Trying out #Minecraft for the 1st time with 5yo. No idea what& #39;s going on. We just killed a cow with our bare hands.
He just hit a pig with a steak until it died.
Now he& #39;s drowning himself trying to kill a fish with a pork loin.
It& #39;s been a couple of weeks and 5yo has gotten pretty great at #Minecraft now!

After a few concerning days of murderous rampage, he discovered he could tame cats. Cue spawning a million cats and setting up a crazy cat lady (gentleman?) house.
Exciting #Minecraft update! He& #39;s discovered taming wolves and is now roaming the countryside with his ENORMOUS wolf pack siccing them on any poor creature that dares cross their path.
The most adorable bit is after each "mission" they have a graduation ceremony where he tells them they& #39;re all "Good Boys!" and then dyes the collars of the MVPs in karate belt ranks https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen">
2yo misunderstands the name #Minecraft and thinks 5yo is saying it& #39;s *MINE*. 2yo subsequently refers to it as "5yo& #39;s Name" Craft! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">

Tragedy in the wolf pack! He& #39;s discovered a dog lead and keeps accidentally flying and dragging them to their deaths. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">
He& #39;s now spawning NPCs purely to set his wolves on them.

5yo currently blowing up zombies in #Minecraft while singing TNT by @ACDC.

@GhostHause has taught him well.
Thought it would be fun to show 5yo some @pewdiepie #Minecraft videos. Now he& #39;s narrating everything he& #39;s doing -but he& #39;s no Pewds. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">
He& #39;s discovered placing multiple juke boxes and playing different songs on each. Save me.

He& #39;s left his bee farm and taken up residence in an abandoned village.

5yo is inisting I ring @Mojang RIGHT NOW and tell them to add penguins to @Minecraft. It& #39;s very important.
He& #39;s literally waiting.
He ate a pufferfish and his vision went all wobbly. Ended up explaining posion and alcohol to a 5yo. It& #39;s weird the conversations #Minecraft makes you have https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">
He built a snow lab and went on a huge snowman building bender. They kept wandering off, so I suggested building a pen to keep them safe. I had it in my mind as more of a snowman paddock, where they were free to roam, but he made these creepy little containers instead https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">

5yo: I made a trap for monsters who try to come in my house. I put a fire behind the door, so when they come in they& #39;ll fall in the fire -but then my house went on fire.

#Minecraft problems.
Me: Whatcha building there, pal?

5yo: It’s to protect my kitties from bad guys coming in the house.

Me: Oh yeah? How does it work?

5yo: This is a book that they have to sign before they can come in and if they put a *burglar name*, this TNT will blow them up.
Asked him what a "burglar name" might be and he said "BAD GUY".

We got a add on pack with cute pets and a city. Instead of playing with adorable pets, he& #39;s declared himself "King of the Skeletons", spawned a black skeleton army and made a motorbike out of scrap.

#Minecraft
He& #39;s invaded some poor persons mansion and filled the pool with black skeletons. The way they& #39;re all writhing around in there is serious nightmare fuel.

Take that 1%er?
Oh, and that little stand you see in the background is his store. He discovered how to make banners, so he set up a shop.

He tells me he& #39;s not killing *everyone*, so they can come to his shop. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤨" title="Gesicht mit hochgezogener Augenbraue" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit hochgezogener Augenbraue">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">

He spawned a metric crap-ton of guinea pigs and mice in his house. The squeaking was so loud, it even drove *him* mad! He decided he wanted them gone, but it was taking too long to exterminate them by hand. I suggested adding cats to take care of them...
Me: Are the cats helping?

We tried #Minecraft survival yesterday. I set it to easy, assuming it would be the same as creative, where the mobs don& #39;t attack.

I kept telling 5yo to make a house before nightfall, but he decided making sticks and finding pumpkin seeds were the absolute priority (no idea why)
Night fell and it turns out the mobs very much DO attack. Zombie appears. Cue screaming. I encorage him to hit him with one of his millions of sticks. Zombie dies! Happy tears! Then another zombie jumps him from behind and finishes him off.
He screeched in fear like we do when a #ResidentEvil zombie jumps us, but this thing is just a rubbish box with box arms. Poor little guy was traumatized. Lots of tears and cuddles later, I realize I can set it to "peaceful" so there& #39;s no baddies.
He made me wander around for a bit, until he was convinced it was safe.

Once he took over again, he almost immediately fell into a deep chasm. I estimated digging our way out through solid rock with nothing but sticks was going to take at least 10mins.
After a short stand off about who was going to do it, (fuck that!) we booted up creative mode again. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">
The door on the side is the exit and only opens from the inside.

To find the entrance you have to go all the way to the steps at the end of the laser beam and walk along the glass bridge!
5yo: Last night I was dreaming that I killed @pewdiepie and took all his stuff before he respawned!

5yo& #39;s current YouTube obsession is a chap called @dantdm.

He found a guide to make a "plushie" of him in #Minecraft, then went the extra mile and turned it into a POP Vinyl.
