Why my mom and I can't play together, but not on a mini game server [closed]

My mom and I want to get on the same server but not on a mini game server.

How can we get on the same server just the two of us and nobody else? So I can teach her on computer first and then xbox so how do we get on the same server on computer.

You'll have to host a game on your computer in order to play together with your mom. There are two ways of going about this:

(easier) You can open any of your single-player games, pause the game, and click "Open to LAN." This will allow people on your local network to join your world. You can choose whether new players will start in Survival or Creative, as well as choose to enable/disable cheats. When you exit your world, the world is closed to LAN again, and players cannot connect to it. Anyone still in it will be kicked automatically. If you do this option, you must re-open it to LAN every time you load your save file when you want someone to connect.
(more difficult) You can start your own server. This is still pretty secure, as you need the server's unique IP in order to connect to it. Thus, you can create your own server (which is hosted on your computer), give your mom the IP, and both of you can play on that together. I don't have any experience creating servers, I tried making one, and it's a fairly difficult process without a good guide.

If it's just you and your mom playing, I'd say go option 1. It's much easier to start a single-player match and open it up to LAN every time you want to play together. Hope this helped.

Answer: No, excluding resources downloaded (resource packs and skins), which still will not be executed without the user manually doing something stupid (in which case, you can just as easily pwn them by making them download some other malicious executable).
