Please help an old mom that isn't very well versed in video games!!
My 8 year old loves Minecraft. He plays on a switch. Yesterday I linked up his account so he could play with one of his buddies. We found the gamertag and they were able to share a world and do what 8 year olds do on Minecraft. I noticed last night he was playing on the TV and it was with presumably the entire world that was on Minecraft. He was of course loving it as I'm sure it's more fun to play with others than just yourself.
Here is my questions. I realize I opened the portal. It was my understanding he could only play with "friends" that we selected and approved. Obviously not the case, at least the way I did it.
Do I shut it down entirely? Can I limit so he can only play with pre-approved friends? From what I could see last night you can't jump in and talk to each other -- is that correct? Inside the Minecraft portal or whatever, what are the dangers of being open to the universe? What is the best way to give my kiddo some freedom as we learn together about online health and safety with Minecraft?
