Guidance From His Dad

In the context of rules in minecraft it can mainly depend on the kind of server and its rules. On McTopia The rules are posted on signs on the walls at spawn right down the end. The main rules would have to be: No Griefing, No spamming, No killing people in their houses and no asking for promotion. Of course there are other rules that may vary depending on the rank of the player. For instance those with the rank [MOD] cannot teleport to people and kill them, but for players under mod this is not a problem as they do not have access to the instant teleport command, rather they have to settle for /tpa which sends a request to the person you would like to go to, then that person has to accept the tpa by typing /tpaccept.

Your son should be released if it was something very small and not a big issue in a matter of hours, if he is a repeat offender or broke one or more of the large rules he may have to leave his computer on for a couple days and sit and wait in jail. To be released, on this server you have to actually be on the server in jail for your time in jail to lower and for you to get closer to being released.

As for learning the fundamentals of minecraft you might want to, as awesomeboo said, watch videos on youtube but I think personly the only think tying with that is to go to the minecraft wiki. It will teach you everything about minecraft, but usual doesn't have that much visual help other than a picture of the animal, block or tool you are learning about.

Hope this helped, Metazard
