With the Minecraft 1.19 update, the game changed for good, welcoming the creepy Warden mob, the cute Allay mob, and a new Mangrove Swamps biome. But unfortunately, with the latest Minecraft 1.19.1 update, for the first time ever, it doesn't look like the changes are being welcomed by the usually friendly community. If you haven't already guessed, we're talking about the new player reporting system added in the Minecraft 1.19.1 update. The reporting system was created in hopes of making the game safer, but it has caused players to protest against Minecraft. Now, is the new reporting system really that bad or unnecessary? Or are the players missing out? Let's go through the Minecraft player reporting system in detail to find out.

We've covered the pros, cons, and mechanics of Minecraft's new player reporting system in separate sections to give you a better idea of its use and implications. Use the table below to first understand what the reporting system is and then learn about the "#SaveMinecraft" movement that has erupted since this release.

Similar to other multiplayer based video games, Minecraft has also decided to implement a monitoring system where players can report other toxic players to the developers. Then the team behind Minecraft can take appropriate action, depending on the severity of the toxicity and harassment. Since there is no built-in voice chat option, players can only use the in-game chat to communicate with each other. And with the new reporting system, you can now report players for text abuse.

If someone insults you by using the in-game chat feature, you can report the player to the relevant department. But remember that not every act that you may find offensive is punishable. Minecraft has posted some strict and detailed community guidelines that lay out the basis for you to submit a report.
