Privacy policy

Everything stays on your phone.

Companion for Minecraft is an unofficial, fan-made app for Minecraft, for Android and iPhone, by Foundy Works. This page says what it keeps, where it goes online and what it never does. Last updated 11 November 2026.

The short version

No account and no sign-in. No analytics, advertising or tracking. Everything you enter is stored on your phone and nowhere else; we have no server and collect nothing.

What the app keeps on your phone

Your profile and who stands on Home; your saved skins and characters; your servers and the friends you watch for; saved commands and circuits; your advancement ticks, clock and alarms; your settings and themes, with any pictures you add; the game’s textures once fetched; and the last copy of the news and patch notes. None of it leaves your phone.

Where the app goes online

• Google Play / App StoreGoogle Play services on Android; the App Store on iPhone

  The optional support purchase, app updates and the review sheet. The store handles payment; we never see your payment details.

• The game's texturescdn.jsdelivr.net, raw.githubusercontent.com

  Block and item pictures from a public mirror of Minecraft's files, fetched the first time each is shown and kept on your phone.

• Mojang's news and versionslaunchercontent.mojang.com, piston-meta.mojang.com

  The News and Updates pages, and the background check for new posts and versions when those notifications are on.

• Mojang's profile serviceapi.mojang.com, sessionserver.mojang.com, textures.minecraft.net

  Only when you look up a skin, with the player name you typed.

• Your serversThe Minecraft servers you add; dns.google to find a Java server's address

  Asking each server you add how it is, when you open Servers and, if you follow it, every quarter hour in the background.

• The Minecraft Wikiminecraft.wiki

  Only when you tap Open on the Minecraft Wiki: the page opens in your browser.

Permissions

Internet, for the above. Photos and camera, only when you choose a picture for a skin, character or theme, through the system picker; the app sees only the picture you pick. Notifications and alarms, for the day clock, the furnace and the news, version and server alerts: exact alarms on Android, scheduled notifications on iPhone, set and rung on your phone.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage, deletes everything it has stored. As we hold nothing about you, there is nothing to request from us.
