p>Minecraft owner Microsoft is investigating reports the Turkish government is planning to ban the game, the BBC understands.

/p>

p>A Turkish Family and Social Policies Ministry study found that the game encouraged violence, according to local media.

/p>

p>There were conflicting reports about what actions the government was planning to take in response.

/p>

p>Some said it would ask a court to ban the game, while others said it would ask Microsoft to edit the game.

/p>

p>Haberturk newspaper reported that the ministry's report stated: "Although it can be seen as encouraging creativity among children by letting them build farms, houses, and bridges but mobs (hostile creatures) must not be killed in order for these structures to be protected. The game is founded on violence.

p>'Social isolation'

/p>

p>The report also said that children might confuse Minecraft with reality and be led to believe torturing animals isn't causing any pain, according to the newspaper.

/p>

p>The report added that it was based on the experience of a nine year-old. It also it suggested that playing Minecraft could lead to "social isolation".

/p>

p>Haberturk reported that the department's legal affairs division was instructed to take the first step toward bans on Minecraft.

/p>

p>According to Fatih Oke (a spokesperson for the Turkish Embassy in Washington DC), a ban is "out of the possibility".

/p>

p>Christian Science Monitor was told by Mr. Oke that there would be no ban.

/p>

p>"The game is not being banned and will not be banned.

/p>

p>The Family and Social Policy Ministry does not have that sort of authority to ban any product.

/p>

p>"I believe that this was what was reported in the Turkish media, however, it is incorrect.

/p>

p>"The ministry can only deal with complaints.

/p>

p>"In this case I was informed that there were many complaints from parents about Minecraft's influence on children.

/p>

p>"The ministry's function is to raise awareness."

/p>

p>The government wouldn't be able to unilaterally ban the game, it would need convince a court do so.

/p>

p>While Turkey is not renowned for banning computer games some websites have been taken down recently.

/p>

p>In the past year, access to both Twitter and YouTube was temporarily blocked and Facebook was required to block certain pages believed to insult the Prophet Muhammad in January this year. https://minecraftservers.live/ </p>

p>'Creative freedom'

/p>

p>Mojang is the company behind Minecraft under Microsoft's umbrella, declined to comment on the reports.

/p>

p>He stated that "Minecraft is enjoyed in many ways by a variety of players."

/p>

p>"While many people enjoy the artistic freedom Minecraft and its tools provide, others are more interested in the opportunity to explore a world without limits and share thrilling adventures with their friends.

/p>

p>"We encourage players and encourage them to work together to reach their goals, regardless of whether they are building or exploring, or simply exploring.

/p>

p>"The world of Minecraft can be a risky place: it's inhabited by scary, genderless monsters that appear at the dark of night.

/p>

p>"It could be essential for them to live.

/p>

p>"If people find this level fantasy conflict disturbing, we recommend that they use Creative Mode or to allow the Peaceful setting to be used.

/p>

p>"Both of these options will stop monsters from appearing everywhere in the globe."
