My 7 and 11 year old approached me about playing: what do I need to know going in?

[/u/Bulliwyf]

Long story short, my 2 older kids approached me to play Minecraft, and mom placed the caveat that it had to be a self-hosted server so we can control/supervise it. For what it’s worth, I’m planning on playing with them. It sounds like they just want to build bases and run around so planning on Java. My son is also expressing the desire to convince the parents of his friends to let them play with him on the private server, so I also have to deal with that as well.

I’m moderately smart/computer literate and I’m reading wiki’s and guides, so I have the hardware already and I feel like I’m getting a decent grasp on how I need to set everything up.

What I’m wondering is what are the potential challenges or obstacles I am facing that aren’t obvious? Or settings I need to make sure I set for the optimal experience for them? Are there any corners I can cut to make things easier or cheaper?

Thanks
