Cosmic PvP Server Issues and Exploitations
May 11, 2025
Notes on Cosmic PvP and Cosmic Sky Server Issues
Overview of Cosmic PvP
One of the most successful Minecraft servers.
Owned by YouTubers Preston Plays and Mr. Waffles.
Generated approximately $25 million in revenue over a decade.
Previous concerns over illegal gambling monetization schemes.
Recent Developments
Server reopened in late 2023, gaining over 1,000 daily players.
Features illegal gambling for minors and a black market for item sales.
Players can spend up to $200 for a chance to buy new ranks.
Server History
Original shutdown due to popularity decline; all modes (factions, Prison, Sky Block) ceased operation.
Cosmic Sky relaunched in July of last year.
Non-Compliance with Minecraft Guidelines
Blacklist Issues
Server's IP (cosmic sky.com) was blocked by Mojang in January 2021 due to violations.
Players use a third-party client (Cosmic Client) to bypass the blacklist.
ULA Violations
Sale of Unbans
Players previously paid $20-$50 to buy unbans.
Currently, players are sent to a prison world to do an impossible task to escape.
Players can buy coal to escape, effectively paying for an unban.
Cosmo Slot Bot Mechanics
Functions similar to a slot machine, considered gambling.
Requires gambling terminology (e.g., spin, roll) which violates guidelines.
Does not disclose odds of winning rewards, violating transparency rules.
Rewards lead to further randomization and non-disclosure of odds, compounding violations.
Loot Boxes
Sold for about $15, lack of displayed odds leads to potential exploitation.
Many rewards have their own randomized item pools without listed odds.
Flash Sale Scandal
Limited quantity release of the most expensive rank (Celestial Rank).
Players must spend $200 to prepare for a flash sale with no guarantee of purchase.
Flash sales lead to significant financial gain for the server in seconds.
Underage Gambling and IRL Trading
Large IRL trading culture where players sell in-game items for real money.
Leads to proxy gambling, with players wagering real money in-game.
Server allows advertisement of IRL trades, which is not permitted by many other servers.
Conclusion
Cosmic Sky's monetization practices are considered harmful and exploitative.
Server has a history of non-compliance with Mojang guidelines and has been blacklisted multiple times.
Current practices enable unregulated gambling, especially among minors.
