ACCT’s Minecraft Club runs in the same Saturday morning time-slot as Acctivate (9.45am – 12.15pm). The club takes place online on a private server, and is suitable for all age groups. Sessions are overseen by trained ACCT staff.
We started this club during Covid-19 lockdown and have kept it going since in-person clubs reopened.
If you’re a regular player already, you can use your own account, or if you don’t have one, we have a number of accounts that ACCT members can borrow for the session times.
Come along to build, explore and chat with your ACCT pals!
Read below to see the Rules, How To Play and How To Join ACCT Minecraft.
You’ll need access to a computer, an internet connection, and to download and install Minecraft on to your computer in order to join in. Unfortunately, we are unable to help with external issues, such as installing Minecraft, setting up computers, internet connections, etc. For this reason, parents should be available to help children while playing. ACCT staff will be on hand to help with in-game issues, and help your children get involved. If your child needs any help in the game, ask in Minecraft chat (press T on your keyboard, once you have finished typing, press Enter) and we’ll be here!
If you’d like to book a place or have issues getting set up, please get in touch via enquiries@acctsheffield.org.uk.
Rules
We have three basic rules on our ACCT Minecraft world:
- Do not destroy creations that are not your own. This world is shared across clubs.
- Keep language and behaviour appropriate.
- If you need any help, ask in chat (press T on your keyboard, once you have finished typing, press Enter) and we’ll be here!
If you’re having issues that are not resolved by the information provided, please get in touch via enquiries@acctsheffield.org.uk. The ACCT mobile will not be accessible during club times.
