Java Edition

By default, the Social Interactions screen is opened by pressing P. It can also be opened by clicking on the “Player Reporting” button on the pause menu in multiplayer games. The "All" tab lists all players, the "Hidden" tab shows players whose chat messages are hidden, and the "Blocked" tab shows players blocked using their Microsoft account. Attempting to open the screen in a Singleplayer world displays the message "Social Interactions are only available in multiplayer worlds".

Bedrock Edition

The "Report Bad Behavior" screen.

Players can be reported to Mojang Studios in their profile screen. Additionally, the options for a screenshot in a player's showcase gallery and a post in Realms Stories also allow to report content. For the latter, the report will be sent to Xbox Enforcement instead of Mojang Studios.

Player reporting

Players' skins, usernames, chat messages, screenshots, or Realms Stories posts may be reported to Mojang Studios by other players. All player reports are manually reviewed with the given context by Mojang staff.

Potential outcomes for a player report are as follows:[1]

  • No action taken.
  • Temporary, or permanent bans from online play.
  • Banning the use of a reported skin.
  • Banning the use of a reported username.

In the event of a banned skin, the player and any other players with the banned skin have theirs reset to a default skin.[1] In the event of a banned username, the player with the banned username is temporarily suspended from online play until the username is changed.[1]

Most public third-party servers do not have in-game player reporting enabled due to technical reasons from the server software used (or disable it actively). However, the officially supported server hosting platform, Minecraft Realms, has this feature fully enabled and functional.

Player report categories

A report category must be selected when reporting a player.
