Set up Minecraft more safely

7 minutesModerate

1. Family settings

Add the child’s Microsoft account to a family group and review Xbox privacy and online-safety permissions.

2. Multiplayer

Decide whether the child may join multiplayer games, add friends and communicate by voice or text.

3. Servers and purchases

Use trusted, age-appropriate servers or private Realms. Require approval for Marketplace purchases and review reporting tools.

Final check: confirm privacy, communication, account protection, content, purchases and reporting tools. Review settings again after major app or game updates.
