Nearly 3000 EU players who bought Minecraft as kids before 2014 just received qualification notices in a Swedish class action. The suit filed in June demands consequences for the forced account switch that many still resent years later.
If you bought Minecraft as a minor in the EU before late 2013 check your spam folder. The team behind the class action against Mojang just sent qualification emails today warning participants they must confirm with the Swedish court by September 25 or risk missing out.
What the suit actually wants from Mojang
Filed in Nacka tingsrätt under case T 5478-26 the action argues that the forced migration to Microsoft accounts violated consumer protection rules. It focuses on legacy buyers who purchased directly from Mojang AB only to have their original accounts tied to a Microsoft login they never asked for. The group wants the court to order remedies that could include data ownership clarifications compensation or other fixes for how the switch was handled.
Participation is closed but the current phase covers 2845 qualified people. If it advances to full class action the plan is to have Mojang use its own records to notify a wider group of affected players. The site notes the court botched its own notification process which is why the organizers stepped in with direct emails from [email protected].
Who qualifies right now
- Bought Minecraft no later than December 9 2013
- Was under 18 at time of purchase
- EU or EEA resident at time of purchase
- On the list submitted to court before June 19 2026
Due to the court’s poor handling of the notices we’ve directly emailed every qualified participant. All emails to qualified participants have been delivered at the writing of this announcement.
The project traces back to creator Kian Brose whose earlier videos laid out complaints about Mojang’s practices around the migration consumer law compliance and how it affected younger buyers. The GoFundMe that financed the action has been public for over a year and the filings are available for review on the site. Mojang has responded through lawyers but the case continues to move forward.
This is not some random Discord claim. It is a documented court case with a public paper trail an active website sending real emails today and a narrow but serious scope. Whether it produces meaningful remedies or simply forces Mojang to defend its old decisions the fact that nearly 3000 people have signed on shows the migration drama never fully went away.
