My daughter once downloaded a game called “Block Craft 3D” essentially a very bad minecraft rip off. After watching her play for a while, I said, there’s not much to do on here, why don’t we pay for actual minecraft? She was against it. Thought Block Craft 3D was the best. I purchased it, downloaded it. Started playing on my own. When my daughter saw just how much more amazing it was, she also downloaded and logged on. Created our Microsoft accounts.
My daughter actually didn’t want to play in creative mode in the beginning. We played in survival mode on the normal setting. Yes we got blown up a few times on our first mornings together without beds in dirt huts on the side of a mountain. But eventually we did learn how to dispatch the enemies and repairing house became a normal thing until we figured out how to draw them away. We made secret entraces so we could lure them away from the house or attack from behind. The first few nights we didn’t know about beds yet so we would just make a oak hatch in the top of the house and look at the stars and the moon pass over. Watch sunsets sunrises together. We’ve built many houses since then and go back to them all .
Our first Real house was the Pink house, made from cherry wood. Then, we had the Farm houses linked with a roof path between houses. Then, the lava area houses with my unfinished stairway to heaven. Then the lumberjack houses. The Amazing Giant Treehouse. Crossing the ocean to find sea turtles at our lighthouses and greenhouse. Our bee farm , pillager outpost house. When we found our first village, which took over 800 in game days, we built the kingdom, which we are at now and getting ready to go to the nether. It’s been a wild experience and going back to our first abandoned houses brings back memories of our first nights watching the moon pass over our hatch with that iconic soundtrack playing in the back…

This is so incredibly wholesome. 12 year old me tried playing minecraft with my mom but all she did was just going on about how screens are bad for you. I wish there were more parents who truly engage in their children’s hobbies
thats actually so cute stop
I am having a similar experience with my 6 year old. He is actually bringing me out of my comfort zone after I convinced him to play survival with me. I built my house and put down my roots, and all he wants to do when he joins me in my world is explore. He even makes sure we take beds with us so we can make it through the night more easily.
I love this so much ❤️ I started playing with my daughter when she was 12 and it’s something we’ve bonded over. She’s 21 now and works 2 jobs but still manages to spend a few hours a week to play with me and it means the world to me (although, she did almost burn down the wooden survival base I had just finished with a poorly placed lava garbage disposal 🙄). Cherish these moments OP, they’re gone before you know it. At least we have these worlds to keep our memories in.
