Meet Mark Burnett – Admin of Minecraft Club
Hello! I’m Mark Burnett, the admin of Minecraft Club, also known as MCMarkie in-game. If you see me on the server, feel free to say hello!
My Journey into Teaching & Minecraft
My passion for working with children began in 2018 ago when I started teaching Code Club at my daughter’s primary school. As a STEM Ambassador, I helped Year 5 and 6 students learn the importance of coding and digital literacy.
When COVID disrupted in-person teaching, I looked for new ways to support young minds. I started teaching coding online for home-educated students, which led to an exciting opportunity—running a Minecraft Club. The challenge? I had never played Minecraft before! My only experience was troubleshooting the game for my daughter.
Creating a Safe & Fun Minecraft Server
Over the next 18 months, I built a Minecraft server where kids could play, make friends, and enjoy a secure gaming environment. Now, my goal is to make this experience available to children across the UK—a safe, fun, and social space where they can connect, learn, and explore together.
A Well-Monitored, Secure Server
Building the server came with many lessons, but every mistake helped fine-tune a fully monitored and locked-down environment. To prevent common issues like griefing, stealing, and PvP conflicts, we use advanced plugins that:
✔ Monitor & record all actions for accountability
✔ Prevent unwanted gameplay disruptions
✔ Allow rollbacks for any malicious activity
Why I Love Running Minecraft Club
Minecraft is a game with endless possibilities. I’ve discovered that my favourite way to play is by creating exciting new experiences—games, adventures, and settlements—for others to enjoy. Running this club gives me the opportunity to build and share fun, engaging content with our community for the past 2 years.
I hold an enhanced DBS check and follow strict child safeguarding guidelines to ensure a safe online space for all players.
Join us at Minecraft Club, where creativity, safety, and fun come together! 🚀
