When will Minecraft: Education Edition get the latest Bedrock features?
As the Bedrock/Java teams roll out exciting new features in Minecraft, our team needs some time to look over and understand how we can implement these new features in Minecraft: Education Edition. Our version of the game has unique features for use in the classroom and our team works to make sure any new features will be compatible with them. As such our version of Minecraft is typically about one update cycle behind the Bedrock/Java versions. When we have information on our next update we will be posting it on our website!
Have ideas for how you might improve this or why you need this feature? Let us know below so we can share with our development team!

I want to know when Minecraft Edu will update to the 1.16 as when we have free time at schools they usually play survival and want to play in the latest version so I suggest that there be a launcher that we can change the version similar to the java launcher.

Add Achievements and Custom Skins
"I hate not seeing achievements and it looks like I'm playing in a rip off of Minecraft and the skins I hate wearing skins that are not my own skin so fix that."
Micah-M wondering the reasoning/timeline behind achievements? We've had several players recently inquire. Thanks!

behavior packs and mash up packs
There should be a button with packs you can get.
If you do add packs then add mine coins to and you get mine coins based on your builds and how long you survive in survival mode.

Sure, or I can find u a skinpack.
PS: In Order to activate a skin pack, Open Minecraft, and double-click the file.

Nobody is talking about how we could just jump right to the "Caves & Cliffs" update. its a much better reason to update education edition than 'I need netherite plz update'. You got realistic cave generation, geodes, stalagmites, stalactites, and much more.

The Nether Update
Hello, I was wondering when the Nether Update will come out? Alot of other people have been waiting for this version ever since the Bee update came out.
0 -
Hi there Brandon Alfaro, Mariah Turner, @.... Minecraft: Education edition does not support custom skins or mods. All students and educators should be wary when following guides that claim they can install them, or running any third party programs that claim to affect M:EE in any way.

Excuse me, I want top ask about The NETHERITE update
WHEN WILL it be added? And answer for those people who were asking what not bed wars and PVP, This is just because Education Edition was made for school purposes and coding.

When will Minecraft get the netherite update? Or can’t you guys just tell Mojang to give you ( the Minecraft community ) the commands for the netherite update?.

I've heard about the new Caves & Cliffs update in the actual Minecraft, not the Educational Edition of Minecraft. There are also many other updates in Minecraft such as the Nether Update that the Education Edition of Minecraft also doesn't have.
-THanks Burke, please subscribe to this thread for the latest updates on Nether.

No Rush
Jayevier Mendiola thank you for you question! Please subscribe to this thread for the latest updates on Bedrock updates.Alongside some peers, we were wondering if the Caves and Caverns Update would be implemented this year into the game, of course, there is no rush we understand it takes time to add main game updates into Education Edition, we were just so excited about the Caves and Caverns update that we just had to ask this question.

Minecraft Nether Update
I am a frequent user of Minecraft Education Edition and I would be very happy if the update could do the following:
- ability to import education edition into java edition easily without comprimise
- use the same command formats as java
- make the updates come up to 2 weeks after java updates
- just make the whole thing more like java

Wow. I really can't believe what I am reading. How about, thanks Devs for creating a cool tool for me to use in my classrooms. Even though I would love to have it up-to-date with the other versions, I completely understand the delay. Do you have a time frame for when it will be updated to 1.15 (Nether Update)?
Once again I appreciate what you have done to provide me with a tool to teach my students how to program in Javascript and now Python while my students can have fun in a game they have been playing for most of their lives.

OK, but this is nether update and if the nether update is in bedrock and Minecraft education edition is technically bedrock with education, then why can't we have all the updates? And please I want everything to go to my off hand and I can use it. AND just please add all the updates, there are so many cool blocks we can't have because there is no update in Minecraft education edition.

The nether update and when it could possibly come out
Ok, I know that this is Minecraft EDUCATION edition, and I also know that the updates are one update cycle behind from Java. But what I do want to know if the nether update will come at the same time as the caves and cliffs update for Java. If it doesn't come out the same day, when do you plan on updating it?

Great new everyone! The update of Minecraft: Education Edition to the latest Bedrock version is in progress right now! Once it's released, it will include all of the new features added to Bedrock in version 1.16 and 1.17 including the additional features for Structure Blocks. We know it's been a long wait, but we are working on it right now. What are you most excited for, and how will you integrate this for your lessons?

Planned
Curse of Binding and Vanishing Enchantments
FOLLOWCould you please add the Curse of Binding and Vanishing Enchantments to MinecraftEE?
These are really helpful for teachers to control items and equipment better with students and will solve a lot of problems in lessons and teamwork minigames.
Also more scoreboard functionality would literally open up the sky in terms of tools for creating minigames and lessons.

Hi Joz,
Thanks for the request! These were both added in version 1.16 of Minecraft. When Minecraft: Education Edition updates to version 1.16 they will be included.
Thanks again for the feedback!

Also, is it possible to add the other stuff, like blue soul fire etc. It really adds to the game. Thanks.

I think I can speak for most of us... just add the .Edu features to standard Bedrock... people are sick of explaining to their students why the features they play at home aren't available.
There is no need or demand for a special edition of Minecraft... education licencing can be done like any other MS product...
It's just ridiculous. We want to host our worlds on private servers. We want to be able to use up to date add-ons... You're literally holding educators back. As a matter of fact, I tend to use Bedrock more these days... if you allowed me to use URLs in NPCs in Bedrock I doubt I'd use MCEdu at all.
Chalkboards, in-game access to Code Connection, URLs in NPCs and the portfolio... there's nothing else. I created a letter and character block add-on for educators and can't use it because we still don't have experimental mode...
Listen to us!0 -
@deborah alexander... why do we need different editions? Why not just put the 'cool' edu. features in Bedrock? Why would that be a problem for you?
0 -
The same goes with MarketPlace... I've made a tonne of lessons with maps I've purchased from Marketplace... field trips to the zoo... farming... cities, transport... it goes on and on... the learning opportunities are endless... but millions of teachers are denied the opportunity to use these maps... creators are denied a market... it's nonsense.

Thanks for engaging on this, Anthony (Mr Tony) Bryant although I don't pretend to understand all of the mechanics that go into creating Minecraft additions, I do know that there can be conflicts between the implementation of the different features. I also believe that there are features that are "locked down" if you will, that are limited, because of the educational environment. Again, I'm not an expert at this stuff, but my impression is that in order to have the freedom to add features that keep a Minecraft world building experience available for the kind of servers and school use environment that is needed around the world, and to add the extra features that improve it for teachers, that it is not just a simple overlay of code.
Just to be clear, I am not speaking for anybody and I do not know any details about this. I'm just giving my impression. I will say that I have experience in other game making environments, and it is difficult to bring retail game making environments into schools. They use platforms that are inappropriate for schools, or they have content that is not easily translated into a school, or they have an open door to materials that are unsuitable to a school.
I'm just tossing these as ideas out there. I could be completely off-base. I don't see anything wrong with having a custom featured version. I don't see why this is a bad thing. If your school district is happy to use the bedrock version that I don't see why that's bad. I think that's super that you're using materials that work in your environment.
I think what the EDU version provides is a good thing and a helpful thing. That's just my take, and I do really enjoy it myself. I'm not trying to defend an implementation in particular but I will say that I do enjoy having an education minded version myself.
