Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed by Mojang.
Details can be found at: https://www.minecraft.net/

Some of the game actions are:

• Slaying bad mobs e.g., zombies, skeletons etc.
• Slaying friendly mobs for food and resources e.g., cows for leather and steak
• Crafting e.g., baking a pie out of wheat, eggs, milk etc.

A big part of the game is survival. Whereas it is possible to play the game eating plant-based foods, e.g. potatoes, it is easier to survive on animal based foods, especially, if one wants to go on a quest/explore. There are no vegan options to e.g., make a book without leather from a slain cow. Crafting books and eventually bookshelves etc. is essential to the advancement in the game.

As our children try to identify with the game, and vegan children have learned that being dependable on animal-based foods and resources is a myth in real life, we would like to encourage Mojang Studios to either add more vegan options in Minecraft to make the game resemble reality better, or to develop a vegan version.

Some of the suggestions are:

• Adding more vegan food options, at least 1-2 vegan food options in each biome e.g., edible seaweed, vegan sushi made from seaweed and rice, vegan cherry cake, bean burgers, beyond burgers (made from peas), tofu, vegan chocolate, vegan chocolate cookies, vegan cake, banana nicecream etc.  
• Adding vegan resource option, e.g., vegan leather made from cacti or mushrooms, vegan potion ingredients (herbal potions), vegan arrows etc.
• Petting a pig to regain health instead of slaying a pig and eating its remains, feeding a horse to gain experience etc.

Vegan children are (yet) in a minority situation. The often face ridicule and discrimination. The values of veganism help protect all stock animals from cruelty, all wild animals from diversity and habitat loss, and the environment from climate change and pollution. It would also prevent the most common deadly diseases in humans and take the tremendous strain of these chronic debilitating conditions off our health care system and grow our economy & prosperity from the community level to humanity as a whole.

Vegan children and their values deserve support. 
Merry Christmas to all Earthlings & Peace on Earth!
