This is a question we get from a lot of parents. The short of it is, yes; in a controlled environment, Minecraft is 100% safe for your kids. In fact, the game is rated suitable for ages 7 and up.
As we detailed in the previous question, Minecraft gameplay is centered more on exploring, hunting, and building. What’s more, the graphics are blocky and simplified. There are no graphic depictions, no inappropriate language, no questionable concepts. At its core, Minecraft is actually quite wholesome.
The biggest concern, of course, is that Minecraft can be played online—especially since there are cooperative modes. This is an avenue that parents cannot control, as we cannot control who sits on the other end of the computer screen.
However, rest assured that all CodeKid Minecraft Coding courses take place in controlled, sanctioned environments. We discourage online bullying and do our best to protect our students from it. We stay mostly in single-player game mode, which means there’s no need for cooperative play (and thus no need to play or chat with others online). We also encourage safe play and best practices, such as using whitelisted servers or family-friendly servers.
