Just because you only use Essential for one feature, does not mean that everybody does
We only use data that is operationally required to run our social features, and track optional telemetry on how our features are used that help us improve them. You can opt out of that.
None of this data is particularly sensitive. It has no value to anyone other than us, and even if a third party would want it, we do not sell data as we explicitly commit to in our privacy policy.
@MrEspion7 We are excited about free peer-to-peer world hosting being part of the vanilla game. More players will play with their friends for free which is a win for everyone!
The reason we made Essential is because we think Minecraft should have our features by default.
