Notch Asks The Community For Permission To Track Player Data In Minecraft

Mojang's Notch, a smart man in the field of game design and management of the company's 20 millionplus Minecraft players is a great choice. The designer posted a poll on his blog to find out if his cuboid friends would be comfortable with the company's collection of anonymous data from their users.

Currently, Mojang tracks when players log into the game. Notch proposes to collect "non-private" data, such as gameplay-session length, OS type, whether you are playing in a single or multi-player mode, and whether you are using the client or web applet. The community will then have access to the collected data "as usual."

Notch said that the data will be sent "naturally" anonymously. It wouldn't contain your session details or user name, and it won't send any sensitive data that you don't want to share. To be Minecraft Towny Servers , we're quite surprised that this kind of data wasn't being collected.
