Beta Known issues:
Coding: On rare occasions, while coding in Code Builder, the code may run out of order or skip steps.

We'd love to get your feedback about the release, from technical issues to any thoughts about our new features! Find out how to join the beta here!
Our betas normally last 4-6 weeks before we release to general availability. However, we are not able to provide an exact release date at this time.

This is not a bug at all, this is a game mechanic that was added to minecraft bedrock in the 1.14 update. Look here for more details-

Any estimate on repairing the UNESCO Build Challenge world? My students are eager to get started but they can't get past the NPC (as noted above). The challenge is a very short timeframe when you only see students a few times a week.

Will Minecraft Education ever get experimental features such as the ones in Bedrock? I'd really like to see more addons being able to be used as most of them need experimental features. 0 -
Hi Mary Phillips - the team is still working on getting the UNESCO build challenge world to work in the beta. Since it is a short timeframe, you may want to consider uninstalling the beta and installing the production 1.14 build to complete the challenge.

Dylan ANDERSON after the beta period is complete, we'll release to general availability and you will be able to access the GOAT update without joining the beta. We don't have a release date to share yet.

Marshall Adams @... Isaac Chai This thread is about feedback on the beta. Folks who help the community by testing out the beta use this thread to communicate with the MC:EDU team and one another about features in the beta. Please follow community guidelines and help everyone in the community by putting all your best suggestions for new features in the feature wishlist thread, instead. Just so you know, posting outside of a topic of a thread is considered hijacking a thread, and not how we want our posts to be organized in the community. Thanks!

Marshall Adams I'm interested to hear more about the issue you are having giving yourself a photo with a command. Could you send us all the steps you take to see the crash, or even better record a video showing how you get to the crash? These photo actions are new to Education Edition so you may have found a bug!

The update is good I just think you and your team should add experimental game play and animation so you lean towards the pocket edition side. Also add like something were you can make a Minecraft story animation and emotes. Thats all from mee

Anyone know if the 1.17 update will include the functionality of using the @initiator selector in the NPC Dialogue Files?

Just a minor bug, just wanted to point it out:
If you are flying around sometimes, certain points on a map (take a treasure map for example) will load more in chunks, other than doing the pixelated animation on the map normally.
My school handed out laptops are working on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, if you were wondering! Heres a snip:
