At its core, Minecraft is a sandbox game made for kids. Minecraft YouTubers, contrary to this, often look to broaden their audience by incorporating adult language and humor into their content.

While it's perfectly acceptable to let younger viewers be exposed to adult language and humor, it's understandable that parents might want to encourage their children to watch age-appropriate content.

Fortunately, several content creators are wary of the young target audience for Minecraft, and they uphold a rule of not swearing or making adult jokes in their videos so that younger viewers can enjoy them. Here are some of the best family-friendly Minecraft YouTubers in no particular order.


Top 5 family-friendly Minecraft YouTubers

Although some of his redstone contraptions may be a bit too complicated to replicate, his content is interesting and will certainly entertain a young fan that's interested in the more technical aspects of Minecraft.
