Minecraft /dev/input/event error

I've been playing Minecraft for a while, and having a computer with Ubuntu, that's what I play it on. However I kept running into a series of error messages about /dev/input/event. Since everything ran fine, I never bothered to see what the error was about. Today I finally searched around and it was a problem with file permissions. A quick command to fix it is sudo chmod go=u /dev/input/event*.

A quick explanation of what it does if you don't understand it, it will copy the permissions for the root (u)ser to the (g)roup and (o)ther, other being anyone else not in the group or that user.
