Although most players are familiar with the distinctions between Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, not many are knowledgeable about the distinctions between these two versions and Education Edition. Education Edition is a spinoff of the primary version of the game, originally available through Bedrock before evolving into its own distinct entity.
This version of the game prioritizes educating the youth and includes numerous compelling features that significantly enhance the base game. The top five of these features are elaborated on below.
Potential Educational Features for Base Minecraft
1) Basic Elements and Their Interactions
Including elements and compounds, as well as their corresponding systems, workstations, and items, in the base game would be incredibly intriguing. The ability to break down items into their elemental components and then use the compound creator and lab table to create new items would lead to the development of advanced technological elements that would be truly impressive.
This would provide an opportunity to introduce new technology that has not yet been explored by mods, injecting new excitement into the game. It could potentially evoke a similar experience to that of the renowned Equivalent Exchange mod, one of the top mods in the history of Minecraft.
2) Submersible flashlights
Underwater torches are just as practical in a regular survival world as they are simple in concept. They are essentially regular torches that are able to function underwater without breaking. With the changes to Minecraft’s ore distribution, caves have become the most efficient way to gather resources. This is especially true for underwater caves, as they are free from hostile mobs.
A major disadvantage of this mining technique is the inability to see clearly because torches cannot be placed. As a result, the introduction of underwater torches would greatly enhance the gameplay.
3) Exploding Underwater: The Power of Underwater TNT
In terms of concept, underwater TNT and underwater torches are alike. However, unlike regular TNT, underwater TNT is not affected by water and can be utilized in a variety of scenarios without its explosive power being diminished.
Although regular TNT is essential for several of Minecraft’s complex farms, underwater TNT could prove beneficial in specific scenarios. As previously mentioned, this explosive type could aid players in breaking blocks while experiencing mining fatigue, which is typically impossible, especially in ocean monuments.
4) Brighten Up Your Space with Colored Torches
Colored torches are simply different versions of the regular torch, which are available in blue, red, purple, and green. The color of the torch depends on the type of metal chloride used during the crafting process. As a result, these torches emit light in a corresponding color.
Builders would greatly benefit from having these torches as they provide endless opportunities with additional lighting options. The inclusion of underwater versions would further expand the potential uses of these invaluable tools.
5) Tempered glass
Exclusive to Education Edition, hardened glass is a distinct type of glass. Its texture stands out from the game’s regular glass with its thick border. Available in panes and various color options matching Minecraft’s numerous dyes, it sets itself apart from regular glass by not needing any special tools to break into item form and also by being more durable.
The use of tempered glass is comparable to that of tinted torches. It would be beneficial to have an additional texture choice when constructing with glass, as it would eliminate the need for silk touch to pick up the blocks and make experimentation more convenient. Requiring one of Minecraft’s top enchantments solely for comfortable glass building can be quite exasperating.
