Best Things to make in Minecraft Education Edition

In Minecraft Education Edition, players have access to a ton of useful items that help promote learning and can just generally be helpful in the regular version of Minecraft.

For example, certain items can be crafted from real-world elements to make useful tools for removing color dye or just to make fun items that can be used to decorate bases in Minecraft.

Here we will take a look at some of the best items players can make in the game's education mode, starting with items that hold practical uses to just fun decoration items.

We will also list what the items are for and what you will need to craft them. That said, here is what we at PGG think are the best things to make in Minecraft Education Edition.

Minecraft Education Edition guide: Uses, features, requirements, and more

A special version of Minecraft for education.

• Education Edition toggle different

To most of the world, there are three different versions of Minecraft . The Java Edition is the original version, and it's available on MacOS and Windows PC's. It's known for being big, heavy, and very powerful. It supports mods , third-party tools and software, and has a huge number of hardcore players. The Bedrock Edition is the modern version, built to span across devices, platforms, and generations with a flexible and lightweight foundation. It supports multiplayer across different platforms, private servers known as Realms, and is available on way more devices. Then there are the "legacy" versions that no longer exist, like the old Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 editions.

There's actually one more version of Minecraft and that's the Education Edition. This version is built off the Bedrock Edition, building in powerful features useful for teachers and educators. This is Minecraft build for schools, libraries, museums, and more. It's not for fun, but it does make learning things like math, science, and programming fun. Here's what you need to know.

A game you can play anywhere with anyone.

The only thing that could make Minecraft even better is if you could play it in more places. Wait, you can? That's right, because Minecraft is available on almost every platform imaginable including Xbox One, Windows 10, Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS. Get it everywhere, play it anywhere.

What is Minecraft: Education Edition?

What can you do in minecraft: education edition, how is the education edition toggle different than minecraft: education edition, how do you get minecraft: education edition on your devices.

Back in 2016, Mojang announced a new project to help educators teach their students by using Minecraft as a fun and interactive tool. A little while later, Minecraft: Education Edition was born to the world, and it featured a ton of unique features and plans across a variety of curriculum subjects like architecture, math, chemistry, agriculture, and computer programming. Across all of it, Minecraft: Education Edition is focused on teaching children important critical skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity.

Because the Education Edition is actually just an expanded version of the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft available on Xbox One, Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Windows 10, Android and iOS, it also comes with all the same features present there. However, the Education Edition isn't quite as prolific as its base version, since as of now it's only available on Windows 10, MacOS and iPad devices.

The full Minecraft: Education Edition is specifically tailored to schools, and is currently being used in over 115 countries around the globe. It is a monthly subscription service that requires a Microsoft 365 Education account and a Mojang Account, so access is limited and everyday people won't be able to take advantage unless their school allows it.

There's also a toggle present in the base Bedrock Edition of Minecraft simply labeled "Education Edition" that appears in the Create a New World menu. This toggle is available on more devices like Android phones, and anyone who owns the Bedrock Edition can use it, but isn't as powerful or complicated as the full Education Edition is. More on that toggle down below.

Minecraft: Education Edition includes a surprising number of additional mechanics, administrative features and controls, tools for students to use, and exclusive items and resources that really drive home the focus of the game. The point of the Education Edition is to not only provide a platform in which students can learn, but also give teachers the tools they need to manage their classroom, keep everyone productive, and set the parameters for their lessons.

We'll divide the features of the Education Edition of Minecraft into three categories: items and resources, student tools, and educator tools.

Items and resources in Minecraft: Education Edition

There are a few exclusive blocks or items in Minecraft: Education Edition that aren't available in the Bedrock Edition. Some of these are tailored for use by educators, but the majority of the exclusive items revolve around the Education Edition's extensive chemistry toolset.

The items and resources in Minecraft: Education Edition are:

• Balloon. The balloon levitates when placed, and can even levitate mobs if attached.
• Underwater TNT. TNT typically doesn't work underwater. This kind does.
• Underwater torches. The thing that everyone wants is in the Education Edition—torches that work even while underwater.

There are also a load of chemistry-focused items and resources, which are:

• 118 elements and hundreds of isotopes. The periodic table exists in Minecraft: Education Edition. There are 118 elements and at least 400 stable isotopes for students to choose from.
• Element constructor. Students can create elements and isotopes here, with sliders to choose the number of electrons, protons, and neutrons their atom will have.
• Compound creator. Allows students to combine different elements into compounds. At the moment, there are over 30 compounds such as coal or soap.
• Lab table. Students can take the elements and compounds they have created to craft items like bleach, which are actually usable in the game.
• Material reducer. Where the aforementioned tables are strictly about construction, the material reducer takes Minecraft blocks and reduces them to their base elements. Since not all Minecraft blocks actually, you know, exist, there's a "?" block to represent fictional elements.

Tools and functions for students in Minecraft: Education Edition

Students can do more than just chemistry in Minecraft: Education Edition, and there are also ways for students to track their progress through lessons and challenges. Most importantly, though, is how easy it is for students to work together in Minecraft: Education Edition.

The items available for students to use are:

• Camera. A tool for students to screenshot their projects and work.
• Portfolio. A tool students can use to document their progress.

The functions and features available for students to use are:

• Classroom collaboration. Up to 30 students can work in a world at a time, without the need to set up or rent a server. Students can also work solo, in pairs, or just join their other classmates in a world. This allows educators to scale lessons as needed.
• Code connection. Allows students and educators to play in a fully functional Minecraft world solely by writing code.
• 3D exporting. One of the coolest features of Minecraft: Education Edition is the ability for students to export their projects to Remix 3D and actually build them in the real world using 3D printers.

Tools and functions for educators in Minecraft: Education Edition

A bunch of children hanging out in Minecraft without educators and teachers being able to moderate them is bound to turn into giggle-filled chaos, so of course there are a ton of tools available to help define boundaries and keep students on task. This also helps educators scale lessons and challenges as needed to fit the classroom or objective.

The items available for educators and teachers to use are:

• Chalkboard. Allows educators to outline lesson plans or instructions in game, with various sizes available.
• Allow/deny blocks. Allows educators to specifiy areas where players (students) can build. Allow blocks mean building is allowed, while deny blocks mean, well, the opposite.
• Border blocks. This allows educators to define set areas in which students can roam.

The functions available for educators and teachers to use are:

• Tutorials. Minecraft: Education Edition is quite complicated, and can be very harrowing to the uninitiated. There are tutorial worlds available to both educators and students that teach how to use their respective functions, and the different things you can do in Minecraft: Education Edition.
• Lessons. A very important aspect of Minecraft: Education Edition are the lessons. There are a huge number of lessons available from Mojang's website that are organized by subject and age group. Teachers can also upload their own lessons for other users to access from the website.
• Challenges. In the same vein as lessons, challenges focus less on teaching about a specific structure and more on collaboration and cooperation. Students must work together to accomplish specific tasks. These can range from puzzles, building projects, cartography and much more. These are also available from Mojang's website.
• Classroom mode. This is a master overview of the entire Minecraft world that allows an educator to see where everyone is at, communicate with players, and edit various settings for the world.
• Additional item hotbar. Teachers can equip their students with an additional item hotbar to give them three more items then they could normally carry. Teachers can also populate that hotbar with whatever items they want. This hotbar is vertical to and to the side of the normal hotbar.
• NPC's. Educators can actually design custom NPC's that can act as guide of af sort for students, and can provide additional information, including links to external references.
• Admin commands. Much like commands in vanilla Minecraft, these new admin commands control certain functions of the world. Educators can give players ability to build even when in deny areas, to leave bordered areas, and a whole lot more.

Something that isn't immediately obvious to anyone, myself included, is how Minecraft: Education Edition is actually a fully separated experience from the Bedrock Edition, and how that "Education Edition" toggle you might've noticed when creating a new world in Minecraft doesn't actually enable the full Education Edtion. The reason behind this is simple: unless you're an educator or a student being taught by an educator with access to Minecraft: Education Edition, it might as well not exist for you.

The toggle in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is completely free, but it doesn't unlock all of the features. Instead, this toggle turns on the chemistry features for the Bedrock Edition. This means the elements, isotopes, compounds, and all the tables associated with them. The tutorial maps, admin controls, exclusive blocks and items, and some of the lesson plans and challenges can only be used if you have access to the full Education Edition.

That's not to say the toggle is useless. If you have a child you want to stay productive at home, or if they're staying home for some reason, the toggle still gives you and your child all the chemistry-focused features. If you're child isn't into chemistry (or like mine, is just too young), you can still combine the Bedrock Edition with the many, many lesson plans and challenges available on Mojang's Education Edition website . They'll just be a little more hands-on then if you had access to those admin controls and features.

So it's clear that Minecraft: Education Edition has been designed from the ground up to be very good at what it does. Their Twitter account is full of stories from students and teachers who have used the game for learning. How do you gain the same benefits from Minecraft: Education Edition? There are two different ways, depending on who are you or where you're coming from. Let's go over both.

If you're an educator or student and want Minecraft: Education Edition

The full Minecraft: Education Edition is strictly education, so it has similar requirements that, say, an enterprise-only service would have. There's not a how-to on getting Minecraft: Education Edition, because it depends a lot on who you are. If you're an educator, talk to your admin about using the game for your classroom. If you're a student, talk to your educator.

The requirements for Minecraft: Eduation Edition are:

• You must have a Microsoft 365 Education Account and a Mojang Account in order to sign in.
• You must have either a Windows 10 PC, a MacOS computer, or an iPad running iOS 9 or later.
• If you are an educator, you must be a full-time employee of an educational institution, and have a work-related email provided by the institution.
• If you are an educational institution, you must be operating in an official capacity as an accredited educational institution with the intention to teach its students.
• If you are a home-schooled program, you must be officially recognized by a national organization or local educational institution.
• If you are a library, you must grant free and public access to library services in your community or region.
• If you are a museum, you must be an institution focused on educational purposes, or have permanent professional staff related to an educational program.
• There is typically a subscription cost per user per year, but this can change depending on the volume of the subscription required by the institution, educator, or organization.

As you can see, these requirements are pretty set in stone, and don't give a lot of leeway for everyday people to gain access. That's why the "Education Edition" toggle exists in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, which is available to everyone.

If you don't have access to the full game but still want some of the benefits

If none of the above requirements describe you, you're probably like me or many other people: an average person with no official educational capacity, but either wants to learn, or has someone else (like a child,) to teach. That's okay, Mojang included a toggle in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition that enables the Education Edition's chemistry features, and they made all the lesson plans and challenges on their website accessible to anyone.

To enable these features for yourself, do the following:

• Create a new world in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. We have a guide that goes over everything you need to know about this.
• When creating your world, set the world type to "Creative." While you can do this in Survival, it doesn't make much sense, as you won't have any of the features you're enabling.

• Scroll down until you see the "Activate Cheats" toggle. Go ahead and flip this on. Minecraft will ask you to confirm, which you'll want to do.
• Right below that will be the "Education Edition" toggle. Go ahead and flip that one on too. This will enable the chemistry focused features for Minecraft.
• Create your world. Once you've loaded in, you can find the chemistry features near the bottom of the Creative inventory screen.

Now you can use all the lesson plans and challenges available on Mojang's website to help you out. Unforunately there will be a learning curve, since you won't have any of the tutorial worlds, and not all the lesson plans or challenges will work (like any of the coding plans). Otherwise, you basically have free reign over whatever you want to do! This is a great tool if you want to be more hands-on with your child's learning, and still try to keep it fun.

A fun way to learn

The Education Edition turns Minecraft from an expansive creative sandbox to an interactive learning environment. Teachers can monitor progress and assign lessons while students can work together as a classroom, in groups, or individually to accomplish goals while learning more about various subjects. While most people probably won't ever come in contact with it, it's awesome that Mojang and Microsoft are working to have a more engaging presence in classrooms.

That's not to say the Education Edition has nothing to offer to normal people. Using the Education Edition toggle in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition gives you access to a whole host of chemistry-focused features, and the lesson plans and activities for Minecraft: Education Edition are free to access for everyone. Using this, it's not hard to make sure your children can have fun and stay productive wherever they are.

All Recipes for Minecraft Education Edition [best Secrets from an Expert]

Minecraft is now available to be applied in the real life. With the thing called Minecraft Education Edition, you and your students can make experience based on the Minecraft recipes. For those who are looking for all recipes for Minecraft Education Edition, here is everything for you.

Lab Table Products

Crafting table products, brewing stand products.

All the recipes above are from the Chemistry Lab Journal, which was made by experts. The existing new tools are offered by the Chemistry Update for Minecraft Education Edition to explore the world of chemistry in Minecraft. The Chemistry Resource Pack can be used by you and your students to hold experiments within Minecraft that simulate the real world science.

Element Constructor

The Element Constructor is able to be used by right clicking on it, juts like a normal crafting table. Feel free to make elements by moving the sliders to select the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons that you want or enter the numbers into the column at the top. By using it, you can make 118 elements and more than 400 isotopes.

If you want to check the subatomic particles of a specific element, you can drop an element from the inventory into the result box of the Element Constructor in order to see the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons.

Compound Creator

Just like the regular crafting table and Element Constructor, the Compound Creator can be used by right clicking in it. you can make compounds by adding the appropriate variation and number of elements to the grid. In the end, the compound that you have made will be shown in the outbox box on the righthand side. Keep in mind that the location of the elements on the grid does not affect the result. The Compound Creator has the ability to make more than 30 different compounds.

Craftable Compounds

You can use the Lab Table by right clicking it, just like the usual crafting table. The products can be created by adding the appropriate type and number of elements and or compounds to the grid. When you are ready for the experiment, you can just click the Combine button. If you have made a viable product in the past, you will know that the image sat the top will animate to indicate that you have produced a liquid, solid, or gas. As stated before, the location of the materials on the grid does not affect the result. In the end, the product that you have made will show up after clicking combine. In case the materials that you have combined did not create a viable product, the process will be located in the garbage item.

Minecraft: Best Ways To Get XP

• XP is essential for improving tools & armor in Minecraft . Different methods like mining & trading with villagers can help players level up quickly.
• Mob farms are effective in getting XP. Building a trap room for mobs to spawn & die repeatedly can provide a steady stream of XP.
• Killing the Wither or Ender Dragon can result in a burst of XP. Building a mob grinder or smelting materials are other efficient ways to earn XP.

XP in Minecraft is almost a necessity. If players are to improve their tools, armor, and general way of life in Minecraft , they will need to garner XP to put Enchantments on their gear. However, XP isn’t the easiest to obtain, and sometimes, it can take far too long just to get a few levels, when the risk of dying and losing them is around every corner or hissing Creeper.

5 Popular Minecraft Fan Theories

The best ways to get XP in Minecraft involve a plethora of different methods. XP is universal in Minecraft , so builders, explorers, miners, adventurers, and more all have different methods of obtaining it. However, there are only a few truly effective methods to get quick XP in Minecraft .

Updated on March 5, 2024, by Jake Fillery: For the players asking how to get XP fast in Minecraft, this list may be of assistance. There are plenty of efficient methods to obtaining XP, and players can earn a bounty of rewards to spend on their favorite enchantments. The best way to get XP in Minecraft often involves mob farms, allowing players to construct complex towers to easily defeat immobile enemies whilst at no risk of death to themselves. Plenty of the fastest ways to get XP in Minecraft rely on different tactics, and there are countless opportunities to choose from between builders, miners, and attackers.

Mine Resources Like Coal & Diamonds For Quick XP

Grab a pickaxe and head down to the dark and dangerous caves, as mining is one of the most efficient and common sources of XP. For materials that do not need to be smelted, players can earn XP straight away. Chipping away at Coal, Diamonds, Redstone and other materials will provide nice surges of XP.

Mining is essential to survival worlds, as players will need to descend into the depths of their worlds to obtain valued resources to deepen their understanding of creation and explore the Nether and beyond, so mining is always a nice excuse to get out there and earn XP.

Create An Enderman Farm

Make a farm in the end to horde enderman xp.

Enderman farms may be a complex and time-consuming addition, but if players have already reached The End in Minecraft, then there's no harm in creating one. The process may seem a tad intimidating due to the number of building blocks needed, but the fact that players will not need to experiment with Redstone makes this one of the safest mob farms to do, so long as they provide a plethora of lava.

An Enderman farm can help players reach level 33 in just over a minute, providing the fastest XP in Minecraft , as long as they have the time and patience to build the farm itself. Players will earn XP from dead Endermen, as well as plenty of Ender Pearls, providing use in terms of XP and item gain.

Create A Blaze Farm

Easily trap blazes to make a competent xp farm.

Discovering a stronghold in Minecraft is a bounty of reward and danger. They are filled with exciting chests and almost always, a Blaze spawner. This spawner should be kept under lock and key, as it will be essential for a farming spot made out of lava and glass panels. Players can mine out a specific sized area to cause the Blazes to spawn, only to be trapped in the same block, where players can hit them until the Blazes die, and drop that lovely XP and Blaze Rods.

It's one of the best ways to get XP in Minecraft , especially since players will need Blaze Rods for certain potions and exploring The End. It's a late game process that requires a lot of glass, but it's a near infinite resource that can most certainly aid players.

Destroy Sculk

Use a hoe for quick xp when destroying sculk materials.

Down in the depths of Minecraft ’s new cave system, players will be able to find the deep dark biome . Within this biome lurks the dangers of the Warden, as well as many interesting blocks. The sculk family blocks consist of Sculk, Sculk Catalyst, Sculk Sensors, and Sculk Shriekers. These blocks are threatening in their own right, but destroying them drops XP.

Minecraft: 10 Items That Deserve An Update

Players should be cautious of summoning the Warden though, as all that XP will be lost if that hostile and near-unstoppable mob finds the player. However, with a hoe, players can make quick work of these Sculk blocks, and happily build their XP levels.

Locate A Spawner In Caves Then Build A Trap Room To Claim Their XP

Mobs are always an effective way of getting XP. Players not only will be able to attack evil creatures in Minecraft , but they will sometimes obtain their loot. Players can run around in the night looking for mobs, or they can build a mob farm, using tons of materials to trap mobs in a loop of spawning and death.

Players are quite innovative with the mob farms they create, leading to easy access to killing mobs for a near-infinite amount of accessible XP. It’s always an effective method, as long as players have the materials for it or the luck of finding a mob spawner in a cave.

Villager Trading

Trade emeralds & items with villagers for xp per trade.

Villager trading is useful in its own right. Players can make the best villager trades in Minecraft by choosing their roles, and in doing so, the player will be able to trade and sell off items they don’t need or have easy access to, to earn themselves emeralds and XP.

Each trade will grant the player a small amount of XP, but if the Villager they are trading with has their workstation and bed nearby, players can infinitely trade their stock. This means that XP is a great source from villager trades, as Minecraft players may have an infinite supply of vegetables or other assortments to trade with.

Use Grindstones

Remove enchantments from tools & armor for xp.

Although using a Grindstone may not be the best way to get XP in Minecraft , it’s still pretty effective for players that have unwanted enchantments on their items. Some players may end up farming their Enchantment Tables for the best enchantments in Minecraft for their sword, armor, or other tools, which may leave them with plenty of spare tools.

These spare tools do not have to be discarded through a lava bin, or thrown to eventually despawn. Players can take the item to the Grindstone to disenchant it, and receive experience points for doing so, the amount depends on the modified item level.

Mining Nether Quarts

A common mining item in the nether with provides great xp.

Mining ores like coal and diamonds will grant the player XP, but the most effective method is Nether Quarts. Sure, it may be a struggle to get to the Nether in the first place, and quite scary in doing so thanks to the plethora of dangerous mobs that lurk in this strange dimension, but it is entirely worth it.

Players will be able to shoot up in XP levels if they mine Nether Quarts. These effective blocks are practically in every direction, left, right, up, and down. The near-infinite arrival of Nether Quarts means players can level up fast in the Nether.

Trade With Piglins

Trades with piglins need only gold & provide xp per trade.

The Nether is a dangerous place, and players might want to bring plenty of protection when they venture to the dark and alternate realm. However, if there’s one thing players will need, it’s a piece of gold armor on their person so that they are not attacked by Piglins.

Gold isn’t exactly rare in the Nether or when mining and players can use the plentiful gold resources they have to trade with Piglins. Trading with Piglins will give players XP and useful items that they can use, bartered from Piglins.

Breeding Animals

Create a greater food source & earn xp in the process.

Not only are animals useful for their cuteness in the Minecraft world, and the meat that they can supply players, but in breeding, animal players will get a reasonable amount of XP. It may not be the quickest or most effective method in gaining levels, but it’s always good to have a solid supply of animals for food sources.

Having a huge amount of, say, cows, will mean that the player has instant access to one of the best food sources in the game, leather, as well as XP every time cows breed and produce another baby. It’s not the fastest XP way, but it sure is peaceful.

Smash Bottles O’ Enchanting

A throwable potion that grants xp when smashed.

The throwable potion that grants XP, the Bottle o’ Enchanting will drop anywhere between 3 to 11 XP orbs. If players want to obtain the Bottle o’ Enchanting, they are going to want to either trade with a Master-level cleric villager, or they can be found in chests from Ancient Cities, Pillager Outposts, Shipwrecks, and Buried Treasure stashes.

Bottle o’ Enchanting drops are a great encouragement for exploration. Players will be able to find a grand amount of rewards if they are to venture out into the Minecraft world. Although seeking these rare riches, players might want to bring a sword and some armor.

Catch Fish Or Items & Earn XP Per Catch

Fishing has been an effective way to level up for years in Minecraft . Each time the fishing rod snags and a player finds something on their line, they will earn XP for whatever they find. Whether it’s a fish, a book, or some rotting flesh, fishing is a great method for XP.

Not only can fishing help players gain quick and peaceful levels, but the fact that some of the loot they can pull up from the water is great enchanting books and bows means that fishing is an effective way to become stronger in Minecraft .

Kill The Wither

The wither grants a burst of xp upon its death.

For players that are asking how to get XP fast in Minecraft , a battle with the Wither may be the challenge for them. The best thing about killing the Wither is the fact that players are responsible for this hostile boss in Minecraft . Players can create the Wither by using 4 soul sand in a T shape and placing 3 Wither skeleton heads on top. Be warned, the Wither is a challenge, and it's certainly not an activity to destress.

Players can find 50 experience points from killing the Wither, as well as devastation from the Wither’s hostile arena. Players definitely shouldn’t spawn a Wither in their base. Not only is killing the Wither great for XP, but players will also find the Nether Star drop.

Killing The Ender Dragon

The ender dragon explodes with xp when defeated.

Although it is best saved for the late/end-game experience, killing the Ender Dragon grants a ridiculously good amount of XP. Once defeated, the Ender Dragon will explode into a ton of experience orbs for the player to absorb.

Although it’s a fairly easy way to level up depending on the players’ difficulty and experience, the fact that it’s quite a journey to resurrect and fight the Ender Dragon again means that at this point, players might not even need the XP for this end-game content.

Make A Mob Grinder

Horde an infinite amount of enemies for quick & safe kills that gives bursts of xp.

One of the fastest ways to get XP in Minecraft is to build a Mob Grinder. Players may enjoy the ease of access from a Mob Spawner, but they might be seeking a building challenge that will truly make an ultimate tower of mob death for a bounty of endless XP that requires no real work outside of just waiting patiently for creepers, skeletons, and zombies to fall into a fiery pit of doom.

There are plenty of guides on how to build a mob grinder in Minecraft . If anything is certain, it’s the amount of materials that are needed to make it. Players can build many different variants of a mob grinder, but they will all consistently provide valuable XP.

Smelting Materials

Use furnaces & smelters to cook materials for xp.

Understanding the cooking process in Minecraft will help players earn XP, as smelting down raw ores and other cookable items like raw meats, will allow the smelter to work fast at turning that sweet material into something more usable. Yet, there's another advantage, which is the plethora of XP players can earn just from cooking down their items and claiming them from the smelters and furnaces.

It's a passive way to claim XP, and pretty efficient because if players want to get anywhere further in their survival worlds, they need to smelt, so there's always an excuse to get XP. Another addition is the fact that smelting easily obtainable materials like cacti and kelp can provide decent XP gains for cooked stacks.
