Am I the only one here who's above 20 years old?
Apparently I have to post to gain experience or whatever, so let's discuss. I feel like a lot of the people on this website are really young, and I wanted to confirm that I am not the only one above 20 years old.
I didn't create a poll because I noticed that polls completely kill discussions as no one ever replies, they just vote.
I'd like to meet some people my age, feel less alone, make some friends if possible. Why are you here? What do you think about this community?

No, you aren't; there are a goodly few candidates for éminence grise in the MC community, many of whom were some low multiple of 20 before MC alpha was out.
Despite the sometimes appearance otherwise since the AOL induced Eternal September, underagers have not taken over…
One of the unfortunate consequences of the E10 rating, however, is that the older community is not as well catered to as might be…
There are also quite a number of 18+ or 21+ servers running, many of which are essentially 'family friendly' but wish to avoid parental complaints if something (such as a creeper attack) precipitates an 'unguarded exclamation'…
In this case maturity (which is often what is desired) takes a back seat to legal insulation.

60 years young here, so over 20 yes I'd say so!

We have dozens of players in the 20-30 range and a dozen solid players around 40 years old who hold down the community and provide a nice range of discussion, in-game help and humor.

My old server used to consist of largely an adult player base. I myself am in my early 30s and I had many regular players in their 40s.
I also know of an adult themed BDSM fetish server which does very well. Minecraft is certainly not just for kids!

Come to think of it, age doesn't really matter when it comes to video games.
2
hmm, this is interesting. But does age really matter?
2
It does, because age usually correlates with the level of decency, maturity and so on.
Also being of the same age as someone else probaly makes it easier to find things you have in common, shared views and interests.

I know how you feel, constantly looking for servers or videos etc. that are targeted towards older players.
I'm 20 years old and I constantly find myself coming back to play the same game I first played when I was 11 years old.
One of my favourite youtubers, General Sam, made a good point in a recent video, he said "with all the kids playing fortnite and apex now, there's not as many playing minecraft anymore" so that's another reason why I've really started to come back into Minecraft and the PMC community.
There is a huge amount of adults coming back to the game and it makes playing the game a lot more enjoyable, and I don't feel as embarrassed to play minecraft anymore because so many people my age are starting to come back.

No, you're not alone. I'm here well I'm not exactly sure why like there is some mystical force that always makes me come back but honestly, it's hard to say about this community (nothing bad really it's just well....idk)
2
Not sure, honestly. I'm 23, though!

21 here - thinking of launching a server I never got round to as a kid... still kept all the old world files and plugins... what a task its gonna be updating them -_-

I'm 25, and have been hosting the same server for nearly a year and a half now.
I'd say about 50% of our community is over 20, some over 40.
https://www.planetminecraft.com/server/astro-s-mostly-vanilla-whitelist-18-griefprevention-coreprotect-essentials-discord/
The above URL is the 1.13 info, the thread has been updated as well as the server, for Vanilla 1.14. No white list at the moment.
If you're interested, I do allow Ages 16+, so far they have all been very mature.

Nearly 40 here

I'm bang-on 20, lmao

All I know is that I’m not gonna be twenty for uhh ten years or something maybe nine
3
I am above the 20 and saw lots of peoples here who crossed twenties.
2
I'm over twenty and would appreciate meeting some new people too. I like the Minecraft community because it caters towards creativity in many forms.
2
Though I may not be above 20 y/o, There's a lot of members signed up to this site. I'm entirely positive there's plenty of other people who are older than 20 y/o.
3
I think a lot are these days. But people who have had the game a while or who have been on this site for a while tend to be older I bet.
3
Nope, you're not the only one. Above 30 years old right here.
By the way, my cousin Greg has a wall entry dog door for sale. If anyone's interested, feel free to PM me.

I'm 20 myself. I personally like that Minecraft appeals to a wide age-range, so I just accept any forum environment to be the same.
Plus PMC is just honestly my favourite, community wise.

I'm 33 and I have an gaming crew with most of the member in and around the age of 20 ish... Also my oldest member just turn 50. So no age limit on this game.

I'm 23 and have been playing Minecraft since the age of 16. I think I'm the only one of my friends who plays it though, but it doesn't bother me one bit since I can be creating what I want without covering the front room carpet in A4 sheets of paper haha

I just started a new world for 1.14. Check it out if you are looking for some others to play with. My friend and I are in our 20s, and have a few other players at different ages. Building kind of a hermitcraft style server, with a custom datapack.

I'm 26, been playing since I was 19. As much as I enjoy talking to fellow crafters, it's always a little weird not knowing if they've graduated high school yet. I don't have a lot to say to a stranger anyways, it takes some time for me to warm up to a conversation if I can't make jokes, cuss, etc. The group chat, like twitch, is just too general and a mess most of the time.
So far I haven't really met anybody here either. My family insists on playing the Xbox edition while I am a steadfast Java player so I figured I'd look for some people who already play the right way lol. I played on a server for a bit but couldn't get into it, I like turning mobs off and not being in constant peril.
Check out my map if you have a second, it's here: https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/bawsnia-4271370/
be sure to do it on peaceful though, or take a tour first and raid my chests for gear.

Not the only one at all! I suspect there are more of us "old timers" (20+) around here than we all think.

I was already in my 20s when Minecraft was first created.

Nah man same boat, been here since 2013 as the name R1GD never used any other site always stuck with this one its gg.

My wife and I both play, at 24 and 26 respectively. Honestly I mainly use this website to post projects I've built that I'm proud of; it's nice to be able to show them off. The community is also good for inspiration, so that's a plus.

No, I am in a clan entirely composed of adult gamers and personally know at least 30 adults ranging for 18 to late 50s that play Minecraft together :)

good choice of forum topic :) and reasons for not polling
I'm 35, and gave been playing minecraft for probably 2 years. Recently, I started trying mods, and had lots of questions about it. Now I'm working on creating content, and have lots of questions. So I appreciate having a place to share ups/downs and spark creativity

I'm 21, and I think Planet Minecraft is a great platform to hang out on. I've been on Facebook, DeviantArt, various forums and communities but I found none of those to be nicer than the community here on PMC. ^_^
What I love about this site is that above anything else, it's about creating. From my experience younger members bring positivity to the site through their enthusiasm and creativity. And, some kids are more mature than some adults. I oftentimes get surprised learning someone's age on here.
Being my age I don't feel out-of-place at all. Not just because there are plenty of members who are the same age or older, but also because those who are younger generally are nice kids. 😊 + Good moderation on the site surely helps with that too.
I'm here because I enjoy hosting contests and events, to come up with a theme or concept and see what other people make of that. \o/ + I also enjoy creating skins, writing, the occasional build, and sharing what I know about all of that in tutorials to help people with their own creations. 😅

Nope, and then some. There a bunch of parents here that got started playing with their kids too. P.s. I'm nearly 60...
