We use Minecraft Java edition. Our servers are not compatible with Bedrock editions of Minecraft. If you do not own Minecraft Java edition, we can lend an account to use during the workshop at no extra charge. -
I tried to enroll my son in this class but the plaftotm did not allow it due to his age (he is 6.5 years old). Is it possible to open registrations to children from 6 years of age? This way he could participate.

Minecraft Heroes requires some reading, typing, and spelling proficiency that can be frustrating for many younger players. Please reach out to us at info@nyplays.org if you believe your child has the necessary skillset to participate. -

Students who sign up for our classes gain access to one of NYSoP's Minecraft accounts for the duration of the class. However, a computer that is able to install and run Minecraft is required. You can find the system requirements for Minecraft by following the link below-https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360035131371-Minecraft-Java-Edition-System-Requirements- -

Students create a new character when they join NYSoP, which is entered into our character database and updated in real-time via google docs. In the interest of fairness and balance, students are not allowed to play characters they have created on their own or from other programs. -
