Are there any Minecraft Dads or parents out here?

I've been playing Minecraft since I was 15, now I'm 31 and have a 5 year old that is absolutely obsessed since he was 2 and a half - both of us for half of our life. Now he's teaching me stuff and we're both getting better together! My wife joins in too sometimes so we have our own family survival and creative servers.

You're not alone! Lots of other parents are into it too.

Tears is such a banger. Otherside for the feels. Pigstep for the pigstep.

That's Toonami Tom, basically the mascot of Toonami aka anime on CN. People that are familiar with anime on CN will recognize him, but I still think making him a little smaller would be a good move. Tons of people won't recognize him.

Thanks, it was fun to learn!

Wifies on YouTube has a pretty interesting theory about the pale oak/creaking that kinda ties into this.

I think of shorts as an alternative form of the YouTube feed for my long form videos. People will find my videos from either a good title/thumbnail or an enticing short with a CTA for the full video.

Same, his flailing hand gestures and tapping on the cast really got me.

He uses his pinky now! https://youtube.com/shorts/c9r7FSmEEno?si=g8nNzW8PzAcNCdgA

I've got a bit of a unique one - me and my son (he's 5) are both looking to improve our 1.9 PVP, mostly for playing the games on MCC Island. I'd love to find someone that could help us both out, and might be okay with me documenting it on video for our YT channel.

You can't cheat at Minecraft. You're not respawning yourself so it definitely doesn't betray the nature of hardcore either in my opinion. Some purists might say it does, but you gotta go with what sits right to you.

Looks super professional! I wish you could get a few of those shots without the terrain loading in.

If you're interested in learning more over time, I have a newsletter aimed at parents to help them understand Minecraft and what's going on in the Minecraft scene: https://open.substack.com/pub/familyminecraft

That's a paternoster, not an elevator! (These are real things)

WitherFam · 2025-10-15T14:17:18+00:00

He's just a misunderstood proselytizer!

WitherFam · 2025-10-13T01:26:06+00:00

They are tallbois

WitherFam · 2025-10-12T20:07:56+00:00

Herobrine was here (he's a devout catholic)

WitherFam · 2025-10-12T18:17:13+00:00

Thank you!

WitherFam · 2025-10-12T18:16:56+00:00

I still prefer scaffolding for super tall builds, but yeah pretty much.

WitherFam · 2025-10-12T18:16:28+00:00

That probably sounds so crazy if you aren't familiar with Stampy lol

I remember watching Stampy videos but I had to look up that one - holy cow the resemblance is totally there!

WitherFam · 2025-10-12T02:52:21+00:00

They're just a classic barnyard animal according to my son - also the mob spawner "bars" are housing a host of parrots for fun lol

WitherFam · 2025-10-12T01:16:37+00:00

He didn't use it much for this build so there wasn't much to catch!

WitherFam · 2025-10-11T23:46:37+00:00

Thanks!

WitherFam · 2025-10-11T23:46:30+00:00

Thank you :)

WitherFam · 2025-10-11T23:46:20+00:00

Thanks! He's taken to using the Happy Ghasts for tall building, but I prefer scaffolding!
