Is Minecraft Safe for Children?

Minecraft is often described as a 'sandbox game.' This means that it's a virtual land where users can create their own worlds and experiences, using building blocks, resources discovered on the site and their own creativity. The game is often referred to as virtual Legos and can be played on a computer, smartphone, tablet, XBox or Playstation.

It was recently discovered that the game played by millions of children and adults contained inappropriate sexual content in the form of "sex mods." Mods are bits of code created by Minecraft players. These codes can change the color of the sky from blue to green or introduce new characters. So what can you do to ensure your child is not exposed to sex mods? Educate your children on safe internet and game use. Click HERE to learn about internet safety more about Minecraft safety!
