From what I heard (I have to go look at the EULA again) it breaks the EULA if you have in game currency that can both be bought and won in game without paying money.
[EDIT] Found it!
"You cannot charge real-world cash for in-game currency
We don’t mind in-game currencies which are earned through playing, but you are not allowed to sell them for real-world cash. Remember - if the stuff you sell affects gameplay, we’re not cool with it." -https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation/
And if you make it so Gc can be got in-game that makes it soft currency which as stated above is against the EULA.
[EDIT2] Another quote from Mojang about this.
"My server features a currency that you can earn through gameplay, but which can also be bought for hard currency. Is that OK?
Soft currencies that are earned in-game are fine, but you cannot sell in-game currency for hard currency. Hybrid/dual currency systems are not allowed" -https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation-the-follow-up-qa/

Sure, first link here:
https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation-the-follow-up-qa/

"Can users purchase something that affects the entire server, such as a temporary XP boost?
Yes, but everyone who can access the server must be able to use the feature, regardless of whether they purchased it or not." (Read what counts as a server below)

"Can I sell “kits” for hard currency if I provide a balanced alternative for non-paying users?
If the “kits” contain gameplay-affecting features they are not allowed. Gameplay balance is not relevant to the EULA. If the items included in the kit are purely cosmetic, you can charge real money/hard currency." (Basically item bombs)

"What counts as a server? Are proxies one big server, or lots of smaller ones?
A server is something a user connects to with their client. The user is on a different server when they leave one and manually join another (in the multiplayer screen). Virtual servers and proxies make no difference; to the client it’s the same server. (All sub-servers should get the same boost [DXP...])

Can I charge access to a specific part of my server, such as a minigame or world?
No, you cannot charge for any part of a server. Only the access. Once on a server, all players must have the same gameplay privileges. You may make a different server which features “premium” areas, and charge for access to that server instead, but the benefits cannot carry between servers." (Notice what counts as a server above)

"If all players get access to a feature such as a plot of land, can I sell access to multiple plots for hard currency?
No - that would be a gameplay affecting change, so it’s not allowed. All player who access your server must have the same gameplay features offered to them. The same rule applies to items, such as potions." (Just more proof that EVERYONE must have access to things equally, for example DXP and items...)

Also from:
https://account.mojang.com/terms#commercial

"sell positive effects or enhancements (other than "Capes") IF everyone on the server is positively affected in exactly the same way." (I think I made my point with the "what counts as a server" clear by now xD)

"ask for donations (as opposed to direct charges) IF you do not offer the individual donor something in exchange that only he or she can use. You may offer server wide rewards if donation goals are achieved though."

My personal favorite:
"sell cosmetic items, except for "Capes", IF the item sold does not give a user an unfair gameplay advantage over anyone else on the server - i.e there can be no "pay to win"."

(Sorry for my absence; I don't go on the forums too often nowadays.) Alright. Thanks for the information. At least with what is given, it would seem that if GC is made purely acquired in-game, GC, as a standalone item, would still be lawful. Adding bombs affecting the entire server (or removing bombs entirely), and there should be no problem with getting GC from the Nether; the problem is not with the suggestion, but rather the system and the items that can be received from said system.

Yep :) Honestly wynn could just add another currency that could be obtained from the nether and you could use that to purchase cosmetics, who says it has to be GC. Also I'm sure that the bombs could be made 100% fair to ALL of the servers/players, maybe changing it so that every player on the servers get 1-3 items, if inventory is full -> drop on the ground and same for XP bombs. Then just increase their price. Heck, Hypixel grabs over 30 dollars for one booster, I count that if you bought the 50 dollar package of GC and used it all on the 5x DXP bombs packages, you'd get ~30 DXP bombs making them about 1.6 dollars each... They would probably sell for 10 dollars each if it was maybe 30 mins across all servers. (+ you'd have some leftover GC, optimally you could get them for 1.5 dollars each [every bit counts if u buy tons xD])
