So, this morning the internet decided to throw a curveball my way that I initially brushed off. Apparently, Minecraft has a user-generated sex mod? Not exactly the kind of thing I wanted to digest with my oatmeal and coffee at 7:30 a.m. on a Monday, while simultaneously battling sleep deprivation and the grumbling of my kids over sock-wearing.
Honestly, hasn’t 2016 been filled with more than enough cringe-worthy moments? Can’t we keep at least one thing innocent and wholesome?

Evidently, no.
After dropping the kiddos off at school, I took a deep breath and typed “Minecraft sex mods” into Google. And wow. Just wow.
A flood of results appeared, mostly YouTube videos. Apparently, in the app version of the game, players can install mods that allow pixelated characters to engage in rather unsettling activities. I could only stomach a few videos (okay, just one) before I had to step back. The sight of a “gangsta” Minecraft character having an awkward encounter with a bikini-clad figure in a pixelated brothel? Yeah, let’s just say I didn’t need that visual.
At first, I felt relieved knowing that my 9-year-old, a dedicated Minecraft player, doesn’t use the app version. But then, it hit me — the kid spends hours watching Minecraft-related content on YouTube.
Scrolling through, I noticed some videos were age-restricted, while others popped up with zero barriers. I couldn’t help but think how easily my son could stumble upon one of those disturbing videos without even knowing what he was getting into.
I can hear you now: “It’s the INTERNET! What do you expect?” It’s true, there are countless individuals out there who don’t care about the innocent kids playing Minecraft. But I’ve always viewed Minecraft as a clean, educational game. My son even participates in an after-school program focused on the educational edition of the game!
Minecraft is all about creativity and building, right? It’s like digital Legos where kids can explore architecture, construct castles, and nurture adorable animals. It’s supposed to be a break for parents too, guilt-free screen time for the kids!
Now, however, it seems like you can meet pixelated, half-clad avatars at your diamond-encrusted pink brothel for some questionable escapades. Seriously? What is happening?
Once my son gets home from school, I know I’ll need to have a chat with him about this bizarre mod. Thankfully, we maintain an open dialogue about sex in our house, making it easier to discuss – but I still dread the idea of him encountering such inappropriate content.
This situation serves as a wake-up call for me and likely for many parents out there. The harsh reality is that regardless of how much we try to limit internet access, there’s a strong chance our kids will eventually stumble upon explicit content online.
A study published in Pediatrics found that 42% of kids aged 10 to 17 have encountered porn online, with 66% saying the exposure was unwanted. So, it’s not a matter of if, but when it happens.
At least I’ve already had “the talk” with my tween. But now I realize I need to have another conversation — one that addresses the existence of inappropriate content online and the reality that while sexuality isn’t shameful for consenting adults, it is definitely not suitable for children.
