Just a question out of curiosity I'm 21 and all my friends think I'm a huge dork so I was just curious about how many of us are young and how many are above eighteen. Also if you've been playing for awhile when you started. I've only played for about half a year myself and I am totally addicted lol
By that logic then a lot of youtubers are dorks. Some of which are very famous! I'm 13 and I've played for over a year. I have known about it since 2011 though.

My new survival journal is out! Come check it out here! All readers are appreciated!
Since there's several of you in the big 4-O club I'll fess up: I'm 42. Usually on gaming forums I just say I'm in the 35+ club and leave at that. I think there are elements of MC that are aimed at younger players but it really is based on ideas that have been a part of many hobbies that adults have always liked, like scale model building and tinkering. When I was younger, I'd design stuff on graph paper and build it to scale with pieces I cut from balsa wood, but I haven't the time, space or money for a very long time. So MC lets me get back into that. Being creative helps me manage my depression that I've struggled with pretty much all my life.
I'm only 14, but started when I was only 12. However, my brother still plays and he's 17. I believe anyone is "old enough" to play and enjoy minecraft.

Some of my 2nd grade students play it, and they're 7 and 8 years old. Of course they're all like "Ms. B., you gotta do PVP and build castles and forts and kill a bunch of zombies!!!!!" and I'm like "I like building houses and farms." LOL. There's even some people who think MC should be used in middle schools to help kids develop math skills, planning skills and spatial-temporal reasoning. I think they already begun trying that out in Sweden.
Reading your post was a bit spooky ORabbit..Same age here and I also suffer from depression (my "Black Dog" made an unwelcome return very recently..)
Yeah, I can dig it. I'd love to be one of those people who say "Being in my 40s is awesome" but it's not been so great so far. I don't mind getting older--I'm a lot less stupid than I was when I was younger--but man, some things about life at 40 is just the pits, like caring for your aging parents, trying to find better work, financial problems, health issues. And when you already have a history of depression, it's just a struggle. I always been a gamer since my older brother used to take me to arcades back in the early 80's, but I wasn't that active in gaming for most of my 30's. Needing a little fun in my life again is one of the reasons I've gotten back into gaming more regularly. Is it an ecape? Heck yeah, it is. With my life, I need one.
I am 36 and i play minecraft since 1.6 (the old one) before adventure update. I sometimes bought me another game but i every time come back to minecraft and lose the interest on the other games. I can play minecraft for days and weeks without losing it.. other games, i play couple lvl's and i don't want to play them anymore
That's pretty awesome once a gamer always a gamer. I agree with everyone MC has elements almost everyone can enjoy so it seems unlike most games to have any specific age group.
46, nearing 47, and I'll admit I take minecraft way too seriously, planing things right down to the last detail, from creative builds to survival farms. I spent almost all my free time on MC, if just blasted work would stop getting in my way!
I'm 32 and started playing when it got released for the 360, now I have moved on to the PC version, though I still play it on the 360 when my kids play it on there.

Well the only things on here older than me are Dirt and Tw2Brick.
will be 54 this year and this August will be my 3rd August since I first tried the demo on the Xbox. Have owned a copy of the Xbox version since that night. Purchased the pc version 3 months later and last year started on the IPad. Most if my time is spent playing on the 360 version.
I play with my grandkids 8 and 10 and have since getting the game so I would agree with the others on here that this game has no age limitations.
When I have to checkin to the retirement home there will be Minecraft or I will not be there long.

Work is the pits. I hope whoever invented is rotting in hell.
I'm an over-planner too (I have Aspergers so that contributes to it). In my more recent game I've been running around for about 2 in-game weeks, how died once, been nearly killed about 6 other times when I switched off Peaceful mode, have four nearly full double chests stashed at a nearby village, another double chest hidden in a dungeon...and I'm still sleeping outside with my donkey because I can't find a place I like for my permanent house because it needs to be a "good" spot for my planned farm. One would think at my age I would've learned to just let it go by now, but no. Never. My farm will be glorious! (When I eventually get it built)

I love it when parents and grandparents play with their kids and grandkids!
