I play quite a bit of Minecraft on a local server with my 7-year-old. We have played together since he was 3. At about 4 he ripped my hands off the keyboard and did everything himself. At 5 we got a second account and started hosting a server. We never play on the same server for more than 2 days. I find it a bit frustrating that we don't get very far, but he likes it that way. It's also fun that you can wreak havoc sometimes and know that tomorrow will be in a new one.

I'm playing a lot of Minecraft with my 11 year old. And the story is the same. Started off with a single account. Went to two. Added in our own local servers with mods and all. Now we're off to public servers, but rarely play on the same server more then two or three times.

But I still have my own personal survival world that i'm building out to manage my needs to complete objectives. ;-)

Oooh our next step is to figure out how to add mods to our local server. I have looked into it a couple of time, but my son loses patience, and says "Let's just play Dad". We have hosted on Digital Ocean a few times to play with family. That is super fun.

I spent a lot of time understanding the Minecraft mod world. There are multiple factions in the mod game and not all can be mixed. Maybe I should buckle down and write a multi-part post on setting up a modified Minecraft server.

What i've found very enjoyable to do outside of moding my Minecraft server or local instance is to start new worlds based on a seed or two. There are a lots of great seed starting points. available
