i did the same thing, minecraft servers were an amazing social experience for kids


100% and it got me into tech too :)

Learn a lot with spare time on your hands and wanting to build something for your friends!


Me too! If it wasn’t for Minecraft I probably wouldn’t be where I am now. Pretty much the first time I wrote code was because I wanted to build a Minecraft mod. It was (unsurprisingly) absolutely horrible, but it was the start of a long learning journey.


+1, I never would be where I am today if it weren’t for running a Minecraft server.
