Minecraft Education Edition’s Failures 

Removed? That totally sounds like they care a lot, and want to improve on it. /s

Mojang's behavior nowadays is being so far up their ass that they refuse to hear us. This is also the case with the Java and Bedrock Editions. They just don't care. They don't care about listening to us, they don't care about fixing their website, they don't care about fixing ANYTHING, and they don't care about putting out a quality product, let alone a finished one. Stop wasting your time.

Should probably talk to Phoenix SC, he sheds light on things that are incorrect in Minecraft, which gets a lot of the community riled up on Reddit, which Mojang eventually changes to calm them down.

The collab i did't know i needed

@@Tinkuwu something interesting with the RU-vid studio tools, I can see what channels my subs also watch the most. Not specific users but just people who watch you also watch this sort of thing. A lot of my channel also watches Phoenix SC.

It's a problem as old as the concept of expertise itself. Experts in a given subject will assume more competence and interest from regular people than is actually the case.

Maybe after a certain age. Adolescents absolutely pick up any cool rock, pile of dirt, or stick that they find and admire it.

lol, you got me.

it's true! You have to have at least *some* earth sciences education to recognize leaverite. (as in "leave 'er right there", an uninteresting rock.)

Incorrect: I sometimes say "wow! a giant rock!" when I see a giant rock.

Nah its probably for public schools. They were already doomed when they were born

Pretty sure Microsoft have shifted their focus to monetising the Minecraft IP and will justify this by saying "Look we offer a Windows-only C++ plugin for Minecraft Bedrock, that's educational innit"

Unfortunately when it comes to educational content for public schools in general, I'm pretty sure this sort of lazy implementation is the norm rather than the exception. Mojang should be that exception though, and it would be nice to see that.

@@squiddler7731yeah, I mean I’ve never seen anyone in my school use any other tool other than Notepad app on windows.

I mean, I’d say that Minecraft Java and Bedrock are excellent educational products and easily could be marketed as such, building=geometry, most of basic redstone=logic/circuitry, parkor=coordination and timing, obviously soft skills like art research and collaboration. Education, good education anyway has very little to do with fact memorization, which is where education edition fails. It’s not that the facts are wrong, even if they are. It’s that they are meaningless and inconsequential in the game. (Partly by trying to be “scientifically accurate”)

Are these elements present in more than 1%? It’s possible they didn’t want to confuse people by talking about this but not having them obtainable in this way in-game

@@insertnamehere9718 phosphorus is like 1.1%, sulfur more like 0.02/3% (still super important though)

@@IronHexacyanoferrate yeah, I guess they just didn’t want to make it too complex. I get the impression that this is largely aimed at late primary-mid secondary students, and primarily from a Chemistry angle. Other sciences would be super cool, though! (Maybe the players have to build (part of) a protein by decoding (part of) a gene? Or put Minecraft mobs into certain environments and watch them evolve?

CHONPS!

@@insertnamehere9718the percentages don't do it justice. I learned a lot about ATP in freshman biology that I promptly forgot, but I know for a fact that those elements are important for everything about cells.

Don't worry, i plan to do a sand episode and i have an extensive collection from around the world and show all the cool types. There are other options for red but i figured its the easy option to explain

@@gneissname I'm actually very excited for the sand episode, and I'd love to see your sand collection. A sentence I never expected to write.

@@clockwork_mind it’s something I never thought I would admit publicly lol.

Seriously, you get more realism from Gregtech.

"Destroy" feels more thought out than high school chemistry.

Now?

​@@meowmeowcat99the quiet part has been said out loud for awhile, now

Now? They've been doing it since forever. Like when they ignored the bad consequences of smoking and hid the results. Or when they didn't tell those who used radium to paint some stuff - forgot which one - that radium is fucking bad for you, so the women who worked there had their jaws literally rot off because they used their mouths to make the brushes have finer, thinner tips. It is not new at all. Companies are only interested in making as much profit as they can, and they don't give a shit about anything else unless they're forced to.

That would cost some small amount of money to consult an expert. Much cheaper to just have some intern Google it (or ask ChatGPT) and make a crappy product so it exists and the C-Suite can check it off their wishlist.

@@elu9780 Yes now, the smoking thing was not the companies "forgetting" that smoking is not particularly healthy they intentionally made propaganda stating the opposite. The uranium thing was, to my knowledge, just not known to be dangerous and assumed by everyone not just the companies using it to be safe. This now is companies doing, or well not doing, something when information that tells them why the opposite is better not only exists but is stupidly easy to aquire. And yes it would be better for them, if they spent the money to correct education edition to be accurate more schools might use it making them more money.

HBM's Nuclear Tech - Extended Edition taught me more about.. everything then school has

Yeah, Mods have been better than this attempt to basically Scam schools out of money

@@tacticaltoaster5777 if you play 1.12.2 often, try also using NTM Extended

Until it gets to the EOH stuff lol. Maybe in the future when we get ASI and it makes us gods or smth. Or it kills us all.

If you do, I would love to hear your thoughts. My email is in the channel info or you could DM me on discord. Here is fine too actually. I do some paleobotany work in Montana and there term called plant blindness that I love. Basically we tent to just ignore the non-animal part of ecosystems even though the animal part is a very small part of the total.

This reminds me of a planting trees issue. If I remember correctly it was where habitat that had been lost due to humans was being given back to nature but instead of making grasslands or marsh areas or whatever should of been there, people were planting trees and things instead that was creating just a different ecological area than what its meant to be and not actually helping the biodiversity that existed/exists. (And now this has reminded me of people freeing freshwater animals into saltwater or captive bred pets into the wild. Humanity needs to think before it does things, even when trying to "help"😅)

@@sillyface6950 Yes, this is a significant problem in ecology right now, especially in places like Africa where ignorant people believe that they should plant trees on the Savannah to create forests. The Savannah is its own ecosystem, separate to prairie or forest (it is like a grassland with sparse tree cover); it has also been an issue where I live in Illinois. Settlers planted nonnative pines in our Dunesland and when ecologists tried to cut them down, the locals protested because they were used to the trees being there. However, the Dunes here are a rare Black Oak Savannah biome that has rare native grasses that need light! It's a complicated issue and it requires a lot of education and public outreach to teach people these things. (The dunes im sure are another thing that we could use more geological knowledge on; the area I volunteer by the lakeshore has sandy soil and im sure there's a variety in the soil types there)

​@sillyface6950 Wildfires. Smokey bear is probably responsible for like half of what is happening in California forests. Dry scrubland environments *need* naturally occuring fire cycles and humans have unintentionally made things worse by trying to 'save' the forests by preventing that lol. We see it here in Florida too, pine uplands are a very rare yet extraordinarily diverse ecosystem. Thankfully our park service is pretty good about regularly scheduled and safe controlled burns, and it helps that we have a consistent heavy rainy season.

As a fellow ecologist who specialises in fungi (among other things), I can tell you fungal blindness is even worse than plant blindness, haha. Even in the literal sense, people think there are no mushrooms anywhere near them. There always are...

I saw them but didn't play with them. Reminds me of the copper golem.

@@fusionwing4208 ...That's a fair point. Reminds me of an SCP that takes place in Minecraft yet affects the player at the actual keyboard, and the only cure is for the actual player to "drink one cubic meter of milk" (which would be a lethal dose of lactose for _anybody,_ apparently)...

Honestly this is extremely on brand for Mojang.

@@DissonantSynthnot needed bro

I mean, the same thing is true of actual educational material in schools. A lot of people leave school without even a very shallow understanding of the world around us... and without having any idea how much deeper it actually gets when you drill down. I wouldn't be surprised if most USAmericans didn't even undestand the basics of Newtonian gravity. I've met people who "knew" about general relativity... but thought that it only applies in extremes and that only Newtonian gravity will give you the right answer for non-extremes (rather than, you know, us using Newtonian gravity because it's simpler to use, even if it's less accurate - as long as you don't require that extra accuracy). What you should really learn at school is that our view of the world is distorted through models, with different models having different pros and cons. That's the hardest part to get across in a game, because a game of course _is_ a model - not a real world with deep underlying complexities that we're trying to describe with a set of imperfect models, each useful in different cases. There are always some unintended consequences and emergent behaviours, but they tend to be frowned upon and ignored in "educational" games (rather than being a huge addition to the core educational experience). And of course, they're just educational _tools_ . It's still something that should be used by a teacher, not just thrown at kids to give them something to do. Having a better base would be much better overall (there's many mods in Minecraft Java that would do a better job, and can be tweaked by the teacher), but you always pick and choose. The main problem I have with Educational edition is that they could have done a lot better job with the basics for no real extra cost (such as using reasonable rock composition; we're literally talking about a few minutes of Wikipedia "research" here!) and that it gives very few options for the teachers to have meaningful control over what's being taught - you get what you get, and you can't really show anything else you'd want. When you look at the craziness modded Minecraft is capable of, it's really a missed opportunity. Why not have the option to configure the composition of items and compounds? Add your own machines with recipes or simple code? Even a very simple basic system for extensibility could open up so many possibilities... and imagine properly supporting the sharing of all those things. But I guess that would interfere with some rules somewhere... or monetization. Yay :D

​@@LuaanTiat my American highschool, taking physics classes are Entirely Optional

@@mint530 I think that was one of the big bad decisions that already has massive repercussions and will only get worse (as well as making the difference between the "rich" and the "poor" ever bigger; public education is one of the great equalizers). Worse, the more you are exposed this as a normal state of affairs, the more it _sounds_ like a good idea - and of course, it's not exactly hard to convince most school children that less school is better :D

I've always had a passion for biology, and most of my knowledge about it is from online resources I've found in my free time and my college courses. There was a tiny bit of it there, but still it's disappointing to go to school wanting to learn about a field of interest and seeing that the subject is neglected. This is not to mention that I have barely any grasp on history and had very few history classes; even fewer that weren't about America's founding or that just briefly mentioned a few big empires throughout history. As someone who has talked to people that literally don't think the world is round and question gravity I realize how much of that could come from simply never being taught about these things in a meaningful way.

@@mint530 what other classes from the basic curriculum are entiry optional in america, if you dont mind me asking? im already aware of sedex, which is something i learned as part of a biologiy class, since it IS biology. idk it's just very haunting to hear that and then seeing those videos such as the one veritassium made in which people in actual universities, so like, the people seeking HIGHER education, didnt know the difference between a planet and a star. when you come from a country like mine where all subjects are set in stone k-12 (which is sadly chaging too) you think that these people are the exception but when you get told something as crucial to understanding the world around you such as physics is completely optional to consider you an educated adult things get very foreboding

I miss when Minecraft wasn't owned by Microsoft not that I hate everything that they have done. There are some improvements. But. The love is gone. They don't seem to gaf about the game anymore.

Lots of very cool ways to incentivise learning through gameplay mechanics-if you have a goal in mind you'll be more inclined to learn new information to help you achieve that goal. Want lasers? Learn to isolate rare earth elements.

Alchemistry with Chemlib? First thing I thought about when I learned of the elements in Education Edition. I know Schools are probably reticent to install mods on hundreds of PCs, but at least there's no sub.

ALCHEMISTRY MOD IS SO GREAT FR FR Chemical Decomposer is the goat from my Modded Skyblock world xD

@@Persun_McPersonson because it sounds cool probably

Time to contact CarlSagan42? He did try out Minecraft and is looking for a new biology job, that could be used in his resume!

Who wants to deal with the agent lessons?

I seem to remember cody from Cody's lab using minecraft to explain adding silver to gold to purify it with acid :)

I mean ideally mojang/microsoft should've done that themselves. It's on them to get the information right, it should be on them to hire professors, scientists, hell even just one chemist could look at this and find glaring faults in it. When you're going to portray items out of a hundred, you'd think they'd actually look up the percent of each element that was actually in that item.

they already screwed up with the new "wolf breeds" by putting in two that aren't even wolves and one that isn't even a canine.

For further context, netherrack was originally called bloodstone, and its old texture was just reddened cobblestone, with red streaks added on top.

wait what? where did you get this information?

Netherrack also makes a squishy sound, as if you are walking on flesh. Warped biomes and crimson both are fungus that gets it's nutrients from the dead stuff below it. It's flesh and always will be.

@@derevianne1108 from the game itself? It was called bloodstone, made a flesh sound, and it's still called Hell internally to this day. I'm not sure what you're asking for here because everything in this thread is true

@@verde7595 bloodstone doesn't imply it being "semi-living flesh" just as limestone doesn't imply that it tastes like lime

Minecraft education is for learning on how to code

Good tool for coding in Minecraft

Education Edition is actually on bedrock

@@SuperPotatoKingthen why does it lean into elements and chemistry almost exclusively? It may have resources for learning programming, but almost everything that is unique to Education Edition is Chemistry based.

They're not exclusive, you can get them on Bedrock with a toggle. People mostly use education edition for the codebuilder integration and the agent, which are focused on learning how to code.

Something I didn't mention in the video was that I'm guessing that most of the educators using the education edition probably aren't super familiar with vanilla minecraft. It makes these incomplete tools/lessons even worse.

I think the Education Edition is potentially the source of a lot of the problems the game has had in its development since. They probably took government funding to make it, and probably continue to receive such funding to do the bare minimum of maintenance. If there were some terms in the contract which granted that funding whose wording applied to the main game, even if unintentionally. that would explain the strange commitment to representing real world animals in a "responsible" way and the reluctance to integrate new blocks and systems into the old progression system as well as why their uses tend to be limited and have one big gimmick that they revolve around. And they can't discontinue the Education Edition even though they've practically deprecated it because they're still subject to that contract or an extension of it.

MineChem and Terrifirmacraft actually have better implementation of elemental breakdown for items

Honestly, the Alchemistry mod for Java is better than the Education edition after this video.

I was going to toss a joke in there asking if they were addressing the royals

I was thinking the same thing. I'm a writer with a lot of UK and dutch friends and they all talk and write like that.

This may just be me, but as an American both the "be they" and "whilst" seem perfectly fine to me, sure maybe a little formal. Maybe it's just that i listen to a lot of informative stuff on RU-vid and much of that is British. Weird on the whilst though - they put a period before it instead of linking the clauses with a comma. This sounds strange because "Whilst living things are largely carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen." is not a good sentence because it only consists of a dependent clause. That and the error conflating chemicals and elements, it's pretty clear that QA was not very involved in the process of the making of this blog

@@rheiagreenland4714Also American and the only thing wrong with “be they” and “whilst” was the bizarre way he said them when reading them aloud as if they are alien runes

​@@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes He actually replied to a comment that used that same construction (be it) without remarking on it. To be clear, this isn't some ... Let's not blow this out of proportion. It's just a mistake. :)

even just watching the video made me annoyed that it's so unhelpful. Why do school boards pay for this shit? They spend so much money on making our schools "better"/more technologically advanced and then pay teachers like shit, give us questionnaires with the vaguest questions ever, and claim that they're doing a great job. It's a shame on both mojang, and also the school boards and school districts actually paying for this crap.

What does whilst mean in england then? I never even thought about the different meanings of while

@@LilacMonarch they are almost identical. Both can be interchanged when used a conjunction or adverb, but only "while" can be used as a noun, i.e. "she spoke for quite a while".

Whilst is still pretty rare in England

@@propoppop9866 I wouldn’t say it’s rare. I see it used all the time.

There's definitely differences in usage between British dialects. Some places it's rare, some places it's pretty common. I think the most common way I use/hear it, is in the form of "whilst you're doing that..."/"whilst you're at it..." when asking for something. Some people say it like this, some people use "while", and some people switch to whatever they're feeling at the time.

Oh, a DF video would be amazing.

i know nothing about dwarf fortress but this seems coolio

Wait, there’s no “creative” mode in DF, so on top of a geology lesson we also get a playthrough lol

@@eddiedoesstuff872 DFhack is functionally creative mode. You can reveal the whole map and just scroll through it, probably the easiest way to peek

@@eddiedoesstuff872 Well there's technically the DFHack mod and its associated commands. At the very least, that could reveal the entire map, letting one see the clusters of the different stone types and how they change by z-level/layer. Honestly, for those unfamiliar with DF, looking at each level of the world that way, you realize it's not totally realistic, you have the main materials comprising each z-level of stone and then just these big capsule-shaped blobs of other related stone types rotated randomly and arranged in a gridlike pattern throughout it, with some veins of ores and clusters of gems running through. It's a noticeable pattern. And these shapes are very 2D, they're just spread across their single z-level, with no verticality to them. In fact, there's even a DFHack command called 3DVeins one can run, to change the veins of stone, ores, and gems, etc on your map to be spread out vertically across the adjacent z-levels instead of just the single layers, as it is in vanilla. But, with the variety that exists in DF and the rules world generation is made to follow, it's still much, much closer to reality than minecraft is or could be.

there's probably inaccuracies in both due to them being gamified but they're definitely a lot closer to real life than edu edition which is sad because they aren't designed to be teaching tools

It would be cool if caves could only form in Limestone on TFC

Depending on the pack, Gregtech Ores and Ore processing ranges from acceptable but simplified to painfully realistic depending on how evil the developer was feeling that particular morning. But its said by the mod developers that most gregtech alloys and materials are not realistic, especially past HV just from experience.

I've observed that it feels like general material science advancements roadblock a LOT of progress we need to make as a species, it's discouraging but slightly vindicating to hear it from a professional that yeah, the roots of the science we *should* be prioritizing more *are* sorely neglected. How did this even come to happen anyway?

@@Starfloofle I'm far from being a professional, and I don't think it's necessarily the "roots" of science being neglected. I just think what is perhaps more directly relevant to a person's experience is left by the wayside for more pure studies like physics or chemistry, simply because those aren't synthesis topics like earth science is. I understand people need a foundation for these things, but well, we don't exactly live in a pure world; we live in a synthesis world, and I just worry about the consequences of disconnecting people from that.

I am American I use both regularly enough, tbh. Probably "be it" more than "be they", but both are part of my lexicon.

the main issue there is the period creating a sentence fragment and the general awkward feeling. other than that it's perfectly sound grammatically.

Yeah, I also have no issue with it

As an American, "whilst you're doing that I'm gonna go do this" to me feels like a fairly regular thing that could be said. "whilst" (regardless of if it's used properly) doesn't feel like a weird, old or inherently formal word but instead just like a regular part of vocabulary.

I'm pretty sure its lumped in with the Microsoft ecosystem. We use it for our email and office and teams, etc. I don't know anyone that is actually using the education edition. Maybe for STEM outreach.

I think I can see the appeal for like, elementary schools, where keeping the kids engaged is vital in actually getting the material across, but definitely not in a university setting, even if Education Edition was robust and competently made

"They have the money" Are you saying they should cut into their huge profits??? Le gasp

I honestly doubt Mojang is capable of shame.

heh, rocks

I agree but feel the need to clear up a potential misconception: the phrase you were looking for is probably display entity, that new type of entity added in a recent update which this channel has been using extensively to create staggering levels of polish in its content. the term "block entity" refers to the extra data tied to certain functional blocks which need to track more information than can be realistically handled using blockstates. Blocks which store items like barrels and jukeboxes, blocks which store entity data like spawners and beehives, and certain blocks whose mechanics require non-trivial storage of state like beacons and end gateways are each tied to a block entity when placed in the world. You may notice that blocks in this category typically cannot be moved by pistons and that technical players often advise against using them in large quantities when it can be avoided. If I had to guess, you probably already know most of this and accidentally used the term without thinking because it was on the tongue. I put this lengthier explanation here for anyone curious about the difference who happens across this thread.

I blame the Mojang higher-ups, Microsoft (or atleast the Microsoft body that has todo with minecraft and other Microsoft games), possibly invertors and probably even the UN (for atleast the whole preservation thing, maybe a money insentive, idk how, just came to my mind, i love making up shit on the internet, but honestly, idk if anybody remembers the time the UN gave us those rules for multiplayer shooters, with being humane and not targeting friendly NPCs and shit like that, this seems like a very UN type shit todo) for the lackluster updates and Education's shitty condition. I hope they will finally turn back to polishing their shit that they are making rn. But... just dont hate the on the poor devs, they've gotten enough shit already D:

Or serval other animals like the polarbears.

@@kowikowi8718 exactly.

The reason WE have No t rexes ist cuz Kids killed them all after playing tomb Raider ofc

You might like TerraFirmaCraft. I don't think it has rock glass making, but it has plenty of other step-by-step processes.

gregtech has multistep processing of ores and creation of chemical compounds

@@galoomba5559 ooo, yes, I might. I am looking for something with a very minecrafty feel to it, and terrafirmacraft gives me that better than some other modpacks.

For something simpler, Alchemistry lets you break items down into compounds and rearrange them, compounds into atoms, and atoms into subatomic particle.

@@Jamseth_Ingramious Hmm, interesting! I don't know why, but one of my first thoughts was "What if this, but magic was added?" like how MC:EE has the mystery material added within more fictional blocks

yeah, that mod is incredible compared to this, the reactions are way more dynamic and realistic than any other mod I’ve seen
