My sons, 8 and 10 years old, have just got bored of Minecraft. Their friends are all on Clash of Clans or their subproducts. Even worse, they are spending a lot of time just watching Netflix. I'd prefer they were doing something that stimulates more their intellect.
I think MC is a really cool and creative game. A lot better than other videogames. How would I get them interested again?
- MaxLeiter 10y agoHave they tried using mods?
- neves 10y agoSure. They use the Technich Laucher and install mods themselves. They also played a lot of minigames in online servers.
- giancarlostoro 10y agoTry to get them into making their own mods. There's childrens books on just doing that. They would learn programming, and we know that's a rabbit hole that once you're hooked, you may never get out.

- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoTry making it more constrained. I play beta 1.7.3 with no mods, which has a much smaller selection of blocks and resources and makes you be more creative to accomplish the same goals.
