## Description

Minecraft Education Preview is an exclusive app designed for schools and organizations to experience upcoming features from Mojang Studios’ development team. Focusing on game-based learning, it fosters creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving among students. While in preview mode, users cannot join games hosted on non-preview versions, and settings or worlds from the retail edition will not transfer. However, lessons from the Minecraft Education Library are fully supported.

The preview builds may be unstable as they are work-in-progress versions, and users must have a Minecraft Education license through a Microsoft 365 Admin Center account. Perfect for educators seeking to integrate innovative, interactive learning tools, Minecraft Education Preview empowers classrooms with engaging curriculum-driven gameplay that adapts to educational needs.
