Why We Created Educator Tools

Minecraft Education is an incredibly powerful platform for learning, creativity, and collaboration. However, we saw a gap. Teachers often faced challenges managing their classrooms effectively within the game. Whether it was maintaining student focus, setting up interactive learning materials, or simply keeping track of time, there was a clear need for better tools to support educators.

That is why we created Educator Tools, an open-source add-on designed to make classroom management in Minecraft Education much easier. By giving teachers the ability to control gameplay, set up structured activities, and use customizable letter and number blocks, we aim to enhance engagement while reducing classroom disruptions. Our goal is to provide a toolkit that makes Minecraft Education easier to use so educators can focus on what matters most: teaching and inspiring students.

How We Want Educator Tools to Grow

We believe that great educational tools should be community-driven and open-source. In the future, we envision expanded classroom management features that streamline control within the game. Customizable learning content will allow educators to create interactive lessons using an expanded block and item system. Collaborative development will encourage contributions from educators, developers, and students to improve and refine the toolset. The potential applications go beyond language and math, incorporating subjects like science, history, and computational thinking.

By making Educator Tools free and open-source, we are inviting educators to shape the future of Minecraft-based learning experiences. If you have ideas, feedback, or feature requests, we encourage you to share your thoughts and contribute.
