Minecraft gameplay involves players interacting with the game world by placing and breaking various types of blocks in a 3D environment. Users can build creative structures, creations, and artwork on multiplayer servers and single player worlds across multiple game modes. While Minecraft may be used for educational purposes, players can encounter bullying, inappropriate chats and other content, and even viruses when downloading 3rd party add-ons for this game. Police have warned that predators can prey on and groom children in online video games, like Minecraft, if kids are playing the public/online version without parental supervision.
