Minecraft updated navigational and educational messaging on its Privacy Statement webpage on May 14, 2026. References to specific educational programs (Learn to Code, Explore STEM in Space, Learn Online Safety) were replaced with different educational offerings (Bring STEM to Life, Explore Online Safety). A new 'Consumer Health Privacy' link and 'Your Privacy Choices' footer were added. These are primarily formatting and content updates to the public-facing website interface rather than substantive changes to privacy rights or data practices.
