Some changes are coming to Minecraft, and Mojangrecently took to their blogto update Minecraft fans on what they need to know before things take effect. Most importantly, it was revealed that starting with the Better Together Update, a Xbox Live sign-in will be required for all online multiplayer play.

Since the Better Together update will be joining together various platforms, the changes are all part of moves to ensure everyone has a positive and safe experience on Minecraft. Mojang is also inviting Minecraft players to share ideas andsubmit feedbackabout these new rules and experiences by visiting their website. Here is a look at a few of the online play changes which Mojang have highlighted:

Several changes are also coming to the way which servers are handled and monitored. These changes bring several moderation tools which will help protect Minecraft players.

These changes come aftermany news outlets reportedthat child predators have been using Minecraft to lure young children into sharing personal information and explicit photos. The requirement of an Xbox Live Gamertag in the Minecraft Better Together Update will help to prevent this, and will open access to more privacy, chat, and sharing settings which parents can enable for their children.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
