my two young kids are the gamers and I'm not too keen having them in worlds with adults being able to chat with them. I found out there are some kid friendly servers out there that I want to add but I want mineplex, lifeboat and nova space deleted from the list.
I created an xbox account to purchase some mashups for them but if I log out, not giving them access to those servers, they also cannot access the mashups.
Can anyone PLEASE guide me on how to delete these three servers? There is not a thing on the internet on how to do it, I wasted hours last night trying to find something, anything.
I emailed support through mojang and their answer was to log out of the Xbox account. If I do that, my kids can no longer play the mash ups.
And, those servers ARE NOT safe. I was on there for a total of 15 minutes just looking at the chat screen just to see if I was worked up over nothing and one person kept repeating, over and over again in different ways, "Is anyone else lonely? I'm lonely."
I cannot believe that they have just added these servers without the ability to delete them. We can remove our own servers, why not these?!?! This is insane!
i agree. parents should be able to decide what their children are exposed to on the internet. on the microsoft account settings page or something like that there is a way to manage family accounts and through that there is a way to disable minecraft multiplayer entirely. however this makes it impossible to play minecraft(or any other game on xbox live for that matter) over xbox live with people that you know in real life. but that may not be a bad thing as xbox live is(in my opinion) probably not safe for children anyway. in all reality it should be up to the parents as to what their children are allowed to be exposed to, and microsoft and mojang just havn't done a good job of implementing a system where this is possible with minecraft yet. i would wait a while for microsoft and mojang to implement such a system and fix some of the bugs in minecraft and then come back and do some testing and see if the issue has been resolved
EDIT: oh dear. i don't actually think disabling multiplayer in family settings works. i just encountered a bug where my minecraft on my tablet though that the multiplayer was disabled and the server still showed up. so @Microsoft please fix this. parents should have better parental control options
EDIT2: i guess if you want the ability to add/remove all servers and not have xbox live i would go with the java edition of minecraft as that edition doesn't use xbox live and has no servers listed by default and the only way to play multiplayer on that version other than servers is over LAN(basicly you have to be connected to the same wifi to play this way)
I reached out to mojang and their simple answer was "log out of your Xbox account." I replied that if I do that my children don't get to play with the mash ups I purchased. Their response, "contact Xbox." For the love...
Totally agree. The corporate push by Mojang, Microsoft, and Xbox for these unsafe servers is inexcusable. Mojang does not understand that Microsoft and Xbox are useless for details of Minecraft. Their scope is handling the accounts, and their purpose is mass profit. Mojang support is account-focused, not on assistance with issues within the Minecraft program and specific games. These million-persons servers are about corporate policy, for profit, and therefore, beyond the scope of tech support persons, programmers, and bug fixers.

They are on kindle fires.
I agree! The servers have entirely too many persons at any given time. There is no way this can be safe, or appropriate, for children!
