Terms of Service
Last updated October 9, 2026
These terms cover your use of the Ember launcher, the Ember client, this website, our Discord bot and the Ember store (together, “Ember”). By using Ember you agree to them. If you don't, please don't use Ember.
Who can use Ember
You need a legitimate copy of Minecraft: Java Edition on a Microsoft account. If you're under the age of digital consent where you live, you need a parent or guardian's permission, and they need to make any purchases.
Not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft
Ember is an independent project. It is not an official Minecraft product and is not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft. Your use of Minecraft is still governed by the Minecraft EULA and Microsoft's terms.
Your account
Ember identifies you by your Minecraft account. You're responsible for what happens on it. Don't share it, sell it, or use Ember to access accounts that aren't yours. We can suspend Ember access for accounts involved in fraud, chargebacks, harassment, or attempts to break or abuse our services.
Fair play
Ember is built to be allowed on servers. Don't modify it, inject code into it or combine it with tools to gain an unfair advantage. Servers set their own rules — if a server bans you for breaking them, that's between you and the server.
Coins and cosmetics
- Coins are a virtual currency you can only use inside Ember. They have no cash value, can't be exchanged for money, and can't be transferred except through the gifting features we provide.
- When you buy a cosmetic, you get a license to use it with your account on Ember for as long as Ember operates. You don't own the artwork itself.
- Cosmetics are visible to other Ember players only. We may adjust their artwork over time to fix problems or keep them working with new versions.
- Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.
Acceptable content
Usernames, skins and anything you post through our Discord or bot must not be hateful, sexual, threatening or illegal. We may remove content and restrict access when they are.
Changes and availability
We work hard to keep Ember running, but we provide it “as is”, without guarantees that it will always be available or error-free. We may change or discontinue features. If we ever shut down the store, we'll announce it at least 30 days in advance.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, Ember is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for any amount above what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer protection law that can't be waived.
Changes to these terms
When we change these terms in a meaningful way, we'll post it in the news and on Discord before it takes effect. Continuing to use Ember after that means you accept the new terms.
