Mojang can update the EULA and will notify you of changes via website posting or other reasonable means before they take effect, but continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance.

This clause establishes the procedural mechanism through which the licensor can unilaterally alter the contractual terms governing service use. The notice requirement creates an operational standard for communicating changes, though the scope of what constitutes a material change requiring notice is not precisely defined in the provision.
Interpretive note: The phrase 'other reasonable means' for notification is not defined in the document, and the minimum notice period before amendments take effect is not specified, creating uncertainty about what constitutes adequate notice in practice.
The EULA states that updated terms take effect after notice via website posting or unspecified 'other reasonable means'; users who continue using Minecraft Services after a EULA update are bound by the new terms, so periodic review of the EULA is advisable for anyone who relies on its current provisions.
