“I didn’t think they could! I have all that disabled!” “I thought you said they couldn’t interact with other people!” This was no ordinary villager.Ĭhris and I looked at each other, wide-eyed. Oh look! There’s Stella!!”Ī Minecraft girl walked up and got right in his face, with the name “Stella” floating above her head. Chris was about to get up and go in Ali’s room when some words popped up on Noah’s screen that we had never seen before. One night last week, Noah, Chris and I were laying in bed doing the Minecraft-before-bed routine. Sometimes we even watch Minecraft YouTube videos – because there’s nothing more exciting than watching videos of other people playing a game I don’t get. I typically cuddle with Noah, and Chris with Ali. If a child’s inherent goodness can be determined by how they treat their Minecraft Villagers, it might be safe to go ahead and lock my kids up for life.Įvery night at bedtime, they wanted a few minutes of quality snuggling time – with us and Minecraft. “Look Mom! I just burned an entire village up with lava!” Their deviant side definitely showed through in their Minecrafting. And a game that you could hit a sheep a few times and watch him die. To them, it was simply a free-play building game. I knew there was a way for them to interact with others through the game, but I made sure that option was turned off. I watched them play, I watched them build, I watched them explore their worlds. (Apparently all of the structural genes are passed down through their structural engineer father.) But it was just mindless building for me, as is Lego. I wanted to understand – I really did – so I put it on my iPhone as well and attempted to learn. And all this is despite the fact that they only get an hour of screen time a day. He goes to bed telling me about the over-underworld (whatever that is.) They check out Minecraft library books to hone their skills. I put it on their iPads, and they were infinitely sucked into the vortex of Creepers and Item Frames and spawning Sheep. Since that day, my children have been continuously and absolutely obsessed with Minecraft. This sentence, spoken by a very naïve version of myself sometime last year, solely goes to prove that “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is a LIE. It’ll be a great time, so come along! Find out all about the event over at the Sydney Opera House site.“You know, I bet you and the kids would really love Minecraft, as much as y’all are into Lego.” Our very own Lydia Winters and Jens Bergensten will take the stage for a special presentation, too! Learn about learning itself in the Education Zone, or turn up dressed to impress the judges of our costume competition.

If battling elite ‘crafters sounds too intense, there are plenty of other things to do and see: get cracking and make new friends in the Free Play Zone, or find a photo op in the Petting Zoo. There are a few different tiers of ticket, depending on whether you want to take part in Australia’s first official Minecraft Competition, cheer on a friend, or simply check out the show. There are several events running across Sunday July 2 and Monday July 3, and you can get tickets from Sydney Opera House’s site. It’s a fitting venue to witness the epic fantasy of Minecraft unfold, take part in the drama of competition, and mingle with superstars, dev-team divas and like-minded ‘crafters!
We’re not quite ready to reveal what’s happening with MINECON this year - but those Down Under are welcome to attend an all new event held in collaboration with the Sydney Opera House.
