According to the developer, it does not automatically collect or send information, censor or filter messages, or prevent messages from being sent. To immediately assuage some of the more prominent concerns, Mojang has stated Minecraft Player Reporting is not an automated feature. Player Reporting is best explained in five categories: how the system works, how suspensions or bans work, for what reasons players can be suspended or banned, how the system prevents exploitation, and how the system works with third-party servers. Of course, Mojang Studios stepping into its famously open-source and creator-centric platform to install a system with the power to ban players is bound to cause a stir of concern, so I want to explore what Mojang Studios is hoping to accomplish with its Player Reporting system, what actions the company can take, and what protections are in place to prevent it from being exploited. Minecraft's Player Reporting system allows players to submit harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate chats to Mojang Studios for review, with the potential for the offending player to have their account suspended or even banned.

Mojang Studios wants to create a baseline of safety to protect Minecraft's inclusivity. With Player Reporting, any Minecraft player now can make their voice heard. Players who encounter a dangerous situation or environment in which they can't seek recourse can have their freedoms restricted solely because of the actions or behavior of other players. With such a diverse range of unique online servers and worlds, with varying resources to moderate and protect, it's difficult to guarantee that Minecraft will be an equally safe space regardless of who you are and how you want to play. With Player Reporting, Mojang Studios is attempting to introduce a baseline of safety throughout multiplayer to protect Minecraft's inclusivity.
