Mojang Targets Repositories of Browser-Based Minecraft Copy ‘Eaglercraft’

Eaglercraft from what I understand was a very old version of Minecraft no one plays. "Mojang" (actually Microsoft don't be fooled), is not in any way threatened by these. The time they've spent paying lawyers is more loss than what these would do.
I find this ironic as Minecraft itself was a clone of Infiniminer.
Infiniminer by Zach Barth (of Zachtronics) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Nq2vNcpIo was the "inspiration" for Minecraft.
Minecraft 1.3 (11+ years old) is of no financial worth to Mojang. All FP voxel crafting games are going to look similar.
and there's a whole community of hosting eaglercraft servers on replit and playing it in school. it sort of makes sense to not want minecraft's brand to be associated with "unblocked games sites"
The author's current approach of publishing tools to extract the information from your own copy of Minecraft is totally fine and ought to have been the way to run this project from the beginning.
As precedent, I present every doom clone ever made.
I want to see Microsoft sue Microsoft over this.
