My kid is 7 and autistic and suddenly he has started liking Minecraft. He's watched me play it and wants to play himself.

How can I get him started? Do I just give him the laptop and trust he can figure it out or do I find a way to explain the controls?

My absolute dream would be to spin up a server with him.

java modded servers are insanely easy, can be run as local instance from your pc and whitelisted for security. just use atlauncher or whatever modloader you feel like. modpacks are so easy to setup these days. resist the urge to play bedrock, its not real.
