On April 19, 2026, Minecraft made two formatting-level edits to its Usage Guidelines: adding spaces after commas in the opening sentence listing the EULA, Microsoft Service Agreement, and Privacy Policy, and adding two new footer navigation links ('Consumer Health Privacy' and 'Your Privacy Choices') to the policy footer. These are structural and editorial changes with no modification to substantive terms, obligations, or consumer rights.
The updated Usage Guidelines add two new footer navigation links: 'Consumer Health Privacy' and 'Your Privacy Choices'. No substantive changes to consumer rights, obligations, or data practices are introduced by this modification. The document continues to reference the same underlying legal agreements (EULA, Microsoft Service Agreement, and Privacy Policy) as the governing terms.
The addition of 'Consumer Health Privacy' and 'Your Privacy Choices' navigation links signals that Minecraft is expanding its policy documentation architecture to include additional governance topics. However, the substantive meaning and scope of these new resources cannot be determined from this change alone, as the links themselves are not documented in the diff.
