Things to try with your agent

The Code Builder Tutorial world should be in your library of worlds automatically, along with a tutorial world and several sample worlds to help you get started. Please check the version number of your Minecraft Education (it should read 1.7). If you have any issues, please contact support right away so we can get your Agent Trials working again.

Log in to your Minecraft Education and give the Code Builder Tutorial a try. This in-game tutorial world covers the following topics:

• Going forward
• Moving your agent using turn commands
• Mastering vertical movement
• Putting directional movement together to get the full spectrum
• Teaching the Agent to move and destroy items
• Farming. Why not automate your planting and harvesting needs?
• Collect materials
• Build a simple shelter with your agent
• Start creating in a sandbox area
