Last updated September 19, 2026
Scope and Acceptance
By using MCBE News, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. These terms apply to public pages, feeds, API responses, reference archives, staff access, and contact channels.
Independent Site and Source Material
MCBE News is an independent site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Mojang Studios, Microsoft, or Minecraft. Minecraft names, logos, and related trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Original MCBE News writing, structure, and design belong to MCBE News and its contributors unless stated otherwise. Official articles, changelog material, Marketplace metadata, images, and other third-party material remain the property of their respective owners. MCBE News may link to, summarize, or archive that material with source attribution for reporting and reference purposes.
Permitted Personal Use
You may read, link to, share, and briefly quote MCBE News with clear attribution. Personal RSS readers, small personal tools, and ordinary use of public pages and APIs are permitted when they do not interfere with the service.
Public feeds, APIs, Marketplace data, articles, changelogs, and status records are provided for informational convenience. They are not a guarantee of uninterrupted availability, permanent schema stability, price, content availability, or real-time official data.
Automated Access and Reuse
Do not use automated access in a way that overloads, bypasses controls on, or meaningfully interferes with MCBE News. Respect caching guidance, reasonable request limits, and source attribution.
Republishing full original articles, mirroring substantial portions of the archive or API, rebuilding a competing archive from MCBE News data, or commercial reuse of original MCBE News content requires prior permission. Third-party source material remains subject to its owner's rights and terms.
Staff Access and Acceptable Use
You must not use MCBE News to:
- attempt unauthorized access to staff, sync, authentication, upload, or database systems
- interfere with site availability, security, or normal operation
- use a staff role, Discord identity, or session that you are not authorized to use
- send spam, malicious files, abusive messages, or knowingly false material through contact channels
- misrepresent MCBE News, official Minecraft sources, or community sources
Contact and Source Material
If you send an email, Discord message, tip, screenshot, or source material, you must have the right to share it. Contact does not guarantee a response, publication, confidential handling, payment, credit, or removal on request.
MCBE News may review, retain, verify, quote, summarize, decline, or follow up on material sent through a contact channel where appropriate. The contact channels are not an encrypted dropbox or anonymous whistleblower service; do not send credentials or unnecessary sensitive material.
Accuracy, Availability, and External Services
MCBE News aims to make useful and accurate information available, but imported data can lag, source pages can change, APIs can be revised, images can fail to load, and service-status checks can simplify complex conditions. Verify time-sensitive information with the relevant official source.
External links and third-party services are provided for convenience. Their availability, content, security, and policies are outside MCBE News' control.
Disclaimers and Liability
MCBE News is provided on an as-is and as-available basis for informational use. Nothing on the site is legal, financial, account-support, security, or professional advice.
To the extent permitted by law, MCBE News and its contributors are not liable for losses arising from use of, reliance on, or inability to use the site, public data, external links, cached source material, or service-status information.
Changes and Contact
MCBE News may update these terms as the site evolves. The date above identifies the latest revision. Questions can be sent through the Contact page.
