This is where you have a talk about griefing and consent before the 5yo turns into an open world PvP advocate
But open world pvp is super fun!
(But high risk)
For a game like minecraft where progression is so quick does it really matter? Oh no I lost an iron sword. That won't take 5 minutes to replace...
That is pretty much how our lunchtimes went in the school computer room around 2011 or so.
Netherite is hard to get, no matter how far you've progressed in the game
That didn't exist back in 2011. Back then you pretty much "finished" the game pretty easily in under an hour as far as getting the best gear available. Iron was more than good enough though and took even less time to get. At least once you have a bit of an idea how to play anyway.
