  • Only join servers recommended by parents or trusted friends
  • Never share personal information in chat, even with "friends"
  • Report griefers and bullies to server moderators
  • If something feels wrong, tell a trusted adult right away

Watch Out for Fake Downloads!

Only download Minecraft from official sources (minecraft.net). Fake download sites can install viruses or steal your account. If someone offers free Minecoins or "hacks," it's always a scam!
