texmom777 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have two Minecraft crazy boys (10 & 12). They've been asking me to find Minecraft related videos, websites, servers, etc. Can anyone recommend anything kid-friendly? Thank you!

frankcassiesmom Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I will come back tomorrow after my kids wake up. All my kids are Minecraft addicts. My 12yo is REALLY into reading video game blogs and watching certain youtube channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkwynn Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 My kids wake up asking if the Minecraft update has happened yet. (xbox) Every. Single. Morning. They are so hopeful that this will be The Day. Every. Day. I guess today is supposed to be The Day. This better be SOME update... :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 IT HAPPENED!!! Apparently Minecraft was updated at 2 a.m. We now have Creative Mode. You may now go on with your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morningxmorning Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Are all of you using it on iPad or on your computer. I downloaded the "lite" version for my son but he's having difficulty with the controls. Is the computer version (or full paid app version) better?

I think the pecking order is (Best to worst) Computer XBox iPad/iPhone We only have xBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernm Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 We have computer and ipad versions. The kids don't seem to mind the differences since they only play in creative mode. We had too many issues with servers in survival mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded the "lite" version for my son but he's having difficulty with the controls. Is the computer version (or full paid app version) better? iPad full version has the same controls as lite, but is better. However, it is easier to do things on the computer version because you have a proper controller (mouse/trackball) *and* keyboard. We first played the lite iPad app, then the full iPad, at which time we decided we liked it so much we bought three computer licenses. :D All six of us play it (the kids all seem to be addicted to it). I have never used the xbox version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morningxmorning Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks for the responses. I think I'll upgrade the iPad version and maybe upgrade to Xbox later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
