Gmail Accounts
My school will not agree to use Microsoft 360 accounts for our students. We use gmail accounts for everything. Are there any plans for utilizing gmail logins with Minecraft Education Edition in the future? Also, when students download it, is it just an education edition or is it the general Minecraft program?

Hello Jessica Stonecypher
Thanks for reaching out to us. To qualify for Minecraft: Education Edition you must have an Office 365 Education account. https://educommunity.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360047118132-Eligibility-for-Minecraft-Education-Edition-and-Office-365-Education
This version of Minecraft differs a bit from the Bedrock/Java version as it has specialized resources and blocks that teachers are able to use to help control their virtual classroom environment. https://educommunity.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360047117032-Features-of-Minecraft-Education-Edition-
You can however us the Bedrock/Java version of Minecraft for education by utilizing some of the free class resource packs we have available. https://educommunity.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360047556971-Learning-with-Minecraft-Bedrock-and-Java

We are in the same boat with our district. The kids all have chromebooks but Gmail accounts. There seriously cannot only be 365 accounts! We have a principal on board, children with computers and a pandemic draining the life out of every living being. Please there must be something new on the horizon to make this happen without 365 accounts.
