Tracer.AI Pulls Luanti From Google Play Over Minecraft Claim, Again

Tracer.AI, filing for Microsoft, cited a Minecraft copyright registration against an open-source engine that ships no Minecraft assets.

  • Tracer.AI cited US copyright registration TX 8-192-097, from Minecraft Java Edition 1.9.
  • The same firm sent an identical notice in March 2023; Luanti returned after 46 days.
  • Allumeria, a separate open-source project, got a matching Tracer.AI notice in February 2024.

Why it matters: Automated takedown systems make filing a false accusation free and correcting one expensive and slow.
