My daughter is 6 but trust me when I say she knows what she's doing :). I am in fact learning from her! She plays MC on xbox 360, on her computer as well as the mc pocket edition on her ipad.
I have to admit, I told her this game is too painful for your eyes :), little did I know I'd get hooked on this as well
I have a 4 now 5yr old who has been playing for a year. Minecraft is one of the few games he can actually play, (if building a one block tower to level 64 is playing) and he has built many things that I'm not what they were suppose to be, but he has fun doing it. Of course we have to take it off of "Creeper Mode" (any non peaceful setting) but as most of the family plays that way (the cheaters), he has plenty of opportunity to play.

However the flipside of that is the early worm gets clobbered!

My kids are 13, 12 and 3, I'm in my 30s and we all play. What I love about this game is it's appeal to ALL ages and the ability to change difficulty settings so that everyone is able to play. The huge age gap between the older two and the younger one means that there aren't too many games that they like playing together - older ones get bored with the younger ones "silly" games and the younger one struggles to understand the older ones games. There is definitely no age limit on this game!
My almost 6yr old son is VERY into this game too, he's pretty awesome at it! I'll send an invite to you guys, he's always wanting someone to play with him It will be coming from: TheAutoTech (he uses my husband's GT)
When I first introduced my three kids (then 13,10 and 8) to MC, we spent quite some time in the tutorial world. I had my own world that I played on after they were in bed that I used mostly for perfecting things to show them(It was pre- creative mode). Having resources readily available and letting them see the types of things that were possible to build helped give them ideas of their own.
Almost all of the original buildings in the TW got torn down at some point for other projects, but it increased the learning curve so that now when we all start a world together everyone already has an idea of what they want to do and build.
What is your daughter's age.If she is too small,she should not play.
While I agree with others who have already said that very young people can play Minecraft, I can also appreciate your statement. There are some very real risks with very young children playing online with people they don't know very well and I certainly wouldn't be just advertising for random players for a small child. Even in a local game, very small children can be very vulnerable to being bullied and griefed by older children. When smaller children are playing, we always play online and there is an adult playing to provide help and guidance to the younger players and supervise the activity.

Retired StaffAt what age shouldn't someone play Minecraft?
Even a very small child can have fun building things in creative mode. It's like a giant set of Legos.

@Akynth, thank you.
