Hello wattles
no lol

I love how they mention both Java and bedrock but the safety settings only work on bedrock, and they never explain the difference
lol true
Its the more popular platform. The average child will more often have access to a phone/tablet than an entire Person computer or laptop.
@@whateverIwasthinkingatthetimeStill no excuse to not explain the difference
@@whateverIwasthinkingatthetime How's that an excuse to straight up mislead people into believing features exist when they don't?
Are you blind? The settings for parental controllers are detailed outside of the games, in the Microsoft account settings.
Step 1: install forge modloader Step 2: give your child unmonitored access to curseforge and modrinth
step 1: install forge step 2: pc explodes
The only mod my parents allowed was optifine (for shaders and better performance)

Note: this is done from Xbox, not by mojang

I remember one of the developers at Mojang said that xbox doesn't deal with them and they are responsible for everything ( it was time when they add chat reporting )

Ah that makes sense
Do you realize that Mojang is part of Xbox Game Studios? This is made by the Minecraft team at Xbox, which is Mojang. It's all the same thing

He’s gonna add parental controls to Minecraft in the worst way possible
When parents try to understand Minecraft but end up being more confused than before
por favor resolve o bug da armadura que está acontecendo no Minecraft Bad Block as armaduras estão todas invisíveis
No way children will still find a way to loop around all this
Even if they do, that's one step towards at least caring enough to TRY and protect them.
As a teenager i can confirm this
@@LugiDergXLol this is pathetic. Just let kids be kids
There is probably a mod around all this
I found many simple loops around Apple Screen Time so there’s definitely gonna be a lot of easy workarounds. I have no screen time anymore and like long before they removed it I already had easy workarounds. You can probably use a mod workaround. They probably didn’t even encrypt the chat message code yet. Edit: Wait it’s on Bedrock? That probably isn’t a smart idea. You can also just reinstall the app and play without account.
Never thought i'd see the day where minecraft is THIS out of touch with its community lol
Fr
wdym? The fact that most people online know about all this stuff doesn't mean that there are few people that are stuck in the late 90's but are still interested in what their kids (or grand kids) are playing. And if you are talking about the parental control, it all depends on how it is used
Literally how? Giving parents the option to keep their kids from seeing things they don’t want them to see is bad?
@@Yegor_Mechanicthat’s not how you spell depends, also Minecraft doesn’t have parental controls, unless bedrock edition does idk.
@@Dionysus56 Pros and cons of parental control depend on how it is used
I wish they showed off more of how minecraft is educational and not a bad thing to make it easier to convince parents to get it. All the safety controls kind of makes it look insecure and risky for parents that don’t know much.
Agree
Even just mentioning education edition would probably help
its a fantasy sandbox
Idk, I think it's the child's job to explain what Minecraft is and why it is safe.
true
i cant wait for all the kids to use this video to show their parents to convince them to buy minecraft for them

Maybe we shouldn't like this comment, so the parents don't see and get suspicious.

we need a parent guide on HOW to play Minecraft
no, we need the tutorial worlds back
Other people are willing to show you the basics and help you out until you understand it well enough, or indefinitely if that's what you prefer.
The reason why they don't have an official tutorial is because that's what the community is for
Yeah
@@AngelaAmaryllisthey'll say your a failed feature
I feel like the best way to keep your kid safe online is to teach them about online safety, not restrict them. My parents instilled in me enough knowledge that by the time it was my 11th birthday I was basically allowed unfettered access to the Internet including online Minecraft and I was perfectly fine.
Same I was told repeatedly from the age of 5 or maybe even earlier how to be safe online and when I grew up I was able to decide for myself if I wanted to interact online or not and I actually decided it was best for me not to for at least a few years until I knew I was ready and now I have so much fun interacting with people on minecraft and other games.
And don't use devices as a babysitter
Same
11? I was like 4 and I was trusted enough.
@@bRuHIsHere. Well I still had some access to the Internet and everything beforehand. But it was always monitored. By 11 it was 100% unrestricted.
When mojang doesn't know that most of the player base are above the age 13
They are not, also, parental control is still important for children and young teens of any age
under the age of 6*
not at all.

@@Joshplays-Terraria-TheRealThen you can sue them
0:32 Its a game with limitless potential and no set goal while limiting the game for kids
loGiC
Blame Microsoft legal and the fact that people are always looking to sue somebody. There are hundreds of millions of Minecraft players, something sometime is bound to happen that could result in Microsoft being sued for millions of dollars. Parental controls mean that Microsoft has done something to empower parents and are less likely to be sued. (Corporations don't actually care about children or people, they only care about $$)
i dont see what limitations were put in, this was just a microsoft account tutorial

@@vazoth6423 Parents slip up with things like that all the time. Just one sticky note and their account is free.
This is basically just an advertisement for Realms in order to pull more money out of clueless parent's pockets.
So true lol
No
Pretty much. Even the part where they try to sell realms is marked as a sponsored section in my chrome addon that detects them
They just want more people to buy realms even though most people just play on Java servers
What's the name of that add-on? I really need it@@Finnishmanni
mojang can you make a “mojangs guide to making the perfect minecraft update” and talk about 1.16 and it’s design, then you guys watch the video yourselves and then make another legendary update.
brother you said it so well
thats a genius idea
If I ever had a genie and 3 wishes my first would definitely be 5 years worth of legendary updates.
They would talk about how bad the crunch was in that Update even with working on it for 3 years, and how bad of an idea it was to then make an even bigger Update right after that. The way they were doing the Nether Update was not sustainable.
or 1.13
i like how most people watching are not even parents
I've never thought that this would be needed. I've done nothing with my parents involving Minecraft. So of us are just built...that way.
Mojang using java edition for a video first time
What do you mean? He is using java edition always
@@Sandu7231 na they are nearly always use bedrock edition
The superior version
@@nw3473Minecraft is Minecraft, Both are virtually the same
@@daniilfilmsHahaha it’s almost funny how wrong you are.
I can imagine a parent having watched their video after their child asks them to, the parent getting them bedrock edition on the kid's ipad, with full parental controls, and only being allowed to play on non-public servers, and then as the kid grows older, the kid starts getting to play later. Then the kid hears a cave noise at 10 pm one night and never plays the game again.
Just install the game and hop on. This is how we rolled back in the day
0:18 Noted (just in case anyone asks me what Minecraft is, apparently the concept of a game with no set goal is hard for them to grasp)
Exactly
parental guidelines and settings for parents? ima be honest idk what to think about this
These have existed for years, it's just a guide on how to use them
att: the child with strict parents
its only for bedrock so dont worry java users
@@Belt_time_emoji636 it's not just Bedrock, actually. These settings work on Java too, and have been for the last 2 years ever since they switched to Microsoft account.
@@Belt_time_emoji636wrong, I bought java and it restricted me from joining multiplayer, my mom had no idea why, she never chose to do that, amd it took us hours to fix it
1:27 can't imagine why they wouldn't want parents seeing the nether 💀
Haha lol
Cool, an official animation without bare bones :)
I was very much trolled when I thought this was finally a guide to teach parents how to play minecraft 😂
Yeah me too i was hoping to teach my mom
@@raphael4668same lol
This is perfect I was trying to teach my dad how to play last night tysm❤❤
This video doesn’t even say how to place or break blocks. It’s just parental controls
@@EnderThePirate This is general and important information for parents. The rest of the information about the game can be found on the minecraft wiki
it was a joke@@EnderThePirate
This video is truly revolutionary, the Minecraft community will never be the same again. Thank you, Mojang, for giving us such valuable insight. The Minecraft community thanks you greatly.
Dude, this video is clearly not for you, nor is it for me or the vast majority of people here. It's for parents who have no idea about what Minecraft is and want to learn about it before getting it for their kids, simple as that. Not every video is for everyone, that should go without saying.
When this is being written nobody has currently finished this video
YEA BECAUSE NOBODIES GONNA CARE ABOUT DIS VIDEO
Mojang was held at gunpoint to make this...
As an eight year Minecraft veteran, I miss the days when mojang wasn’t so focused on making the game seem like a safe haven for 5 year olds on their iPads playing bedrock and more of an actual pc game with tons of freedom for all players. Not that I hate that there are kids who play Minecraft, nor do I hate the bedrock version, I just wish that they’d at least make the game seem more free like it used to be in terms of what you can do and make at least one version of the game feel less restricted. Like, why did they have to add chat/username/skin reporting to java? Most people who play on pcs aren’t five year olds… I understand that it can be difficult to make such a popular game feel like it’s not just targeting a specific audience, but still, please just remove the java reporting at least… I think the entire java community would enjoy that
1:22 la mejor mansión
Mom: Son don't play online it is dangerous! Me: You clearly don't understand who you're talking to. I AM THE DANGER!
I am so glad you came out with this video cause I never figured out why I can’t use multiplayer on my bedrock edition account

Every day I feel like I'm not the target audience of this game
I love needing multiple accounts for just one game.
Why i think mojang is trying to make the sniffer his mascot?
"it's more kid friendly than the creeper so that's our new mascot"🤓 Someone at mojang probably
Minecraft dungeons x Minecraft. We should be able to combine elements of the game and. like the echo shards to make more complicated things. And some of the Items from minecraft dungeons. I also add a Minecraft For some of us older plays, we Miss the older games. Like Minecraft's story mode. The items Those games minecraft. Like mobs from. Minecraft earth?
Thanks to this I could never play multiplayer on my ps4 because me and my mom couldn't figure out the settings and support didn't respond, amazing!
I think minecraft should add a tutorial in the game which comes at the start of creating a new world and you have the option to don't show it again for pro players to not be annoyed. This will help many new players to know the basics of the game and not just only move around.
I remember the old tutorial world on the Xbox 360 they should bring it back
they do have a tutorial but who would go into SETTINGS to find a guide???
My parents dont understand and dont want to deal with this sort of stuff, so I had to figure it out all on my own. Especially when they cracked down on the rules and locked me out of online playing. I did ask for help, but my parents didnt want to. I know all the work arounds now, and do the same for my brother
I think realms or servers on bedrock should have a option to allow or not swearing because on my realm, it’s all adults playing the game and not get access removed from every thing
exactly, mojang doesnt know that most of minecrafts player base is above 10, everyone youger just watchs lankybox on their ipads
@@vijaytamishra453Sadly that's not that true, most players are indeed kids. The older ones are the active communities that speak out about stuff mojang has been doing. Kids stay silent because they still have no idea that the game actually has a community, they just see minecraft as a cube game and nothing else.
Bedrock is kids java plays are older
@@MrBrineplays_ unfortunatly, your right, but still, if you are an older player it would still be nice to have a swear toggle for realms plus or java server
It would be great if there was an add on changing the game to Palworld or maybe a different version/FPS/MMO People have wanted this since the beginning. mojang van do this. More creatures, more AI, more automation, more FPS.
I thought this would be a guide for parents on how to play Minecraft
Yea, Great... Parental control in minecraft is the solution to all the game's problems 👍 Really like how Microsoft commits to improve the game itself
I like it when all of the villagers went in the house it was funny 😂
my grandpa of 87 Years old plays Minecraft, ill add some settings to his game because hes pretty young for play Minecraft
I was thinking the same thing. There needs to be a special type of account for very old people, which would be maintained by thier younger family members. Old people are just as vulnerable, if not more so than kids.

@@user-mt6ko6mb9he said young on purpose to seem sarcastic

It was a deliberate desicion to not show the Nether, End or the Deep Dark in this video

"what's that? A portal? Magic? NOOOO THAT'S BAD FOR MY KID!"
honestly it was about time u guys did this, i cant understand why u took such a long time in presenting the game uve been preparing so much for parents just to not launch a guide for them to convince them on whether they should but it or not
I am a 5-year minecraft veteran, and I still didn't know about how you can change settings like so. I told my parents that it would be too scary for my little brother to play minecraft with hostile mobs in it. I told them to change it to peaceful mode. I forgot to tell them that changing to peaceful mode isn't in the privacy settings. After like 15 minutes, they told me to come and show them where the peaceful mode setting is. They didn't know that they had to open the game 😂

If Minecraft added a microphone feature, it would definitely be more exciting and easier to communicate via microphone if you use another application to play while using a microphone from another application.
HOLD UP, THIS IS NEEDED???
no
There needs to be a series of this where they explain that this game is too complicated for us to fully explain
Have you ever thought about how big minecraft trees are. One block is one meter (3.2 feet), and the trunk of the tree is one block(one meter or 3.2 feet). Which means a minecraft tree trunk is a full meter wide, which is pretty big for a tree if you think about it.
Minecraft is a world of adventures that I, and I don't know if you, love the music of the Background that I even want to cry because of so much melancholy of the piano and the instruments they use for the music. Minecraft is not just a game, it's more than that.

It’s better just to give them a talk about online safety, not restrict them on it. I grew up a lot on online minecraft stuff.
Oh so minecraft is finally adding parental controls, now with this feature enabled it’s guaranteed to keep children safe!
The only problem we have with minecraft is how to play it in vr and how to set it up

Yep this is *definitely* gonna work
bro forgot to mention the atrocities you can commit against villagers
I really love all these features but one feature I would want to be added in Minecraft Bedrock Edition or Pocket Edition is the ability to pause the game since the save and quit feature didn't work well for me since I died with all my stuff without knowing why.I would really want thus to be considered in the next update.With pause feature in MCBE it can make the playing experience much better and relaxing at most while keeping that adventurous feeling like when you are in the Nether.And when I also died in the nether,in my inventory is 2 years of hard work in the mines and perfect enchanted tools but all of that is gone in just a bliss just because of the lack of that feature.

Ahh, yes, advertising realms.

I hate how they add sniffers in almost everything now, forgetting simple mobs loke cows and pigs.
