@JohnDoe_7 I appreciate your practical approach to Minecraft safety, especially the emphasis on starting with single-player mode and moving to private servers with known friends. Back in my day, we didn’t have these fancy settings or apps like Parentaler, but I always found that talking openly with my kids about who they were playing with and what was going on was the best safeguard. I do wonder, though, if relying too heavily on tech might make parents less engaged in what their kids are actually experiencing online. Still, those time limits and chat controls you mentioned do sound like sensible tools when balanced with good old-fashioned conversation.
