I was away with a pregnant and sick wife most of the summer... so I did not spend as much time on Minecraftedu as I would have liked. Having returned to the scene, I am disheartened concerning what I am finding... Information that I have read about the Education Edition seems to be exactly the same as it was in June: vague and uncertain. I will now compare this to a game I enjoy on my free time: Dwarf Fortress.
1. Where are the features of Minecraft: Education Edition? Dwarf Fortress has a Development Tab that discusses all the features of the game in depth with actual color-coded entries letting us know whether a feature is partially done, being released in the next patch, or done and released. There is one guy working on that FREE game... how many people are on the Minecraft: EE team?
2. Where is the forum for Minecraft EE? This Minecraftedu forum seems to be the only place where there is any CONVERSATION going on about Minecraft: EE. The website for this thing has zero input capabilities for people to share ideas, thoughts, and criticisms. At least in June there was a place for people to express their concerns and ideas, but that was quickly shut down. When I questioned that in June I was directed to the website for Minecraft: EE where there is no conversation going on...
3. Even here there is limited discussion... where are the people who are testing out the EE? What do they have to say about it? I would love to test it out myself, but the district does not have Windows 10… a problem I am sure most everyone else has.
I am fortunate enough to have the presently invaluable 1.8.9 build 3 stored in various locations, but I am highly disappointed not many people were successful in acquiring it. That means there will be a very limited support group behind this wonderful product. The fact that it was removed quite quickly from the download options tells me how good of a product it was for Microsoft to fear its existence.
Hello! I too am a bit concerned! Our IT staff reimaged all my machines, removing MinecraftEDU and opted to move me to Minecraft EE...They can't tell me anything about anything...other than it is tied to 365, my kids will have to log in with an email address and that I won't have a server set up to house my worlds like before...that kids will have to join via IP.HELP! So bummed. Does anyone have any insight into how it works??Thanks,Krista
