Minecraft is a game for all ages and it is actively used to educate children. With the game having a large demographic of younger gamers, it is important to create safe spaces for players who simply want to have fun in the game. There should be no toxicity, unsporting behavior, or any form of exploitation allowed on the platform and the community should actively report players who ruin their experience. Here is how you can report a player in Minecraft.
