Skyrim, Hogwarts, Star Wars, Marvel, etc).

  • These are owned by third parties and cannot legally be sold on LanderBlock.

  • Even if you built them yourself block by block, they are still derivative works and protected by copyright.

✅ Instead, you can:

  • Take inspiration from styles or genres (e.g. “Nordic Castle”, “Futuristic Space Base”).

  • Describe your builds in generic, creative terms:

    • ❌ Hogwarts Castle → ✅ Magic School Castle

    • ❌ Millennium Falcon → ✅ Sci-Fi Spaceship

    • ❌ Skyrim Town → ✅ Nordic Medieval Village


📄 Adding a License File (Optional but Recommended)

  • You may include a license.txt with your build.

  • This helps set clear expectations for buyers.

  • Example license terms:

    • “For personal use only.”

    • “Not for resale or redistribution.”

    • “Streaming/YouTube use permitted with credit to the creator.”


🔁 Buyer Restrictions

  • Buyers are purchasing the right to use the build in their own worlds.

  • Buyers cannot:

    • Resell your build.

    • Redistribute it for free or upload to other marketplaces.

    • Claim they created it themselves.


⚖️ LanderBlock’s Role

  • LanderBlock is a platform for user-generated content.

  • We do not own your builds — you keep your copyright.

  • If there’s a dispute (e.g. copyright claim), we may remove the product until resolved.


✅ Summary Checklist for Creators

Never claim Mojang/Microsoft affiliation.

Upload only original builds you created.

Do not redistribute other people’s content.

(Optional) Add a license file to protect your work.

Understand that buyers cannot resell or redistribute your build.
