Minecraft's Usage Guidelines were updated on May 19, 2026 with a single punctuation change: a space was removed after the comma following 'End User License Agreement (EULA)'. The updated text now reads 'EULA), Microsoft Service Agreement' instead of 'EULA) , Microsoft Service Agreement'. This is a formatting correction with no operational difference to the legal agreements referenced or their applicability to users.
This change is a formatting correction that removes an extra space in a sentence listing the legal agreements governing Minecraft use. The substance of the referenced policies—the End User License Agreement, Microsoft Service Agreement, and Privacy Policy—remains unchanged. No modification to user rights, obligations, or legal standing results from this punctuation adjustment.
