Minecraft removed three hyperlinks from its End User License Agreement on April 19, 2026. The changes eliminated links that previously directed users to resources about internet safety, moderation policies and appeals procedures, and intellectual property infringement reporting. Users can no longer access these resources directly from the agreement text.
The updated terms no longer include direct hyperlinks to three key resources: internet safety information, moderation policies and account appeal procedures, and the intellectual property infringement reporting process. Users who previously accessed these resources by clicking links embedded in the agreement must now navigate to them through other means, such as the main website or support pages. The underlying policies and resources themselves remain available but are no longer immediately accessible from the terms document.
Hyperlink to safety guidance removed from terms text
Hyperlink to moderation policies and account appeal information removed from terms text
Hyperlink to IP infringement reporting process removed from terms text
