Minecraft is generally considered safe for kids, as it is a family-friendly game that can be played by kids aged 7 to 13, depending on the version. However, it’s still vital for parents to monitor their kids' online interactions and make sure they are not sharing personal information with strangers. It’s also important for parents to encourage children to play on servers that have strict rules against bullying and have open and regular conversation with kids about their online activities.
