Classroom Mode
Classroom mode was last updated in 2018. With all the new updates to Minecraft Education, classroom mode has become very unstable and basically useless as it was lagging, not loading, freezing and closing down. As this is a handy tool for teachers, it would be great if it could get an update so that it is more user-friendly.

Agree. Classroom mode is almost essential but barely works. I am having to reconsider how I use the tool in classrooms because of the lack of ways to manage students and builds.

Annoyed at this, I built my own version of classroom mode. I haven't heavily tested it yet as we're on school holidays right now, but any feedback welcome. Some things are a little different. Built in Python, and has a standalone executable for Windows, but not Mac at this point as I haven't got a Mac to build on (the Python code should work fine on a Mac though.

I cannot seem to find or download a classroom mode. It seems that only the Minecraft Education Edition downloads. Have they made an update that incorporates classroom mode? It sounds great, and I really need to use something like it.
Thanks!

I agree with this. It needs to be updated. Really useful tool when it's working.

Minecraft EDU Official I agree.
The classroom mode tool is an essential tool, but lately I don't even bother with it as the lag renders it unusable.
I know there's a lot on the developers plates... but something to keep in mind for future perhaps! :)

Here's a reimplementation I made that doesn't lag: https://github.com/askvictor/mineclass
There's no Mac installer at the moment, though you should be able to run it directly from source (python). Some bits might be a bit rough around the edges, but mostly works.
