#SEXLAB LOLI MOD MODS#
Mods are bits of unofficial modified game code that users can create that add items to the game or change the things that a player can do. Mojang did not respond to our inquiry, but Oakley was aware of the viral rumors and explained how mods work for Minecraft players: We contacted both Minecraft maker Mojang as well as Bec Oakley, the owner of a popular Minecraft web guide for parents called MineMum. Neither of the articles referenced above explained what a Minecraft “sex mod” might be, nor how the process of modifying Minecraft works. The confluence of these circumstances means that if a Minecraft rumor about sexual predators were to spread unchecked, children could be deprived of one of the most enjoyable learning experiences available to them. The writer was appalled that some of the videos were not age-protected, although since those videos are not official Minecraft media, responsibility for their policing rests with YouTube.įew things in 2016 have captivated children like Minecraft (software lauded for its ability to operate as a covert educational platform), and few things have terrified parents more than “sex perverts on the Internet.” Moreover, Minecraft’s popularity with children is often matched only by their parents’ lack of understanding of the game. The Scary Mommy writer similarly reported that she engaged in some “research,” which appeared to consist of viewing YouTube videos about (but not hosted by or affiliated with Minecraft). But then I realized, duh, the kid spends a million hours watching Minecraft YouTube videos. I’ll spare you the rest because I’m a decent human being.Īt first, I was just happy that my 9-year-old, a Minecraft aficionado for many years, doesn’t use the app version of the game. (OK, just one.) I couldn’t get past the “gangsta” Minecraft dude banging a bikini-clad chick in the back room of a Minecraft whorehouse. I could only bring myself to watch a few of the videos. Apparently, in the app version of the game, there is a way to “craft” such cringe-worthy things as pixelated characters getting it on with each other. Fuckity fuck fuck.Ī ton of hits come up, mostly YouTube videos. The popular parenting blog Scary Mommy tackled the topic on 24 October 2016, also presenting information largely unrelated to the functions of Minecraft:Īfter I dropped my kids off at school, I took a deep breath and googled “minecraft sex mods.” And fuck.
(Tips of that sort are standard advice given to parents about Internet safety and have nothing to do with Minecraft specifically.) The mother in question stated she “did a little research,” but that research didn’t pertain to the existence of Minecraft sex mods. The post rattled off purported “stranger danger” statistics unrelated to Minecraft or “sex mods” and advised parents to take the standard steps of “locking down” and/or monitoring their children’s Internet time. (Minecraft pun intended.) And the creepers found my baby. Because, sadly where the kids are, the creepers will follow. We keep the apps they used restricted to the 10 and under age range, and Minecraft falls into this category.Īnd still this happened. We pay attention to how much time they spend online and limit it as well, even detoxing completely from time to time. I thought I was doing my due diligence in the technology department. All I could do was apologize for not protecting her better. There were many tears, half of them from me. She actually wanted me to take away her phone, the portal to this hurt. She felt like it had actually happened to her in real life. The virtual world is so real to our kids. She shared a lot about how she was feeling as a result of this experience that made me want to weep and weep.
She opened up, and told me about the things that appear in apps. Unfortunately, it was my kid who filled me in … I suddenly found myself looking into the tearful eyes of one of my babies who was telling me that, not only was this kid playing Minecraft when she saw this, but she was also propositioned in this “creative mode” room by another player … This child was crushed. Take a minute to Google “Minecraft + sex mod.” I’ll wait … not only did my brain explode, but my heart did as well. On 21 October 2016 a parenting blog published an editorial penned by a guilt-ridden mother about her purported discovery of “sex mods” for the massively popular Minecraft sandbox video game:
