Event Summary

Minecraft's Usage Guidelines were updated on June 9, 2026 with a single sentence modification: a space was removed after the comma following 'End User License Agreement (EULA)' in the opening legal agreements section. The sentence previously read 'The Minecraft End User License Agreement (EULA) , Microsoft Service Agreement...' and now reads 'The Minecraft End User License Agreement (EULA), Microsoft Service Agreement...'. This is a formatting correction with no operational change to the substance or scope of the legal agreements referenced.

LOW
