My sons and I love tech, mostly we play minecraft. I've made a few mods for them and they're starting to get into programming themselves. It's been fun to watch them grow and watch the creations they make. I'm a programmer during the week. These are our adventures navigating the tech out there to keep life fun.

Want to do something tech related for your kids, but not sure how?

Ask & maybe the boys and I can help.

Egg Wars Minecraft - Help Me Play!


My boys and I are playing Egg Wars right now.

We like it because.. well because it's Minecraft. My boys are 10 and 12 and love Minecraft everything. It's their favorite activity.

We also like it because it's a game where you have to use both defense and offense. You have to destroy other people's eggs and get gear. You start out with iron, and then you get gold, then diamonds. There's 3 kinds of diamonds: normal, op, hard-core. It's on a server, so you can do solo or teams. My son Harry (10 yo) likes solo better, because in team mode people steal your gear. In team mode, you have to wait your turn for the generator AND in teams people die and you can be left alone in the world. Oh no!

How do you set up Egg Wars?

Okay, here we go:

1. Install Minecraft, open in Multiplayer mode.
