Super League Gaming is a video gaming community and content platform where everyday gamers, fans, and friends of all ages and skill levels can play the games they love. With schools canceled around the country, shelter in place orders in many cities, and parents trying to juggle working from home, it is exceedingly difficult to ensure kids have opportunities to play and socialize with others.
This is where Minehut, operated by Super League, can be helpful in these isolating times. Minehut is a safe online community for kids to get together and play the game they love: Minecraft. Now in these difficult and scary times, playing a game together can transform mandatory isolation into a social experience.
What is Minehut?
Minehut is a unique service that allows your child to get together with other kids to play Minecraft, build their own worlds, and stretch their imagination by creating their very own games. Minehut makes it easy to get started, allowing users to create their server, invite friends and get playing in minutes.
Is it safe?
Yes, Minehut is 100% COPPA Compliant and features digital and human moderation throughout all public-facing channels.
How much does it cost?
Minehut is free for an entry-level server, but many prefer the benefits of an upgraded server to best meet their needs! For about $5/month users can enjoy the following:
· Play with more friends! With a paid server you’ll get at least 15 player slots, allowing your child and all of their friends to play and build together
· Extra Power to allow your child to use more of the 300+ free plugins without impacting performance. These plugins let your child customize their server in infinite ways
· Uninterrupted playtime – paid servers are never shutdown or migrated while in use, your child will be able to build, refine, and show off their creation without hindrances
Sounds complex, what if my child does not know how to build their own server?
Minehut features a robust tutorial library on YouTube with safe, fun and easy-to-understand videos from setting up your account, uploading your world, inviting friends, and more.
What if my child just wants to play?
Minehut features 1000s of active, user-created servers spanning a plethora of game types each day. In addition, new servers are added daily, so there is always more to do and play – your child will never be bored.
I’m worried about excessive screen time. How can this be “good” for my child?
* Gaming with others can help students learn how to multitask, solve problems, collaborate with peers and develop perseverance. Gaming together is a cooperative activity. Teammates must create strategies to accomplish their objectives. Just like a baseball or soccer team, each player on the esports team has a role to play. Kids can also develop leadership skills through their gameplay and working with a team.
* Video gaming allows kids who may not thrive in traditional sports an outlet to compete. Esports and competitive gaming offers an opportunity for all students — not just those who excel in traditional athletics — to enjoy skill-based competition. Gaming provides a way for all kids to experience the thrill of competition and be part of a team. By bringing gamers out of their bedrooms and into after-school clubs, educators say they’re able to promote a collaborative environment for all students – especially those who feel left out – and make them feel proud of what they’re contributing.
* College scholarships. Nearly 200 US colleges are offering a total of around $15 million per year in scholarships for the esports elite, and university teams can earn millions more in tournament prizes. According to the National Association of Collegiate Esports, the average esports scholarship student receives $4,800 in tuition awards a year. Some can receive up to half off tuition.
