Generally immature
I'm fine with them. I know a lot of mature kids and then on the flip side I know a lot of kids who aren't mature. And in the end you can't really do anything about them.

I think Minecraft was originally designed for people of all ages to play, so I'm not all against kids playing Minecraft. I don't really care if they are immature or wannabes (or whatever you like), because that is the nature of being a kid. However, I think there should be certain servers that children (usually between 5-10) shouldn't be going on - servers where players talk about x rated subjects, and use offensive language - because many kids add those *things* to their vocab, and use them inappropriately. And some children hack (surprise!) and cause chaos on servers, and generally disrupt the peace. That, I'm not fine with, I think they should be under custody ( ). But other than that, I'm completely fine with children playing (and addicted to) Minecraft.
That's not a bad thing. It gives me an excuse to watch cringy videos and laugh till I die. By all means, try to trigger Anita as much as possible.
I never go out of my way to anger people unless they make my blood boil with rage, but despite this, I can explode at them from time to time. Usually I just try to have a decent and not too heated argument and then we continue playing.

I think it is totally fine for kids to play Minecraft, but when they come on a server insulting people with no concern for their feelings, and typing in illegible gibberish, then I have a problem.

I'm cool with kids having fun and such when its not hurting anyone. Therefore, I'm neutral to kids playing Minecraft. Its when there're obnoxious online that I have a problem with them playing. Parents really do need to teach some online decorum to their kids though.

Funniest thing ever, lol. I have to say though I myself have impulses to shout this at people sometimes, so I can't really blame the children for doing so XD

my little brother say that this game is not interesting and he said that he won't play anymore. I think there is something not appropriate for that age. he has diffirent thought from ours.
I personally don't mind young children playing on Minecraft, as long as they behave.
In my mind Minecraft is a modern day equivalent of Lego something I played with a lot in my youth.
It helps children imagination to grow, & as they grow & as they get more involved (with stuff like redstone) I believe it helps them figure out solutions to problems, be creative - stuff like that
I've met some young children that are VERY mature for their age - sometime acting better than the 20-30yo. and yes they CAN build better than some of the older builders (me included)
Of course there's the flip side & have met some that just come on & rant, swear & have tantrums when they don't win at a game, or are not given stuff for free straight away, demanding stuff instead of actually playing the game
Many times when one has done something wrong & myself (or one of the other staff) has carefully explained why it wasn't acceptable (we usually give ~3-4 warnings first before dishing out any actual punishments) .. THESE are the ones that seem to spoil it for others
If you don't like them being immature (i.e. acting like children, that thing that they are), go somewhere else and stop pretending it's your community. There are plenty of servers with mature communities. Hell, there are 18+ servers.
The worst people in this community are the ones who act like they have a sacred right to it, and that children (i.e. people the game is predominantly targeted at) have 'ruined it'. It's sad and incredibly rude.

Not liking it when children act immature has nothing to do with someone thinking they own the community. On the contrary, the immature child should be the one to leave the server when multiple people are annoyed with said person.

If you don't like the people on a server, you have every right to leave. You do not, however, have to right to start telling people to leave because you don't like them. This is basic etiquette - they're not being bad, they're just immature, because, you know, they're children. If you don't want to intereact with children you can go somewhere where there are no children, not command that they leave because you don't like how they act.

I have every right to tell someone to leave if they are immature and give off a bad vibe in the community. If I have personal beef with someone, then no, I wouldn't tell them to leave, I just wouldn't talk talk to them and try to avoid trouble. However if they are causing problems in the community and bothering multiple people to where almost if not all the people who talk/interact with them want them to leave, then they should leave or be kicked off. They are causing a problem with multiple people for no reason (at least in this example;they are being immature). Being a child is no excuse for being immature to the point where multiple people want you off the server after they've endured your toxicity for a while. It's not bad etiquette to want/kick them off if this situation is the case. What is bad etiquette though is being to annoying and/or rude after people continuously tell you to change your actions or demeanor. Children don't deserve to do whatever they want and ruin a server just because they are children. I have absolutely no problem with children playing this game ore playing on servers. Unlike most people I don't assume that if someone is being annoying or toxic they are 10 years old. I just don't like the idea that children should be excused for their unwanted actions, if a particular child exhibits them, because they are children.

Do you own the server? Because if you don't, you have no right. If you don't like it leave. It's pretty simple, telling other people to leave will just cause more problems. You have no right to dictate who can and can't play on any random Minecraft server, that's just disrespectful.

Why are you talking about causing problems in the community? I thought we were talking about children. This thread is about children. What, why are you generalising?
They are causing a problem with multiple people for no reason (at least in this example;they are being immature).
All children are immature though. That's not always bad. These are sweeping generalisations.
Being a child is no excuse for being immature to the point where multiple people want you off the server after they've endured your toxicity for a while.
I didn't say it was?
It's not bad etiquette to want/kick them off if this situation is the case.
What would be bad etiquette is telling them to leave when they have just as much right to play as you do. Leave it to the owners, it's not your job to say who can and can't play.
What is bad etiquette though is being to annoying and/or rude after people continuously tell you to change your actions or demeanor. Children don't deserve to do whatever they want and ruin a server just because they are children.
I didn't say they do. What is this?
I have absolutely no problem with children playing this game ore playing on servers.
Why are you talking to me then?
Unlike most people I don't assume that if someone is being annoying or toxic they are 10 years old. I just don't like the idea that children should be excused for their unwanted actions, if a particular child exhibits them, because they are children.

Current question: why on Earth are you arguing with me? All I said was I'm okay with children playing on servers.

Weeeee! Hey Caaaaae, hows it goooing?
Aaanyways, I think that your "sweeping generalizations" aren't toootally accurate. After all, you know someone who was surprisingly older than you, don't you? And personally, I know a lot of little kids that grew up all to fast and now have NO sense of humor.
I'm just not one for "everyone is this" kinda catch-alls so yeah.

The most 'sweeping generalisation' here is that any child can be entirely 'mature'. This is not a black and white case of "they're mature" and "they're immature", it's much more complex. Every child on the planet is somewhat immature. It's kind of what makes them children. Scientifically speaking, a child's brain is not fully developed, and thus is not physically capable of being mature. All children will do childish things and make childish mistakes - they will all be immature.
If you want actual science to back this up, I can do that too. We can just look at the brain itself. The rational part of a human's brain is not fully developed until around about 25 years of age. Some children can be more mature than others. Some can be more mature than some adults. But even the most mature will always be prone to immaturity that even the most dimwitted of adults don't suffer from, because science.
The brain's prefrontal cortex, the role of which is to carry out 'executive functions', makes decisions. It helps you tell right from wrong. It makes you realise when something you're about to do is socially unacceptable. It is what makes you realise that all those annoying immature things are annoying and immature. In essence, that's the difference between these kids people complain about and the rest of us. Want to hear a cool fact about the prefrontal cortex? Remember when I said the brain's about done developing at 25? Well at age 18, the prefrontal cortex is nowhere near as good as at 25. Now imagine a little kid. Their brain is physically not done growing. It is considerably smaller than an adult's.
No generalisations, just science. Peace!

This is somewhat offensive. Imagine seeing someone who says you shouldn't be allowed on a game for your AGE.
Now, I understand if people say that for a game that's E10+ to Adults Only to little kids, but really?
Minecraft is a kids game. It is good that kids play it because it boosts its popularity.
