Every time I watch my 5 year old playing Minecraft...

This is more like my 6 year old watching me play. "I didn't scream because I was scared, daddy. It was a scream to let you know there was a creeper over there."

jjesusfreak01 · 11 months

This is pretty much me watching Coes Quest or some of the other LPs...

My daughter (6) and I play the same world, but we take turns and play independently. I build mansions, bridges, redstone machines and minecars, fight mobs, tunnel deep and gather materials. Then I switch to peaceful, push her chair up to the desk and leave the room. She can close the game herself when she's done. When I play again, there are new fields of flowers, paintings have been hung in unusual locations and there are giant mushrooms everywhere. I find quirky little houses build out of sand and dirt, artistic sculptures of glass and water, steps leading in Escher-like directions. And much to her amusement, she always leaves me standing on top of my roof - lately covering her tracks to conceal how she got up there. I couldn't be happier.

Bah, for making me miss Firefly again (yes I'm aware the shot it most likely from Castle, I don't follow the show).

My younger brother loves Minecraft (He's 9) Everyone seems to love the game... apart from my parents. Mum: 'I don't get it' Dad: 'The graphics are horrible!'

My server has been working on Serenity. It's an almost complete, scale re-creation of the ship itself. Whenever I'm at that part of the map and it becomes night, I like sleeping in Kaylee's quarters. GIGGITY.

EDIT: WIP

This is applicable to 5 year olds doing anything

lol, i showed the game to my 5 year old niece, she preferred to lay down wood blocks scattered in a circle and then make up a story about how they make a good house. also she layed a leaf block on the ground and explained to me that it was a duck trap.

You turn into Nathan Fillion when your five-year-old plays Minecraft? That's... AWESOME.

Amusingly, we have a /warp kidzone on the Minecraft Australia server. My 6yo daughter plays there, as does the 5yo daughter of another mod. They both get on the mumble server and chat away happily to each other (they've never met, and they're over 1000km apart). My 2yo son gets on and plays too - but he seems to just enjoy digging holes, and then asking for help to get out of them. Oh. And killing cows. Killing cows is, apparently, his life ambition. He runs up to them going MOO MOO chop HAHahahahahahahahahah.

Kids are funny.

(If you want to actually get your kid involved, message me here and we'll try to tee up a time that's convenient for all of us. We're GMT+10 and GMT+11, being in Australia)

This is my 5 year old.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/l7z87/hey_reddit_my_5_year_old_girl_plays_minecraft_and/

I just let her do her own thing on creative. She found an NPC village, covered it with lava buckets. She's constantly on a quest to find more "doggies" and she even has her own idea's for minecraft.

She's even getting the grasp of redstone circuits. She still doesn't quite get what the various gates do, but she does know that the redstone needs a switch or power source. She mostly plays around with pistons and doors.

I don't really think there is a right or wrong way to play it. I just let her have her own fun.

This was me watching Jens' hardcore livestream.

I am not a clever man. Where is this famous GIF actually from?

abbiistabbii · 11 months

Whenever I see a five year old I remember that this child does not remember the 90's and was born when I was 15. On top of that I can have a conversation with this child.

This un-nerves me.

MarioDude76 · 11 months

Digging dirt with a pickaxe? NOOOOOOOO

gustoid · 11 months

My 6yo grandson watched me and wanted to play Minecraft. I bought him an account and setup a server for both of us. I built him a big house with a giant waterslide out back. As soon as he got inworld, all he wanted to do was FIGHT!!!!

I let him get me a couple of times then I killed him. He simply re-spawned and came running at me, bare fisted. Kill kill kill. I just bopped him repeatedly until he got sick of respawning.

Finally, he got the idea, it's not all about killing the other guy. I took him for a walk into the wilderness. It got dark, I suggested we make some digs. I began by knocking out a small tunnel and by 6 blocks in he killed me with his diamond sword. "Hey buddy, you're on your own now".

After getting dizzy watching him jump and spin, not watching where he was going, falling down holes and saying I have to die to get home, I gave him a compass. He got home.... eventually... after a very long time.

It's the same with my 13-year old brother. Kid's been playing for ages though, still makes me facepalm.

Milesaaway · 11 months

My 7-year old brother teaches ME things about minecraft every once in a while, the kid is either on youtube, garrys mod or minecraft.

asharwood · 11 months

I especially do that watching people play SkyBlock or survival island. What? why? who...who builds a cobblestone generator next to a tree.

9babydill · 11 months

e.g. watching Bronze league Starcraft II.

okinpa · 11 months

My 5 year old LOVES minecraft! Part of me wants to set him up with his own account (he uses mine) and let him join a server, but wow, I can only imagine what that would be like. Maybe we should set up a kids of minecraft server and let them go nuts.

Naylor · 11 months

i once sat for five minutes watching my friend i let try it punching a tree thinking you had to click rapidly.

lachy2901 · 11 months

I would just let him do his own thing Damn, I never thought about it but Minecraft would be such a good learning tool for youngsters

Aitrus233 · 11 months

That's me watching most other people play video games.

bvanman · 11 months

Ha tell me about it. I have a 6 year old neighbor that I let play MC when he comes over, and it's very frustrating watching him play. I must say, it's a really good game for a youngin' though. He just comes up to me and tells me what he wants to do, and I say, "Okay Will, let's make a checklist first! So you want to build a wall, so first you need to make sure you have a pickaxe, then go collect stone...".

squidboy101 · 11 months

You summed up a nightly experience for me. You also made me and my wife snort kudos good sir huzzah.

I feel the same way when I watch Toby from Tobygames watch Minecraft.

spydereleven · 11 months

Yes, this is my reaction too. But I was more interested in seeing what he'd create. I loved his buildings of dirt, sand, unrefined iron, and the like. :) I saved his first world for posterity, (which he worked on for two months).

BipolarHernandez · 11 months

Exactly how I feel when watching my nephew play.

I do this with my children regardless of the game; it took a little to learn to shut up and let them play.

strebalicious · 11 months

When my son was playing Deus Ex, he was trying to play it like CoD et al. Meaning, he was coming out from the safety of cover to try and aim down the sights of the gun. Needless to say, I couldn't keep quiet.
