I know of a specific Minecraft server that is breaking EULA rules. However, I haven't kept up with the news of EULA. If EULA is still in effect and whoever looks for the servers (if they do search) and finds this server and sees that it is breaking EULA, could action be taken?
AFAIK - the EULA is STILL in effect... However I'm guessing there's only one or two people who looks at servers to check, and considering how many Minecraft servers there are - it'll take a long time to check them all.
I would also assume these people are first looking at the 'big boys' first (those with >1,000's of 'members', very popular & have the possibility of making the most profit from 'members') before looking at the smaller ones
Mojang can't possibly check every server in existence. Especially since they don't host themselves, and they're hosted client side.
If you see a server that you think breaks EULA rules, report it to Mojang, then they will check it out, and take actions if necessary.
EULA is definitely still a thing; however, it is not being enforced as far as I know (or at least effectively enforced). Thousands of servers aren't complying, and nothing is being done. I also won't comply until Mojang takes it seriously.

Server IP: blockland.org- High Quality 24/7 SMP Survival Server
People should immediately have a message about EULA once they create a server. If a server is breaking EULA rules, it will have to be reported to mojang, so they can whitelist the server and stop people from connecting to it.

What about if a server has been up for a few years before the EULA was around? Or if it was already around, mostly took effect? I did report this server I mentioned, but nothing has happened yet. I reported it about 2 days ago. Would it just take time for it to Mojang to read the message?

They have to deal with a lot of legal. Now that they're part of Microsoft, it happens a lot faster, but it's a slow process (people have to actually go out and investigate). The EULA applies to all servers. They had an opportunity to switch to EULA compliance (about three months) and are expected to hold up the standard.

Still not exempt:
For example if you use the Game only in single-player mode and don't use the updates we make available then the old EULA applies but if you do use the updates or use parts of the game that rely on our providing ongoing online services then the new EULA will apply.
That last part includes multiplayer because you have to log into the authentication servers (technically, even singleplayer requires that you log in in order to play the full game). Not to mention that the "old" EULA actually completely forbid making any money off of the game; in fact, the current EULA is basically the same as the pre-2014 EULA and says the same thing (under "one major rule") - Mojang simply clarified in completely separate statements what servers can/can't do:

Alas, this server has never attempted to comply with the EULA. According to the owner of the server, there was a possible change/no occurrence of the EULA happening which is why they never changed it.

OK, thank you.

The actual EULA makes no mention whatsoever of any of this; the word "server" only appears twice when mentioning the software.
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
