My kid is 7 and autistic and suddenly he has started liking Minecraft. He’s watched me play it and wants to play himself.
How can I get him started? Do I just give him the laptop and trust he can figure it out or do I find a way to explain the controls?
My absolute dream would be to spin up a server with him.
The easiest route is to just download the game and show them how to play. It’s a simple enough game it should be easy to pick up the controls. Maybe set the game to peaceful for a while until they get the hang of basic movement and mining and stuff. The combat can be a bit difficult even for a regular gamer depending on what RNGesus throws at you your first night.
