I will moderate Minecraft Java Edition survival worlds for 3 - 9 students in this course. The activity each day will be decided by the learners (learner-directed). We may compete to survive in a hard survival world, talk about efficient methods to find diamonds, how to manage resources, and how to build a survival home, and I will answer questions about the game that the students have. One popular game involves choosing one player as a runner while all the other players team up to eliminate the runner. The runner is trying to kill the Enderdragon. If the runner is successful, then they get a win. If the chasers are successful, then they get a win. Another popular game is team survival. With Java, there will be many options. I am also open to using mods for the game. We are pretty open to rules, and if you have an idea for a game/rule, we can always put it up for a vote.

A lot of times during the game, players asked me to set the time to day, teleport them places or give them food/resources. I can do this but only if the group agrees unanimously. 

There are a few gameplay rules: 
    ⇢ You cannot grief
    ⇢ All players must read what griefing is: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/Griefing_prevention and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griefer . 
    ⇢ You cannot accuse another player of griefing during gameplay. However, you may ask a player to "stop," If I hear someone asking another player to stop and the other player isn't stopping, I will address it by separating the players into breakout rooms, getting each perspective, and finding a peaceful resolution. 
    ⇢ Players may submit structure blocks to me for importing their creations outside of class into our game, but they must give me at least two days' notice. If you don't give me two days' notice, I cannot guarantee your structure will be imported in time for the next class. 
    ⇢ Gamers can interact with other players throughout the session and me but must mute their mic (or ensure there is no background noise) when not speaking.
    ⇢ Spamming the text chat or voice channel is inappropriate and will be handled swiftly.
    ⇢ Class will begin on time, and I will probably not have time to troubleshoot the Minecraft client for you. Make sure to test it before class begins. The course will also end on time but may occasionally go overtime for a few minutes.
     ⇢ If students want to play outside the class, it must go through the parents, not me.
 
To address griefing, the person who has been griefed *must* message me in the Outschool messaging system after class and explain what happened, who they think did it, and why they believe it is griefing. Once I receive the grief report, I will communicate with the accused and explain what happened. I will try and find a peaceful resolution; a peaceful solution may require players to share their screens so that their activity in the game is recorded. Accusations of griefing during gameplay are serious and should be taken seriously, and repeated allegations of griefing will also be dealt with appropriately.
