Ore Laundering

In Minecraft, Ore Laundering involves concealing the true source of ores obtained illegitimately. Money laundering in the real world involves making illegally acquired money appear as if it was earned legitimately. The first step in Ore Laundering involves cheating or using other illegitimate methods to obtain ores. It is possible to disguise the true origin of ores by mixing them with others or claiming they were discovered later. The launderer can also profit from their non-legitimate gains by selling or trading the laundered ores. In addition to undermining the integrity of the game, ores laundering provides the launderer with an unfair advantage over others who have earned their ores legitimately. To maintain the fairness of the game, some servers or realms encourage Minecraft players to report suspected cases of ores laundering to game administrators.
