If you’re looking for more information in general about Minecraft, the game your kid and all their friends are obsessed with, we’d highly recommend checking out our parent’s guide to Minecraft if you want a solid overview of the game with parental concerns in mind and, for a more in-depth look, check out our extended series on the game here. In the following sections, you’ll see all four arranged by ease of use-from easiest to most difficult. In addition the problems that plague big and poorly moderated servers like swearing, inappropriate content and behavior, or griefing (where players antagonize another player, typically by destroying the things they’ve built or stealing their stuff), will either be non-existent on a private server or, if they crop up, you know who the culprit is and can have a chat with their parent. Unlike public servers, a private server will only have players you know (your child and the friends and family members you explicitly allow to join). Setting up a private server for your children and their friends to play Minecraft is a great way to create a safe place for them to enjoy the wildly popular game. Don’t worry, you don’t have to figure it out on your own: we’re here to help. Your kids love Minecraft, their friends love Minecraft, and they want to play it together when they can’t be in the same physical place-and they’re begging you to make that happen.
