Howdy,

 TG> This sounds super cool, any link to the download by chance?  I don't

RetroPi is here https://retropie.org.uk/

 TG> want to download from some nefarious site.  My kids (and I) would dig
 TG> it.  I have a 3, 8, and 12 year old.  Mostly my 12 year old is into the
 TG> Minecraft Mods; my 8 year old likes Scratch at the moment.  The
 TG> minecraft module that comes with Raspbian is a very basic world which
 TG> was a big bummer to the 12 year old (as he simply wanted an excuse for
 TG> more game time in the day ..)  However, he's now learning how to do the
 TG> basic coding to build his world and is having a blast with it on
 TG> weekends.

Yeah my 9 yo has just had access to minecraft for the first time and is loving
the minecraft that comes with Rasbian. He's been building stuff and talks about
 the game and I have no idea.

I have discovered other minecraft builds (papermc) - which I'm going to look
into as a replacement for the 0.1.1 that comes on the pi. It looks like a heap
more capability, and I'll run it as a server so that we can both have a look at
 it - and perhaps his friends too...

And if the server thing works well - I'll expose it out to the net - if you
want your kids to check it out as well. I really dont know what minecraft is
all about, but my son is all over it.
