You can use discord.ext.tasks to make this in a better way.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks

class Mcstats(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        self.channel = self.bot.get_channel(channel_id_of_the_message)
        self.message = await self.channel.fetch_message(message_id)
        self.task.start()
    
    @tasks.loop(minutes=1)
    async def task(self):
        #retrieving data and creating embed
        await self.message.edit(embed=your_embed) #editing message
