Assistance? Using Minecraft in YouTube

U

unknown_user0032

I Love YTtalk
I know that Mojang allow Minecraft to be used on YouTube with or without commentary (for timelapses, etc). Could someone please send me the link to the page where it states this? I've looked but I can't seem to find it. I'm about to record a video, but will need that paragraph to avoid a strike.

Thank you!
 
Commercial Things (including information about YouTube advertisments)

We are less relaxed about commercial things. You may not therefore use the Minecraft Name in or as the main name or title of commercial things.
You may use the Minecraft Name as a secondary name or title on YouTube, or any other site if you:
  • do so because it is necessary to honestly and fairly describe those things or the purpose of them:
  • follow the Essential Requirements;
  • ensure that the Minecraft Name (which includes any confusingly similar name) is not the dominant element or the distinctive part of the complete name or title of what you are doing;
  • don't use any other aspect of the Minecraft Brand or Minecraft Assets as part of any related branding, including as or as part of any logo.
Examples of naming: "The Shaft – a Minecraft podcast" (we're cool with that). "Minecraft - the ultimate help app" (we're NOT cool with that)
You may not make any other commercial use of the Minecraft Brand or Minecraft Assets for example you may not sell any merchandise that uses the Minecraft Brand or Minecraft Assets. If you upload videos of the game to video sharing and streaming sites (like YouTube) you are however allowed to put ads on them.
We love the idea of people doing cool things with Minecraft and sharing them with the community. That's something we totally support and encourage. So please feel free to do so but please also make sure you don't go too far.
If something isn't covered by these Guidelines that probably means we don't want you to do it. In any case if it isn't covered please don't do it without getting permission from us. You can contact us at brands at mojang.com. If something is specifically covered and permitted by these Guidelines and our Minecraft terms of use then you don't need to contact us.

What You Can Do

If you've bought the game, you may play around with it and modify it. We'd appreciate it if you didn't use this for griefing, though, and remember not to distribute the changed versions of our software. Basically, mods (or plugins, or tools) are cool (you can distribute those), hacked versions of the Minecraft client or server are not (you can't distribute those).
Any tools you write for the game from scratch belongs to you. Other than commercial use (unless specifically authorized by us in our brand and assets usage guidelines - for instance you are allowed to put ads on your YouTube videos containing Minecraft footage), you're free to do whatever you want with screenshots and videos of the game, but don't just rip art resources and pass them around, that's no fun. Plugins for the game also belong to you and you can do whatever you want with them, as long as you don't sell them for money. We reserve the final say regarding what constitutes a tool/plugin and what doesn't.

The second one seems to be what you are after :)
 
Ooh brilliant Michael thanks! :)

So it seems as long as don't call it for e.g. Minecraft - Building Stuff, and make sure I point out that I'm not affiliated, I should be all good. Winning!
 
No problem, its definitely the second quote and not the first, the first is more to do with their name/trademarks.
