Minecraft

14th May 2025Louise Gatti

Still the best-selling game of all time, Minecraft has hundreds of millions of players – making it more important than ever to stay informed. With its vibrant worlds and endless potential for creativity it’s no wonder Minecraft continues to capture young imaginations.

 

With the Minecraft movie hitting cinemas in April, interest in the game has remained strong. But whether they’re mining resources or building digital castles, children could also encounter strangers, scary content or bullying behaviour online.

With its limitless opportunities for building, exploring and collaborating, Minecraft remains a global gaming phenomenon. Its broad appeal lies in how open-ended it is – but this also means it’s not without risk. From chatting with strangers on public servers to the grief of having a beloved creation destroyed, young players can face challenges if left unsupervised. Minecraft can also become a time sink for enthusiastic players, with late nights spent crafting and constructing, potentially impacting school and social lives.

Here is a free guide to understand how to keep young gamers safe – from choosing age-appropriate game modes to setting boundaries around screen time and spending.
