I have 2 little sisters, one of them is 7, and the other one is 8, it is super annoying to have them ask you repeatedly "How do I do this, how do I do that, what I do for this, how do I craft that?" It's annoying and really pisses me off sometimes, we usually play on modpacks and that's when it gets worse, cause my brother and I usually play modpacks and we understand it, but my sisters refuse to NOT play, so I get the question every 5 seconds "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" It's super annoying and I feel where you're coming from.
My brother is older and when we were younger, having two separate profiles for any game never had to be addressed and was always a given. Going back as far as games like NES Zelda (I was 7), my instinct was to start a new character. I guess at those ages (8 and under) everyone is going to be at different stages developmentally.
When it comes to Minecraft, my little brother and sister are the most frustrating things in the world. They only play the game because I do, and they constantly need help. I have to consantly hassle them to stay of my profile, and just use the cracked version. But they get on my profile anyway, and I have to yell at them to get off. Then they run to my mom and yell, "Mommy, big brother won't let me play Minecraft!" Lucky for me my parents understand my desire to keep them off my profile.
They have no idea how anything the game works either. I had to figure out why my little sister couldnt move around in the game, and it turned out that controller sensitivity was at *YAWN*, and that the controls were all set to the left mouse button.
Plus, they ruin everything you build. I let my little brother play on my server, and when I came to check on him, creeprs had blasted so many holes in my house that it looked like swiss cheese.
My brother even ate all the food when we were playing together. Do you know how frustrating it is when someone eats all the food, which is necesary to SURVIVE?
Thank you for listening to my rant, and letting me get rid of all this built up anger.
My daughter has been playing since she was 3 - she is 5 now. All it takes is patience to teach them how to play - that is why we have a dedicated server for younger kids to play on and learn how to play the game. (Currently in Beta)
Think back to when you first started playing video games and how old you were - and how much help you may have needed. Nobody is a pro right from the start.
Feel free to get them their own account and have them sign on to our server where they can build and have fun.
As frustrating as it may be, try to remember that they want to play Minecraft because they want to copy you and be more like you. That's how little siblings act. You don't have to give in all the time, but do try and spend some time with them

My sister is the same is 9 and she is frustrating only she understands the controls, its that she HATES survival. Every time we add a adventure map on the server she plays it first and when I log on I see she is in FULL ENCHANTED DIAMOND armor and I say "Where did you get that?" and she says "I found it in a chest" but then when I check the server log it says "pony108: changed gamemode to creative" She hates survival. She always wants to play creative and I got sick of creative for a while so I played survival and she ruined it with her love of creative mode.
I have a similar problem - basically, you have to either A. establish some ground rules about what they can and cannot do on your account, or B. change your password, if your siblings are so idiotic/little/hyper that they can't comprehend rules. Some examples of ground rules: No multiplayer, no downloading maps or mods (or, at their age, pestering you to download them), and you have to make your own worlds - no using pre-existing ones. If they can't do that, you'll have to use option B.
(My problem: while I am under 18, I'm not the age of these "small children" you're complaining about. I'm good friends with my next door neighbor (my age), and he comes over my house sometimes. Only problem is, he has two little brothers (aged five and six) that come over, like, all the time for some reason (I suspect that my friend's parents don't even know they're at my house.) First question I get when I let them in my room: "Can I play minecraft on your computer?" So annoying xD)
Minecraft is for everyone who can get over the shock of that creeper being so rude after you trying to give it a hug.

Well my litle brother crashed 50 times my minecraft couse he tried to download a mod plus he blew up my diamond palace that i was working on for 2 months
As the youngest brother of 3 brothers, settle down. It's a game. They're your siblings, of course they're going to follow you. If you want them off your account, you're going to have to log out every time.
That kind of sucks. And I might as well agree with you. Although when kids get older and more into there pre-teens they understand what Minecraft is and how to play it. Your topic probably only applies to kids under 8 years old.
.....last time i let my friends on a server to do a survival they built svasticas around my house and blocked chests by putting obsidian on them.....not that i got revenge...not that i destroyed their house.....or something....

Having a bro that beleives in ******* herobrine and brags that he's "so good" at pvp is WAY more annoying
