MinecraftEdu 1.8.9 Development Build Available!

[Aleksi Postari]

Greetings Everyone!

It's been awhile since we announced the development of a 1.8.9 version, but hopefully worth waiting for! We have just released the first MinecraftEdu 1.8.9 Development Build 1. As usually, you can find it through the launcher's updates section and from Member's Area on the website.

We encourage you to install it and run it through the paces! Feel free to add comments / bug reports etc. in this thread so we can squash them!

When reporting an issue, it helps us to replicate it if you provide as many details as possible about where you were, what you were doing, and what happened.

Best,

@Kulttuuri & @Tonsse

I have a few questions concerning mod-compatibility:
1. What Forge version will you use with this?
2. Will this Forge version be "user-updatable" somehow? 

Not really a concern of this topic, but what is the Forge version of the latest McEdu MC 1.7.10 version?
I don't own a copy of McEdu, but I need the info to better advice the mod-users here.

[Todd Thorne]

I agree with the Forge native update. There are many mods that keep updating to the newest/newer Forge and I can't use them because I can't update Forge in MinecraftEdu.

Even if we could use the Forge universal in the mods folder would help a lot.

[Toni Paavola]

The forge version is 1765. We can keep updating it as we releae new versions if there are new recommended versions available.

Unfortunately making it so that users could update forge is not possible with the time and resources we have.

Hi Steve,

What operating system are you using? Could you paste what's inside the file minecraftedu/debug/launcher.log after receiving that error message so I can take a closer look at this problem, thank you! :)

Hope this helps!

Cool. It looks like we are missing one 32-bit Windows library. Can you try this:

1) Download this file: https://libraries.minecraft.net/tv/twitch/twitch-platform/6.5/twitch-platform-6.5-natives-windows-32.jar

2) Place the file in your minecraftedu/minecraft/libraries/tv/twitch/twitch-platform/6.5 folder with the same name "twitch-platform-6.5-natives-windows-32.jar".

3) Try launching MinecraftEdu again.

Let me know if that works! If it works, I can add the file inside the installer.

[Steve Dale]

Hi Still no joy!

I have tto go to school now so will get back asap!

[Aleksi Postari]

Alright, after you added the library can you paste me that debug/launcher.log file again. Thanks!

[ffi...@manorgreen-college.w-sussex.sch.uk]

Adding that Library fixed it for me. 

[Aleksi Postari]

Cool! We'll add that into the current installer.

[MisterA]

Great job guys...

Just thought I would put my 2 cents in here and say I look forward to testing this out over the next little while.

Keep up the good work...as developers I don't think you hear that enough.

Keep the bug reports coming and be specific so it can be fixed!

MisterA

[Toni Paavola]

The missing library has been added. Redownload and install should fix the problem.

[Steve Dale]

Thanks ! see its fixed! will download and try again- sorry i didn't get back before  been busy!!

[Steve Dale]

Still no joy with windows 8.1 but OK on 7

[Aleksi Postari]

What error are you receiving? Can you paste in your debug log file for launcher again, thanks!

[Shawn Avery]

Just started out with it. Haven't had much of a chance to try it out quite yet. Did load a few mods into it though and they don't show up in loader. I accidentally put in the JourneyMap Server one built for 1.7.10 and that one showed up though. I'm not even seeing the Computer Craft one that I downloaded from the online mods listed. 

[Todd Thorne]

Is anyone having an issue with Java 8 u77? This is the latest update. As soon as I installed it MCEdu stopped working. I can't even get the startlauncher to work or the new jar to install. All other versions of Minecraft work, e.g. 1.9.2 through MultiMC and my Spigot server. Additionally my Forge server [1.8.9] works just fine. Rolled back to u66 and MCEdu does work with this update. Anyone else?

[Aleksi Postari]

What MinecraftEdu version did you get this problem with? What operating system are you using?

To add to this: I am using Win10, MCEdu 1-8-9-b2, same problem with 1-8-9-b1. No issues with 1-7-10 all builds up 21. Rolling back to Java8u66 really helps. It only works if I do a clean install. Side note: My machine is pretty high end with 16G of ram. No issue there.

Hi,
I am a User of Minecraft-Edu in Germany ....
Can you please tell me, where I can download the
MinecraftEdu 1.8.9 Development Build ...

Thanks a lot!

Best wishes from Germany,

Hi Heiko,

Unfortunately if you do not already have a copy of 1.8.9 development build, you will be unable to get it any more.

I can tell you however it was still quite buggy, and not all featured worked as intended, whereas 1.7.10 Build 22 was and is rock solid.

Sorry for the lack of good news...

Elfie.
