Minecraft can update these terms and will try to notify you in advance by posting on their website or through other means they consider reasonable.
Users who continue to play Minecraft after a terms update — even if they haven't seen the notice — may be bound by new rules, making it important to regularly check the EULA page for changes.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) Art. 6 and 10, which require clear pre-contract information and limit the enforceability of unilaterally modified terms against consumers. GDPR Art. 7(3) requires that withdrawal of consent be as easy as giving it, relevant if EULA changes affect data processing bases. The UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 Section 62 voids unfair terms in consumer contracts, which may include changes made without adequate notice. FTC Act Section 5 applies to changes that amount to deceptive or unfair practices. (2)
