Minecraft Education Preview is an exciting opportunity for players to get a sneak peek at upcoming features in the popular game, Minecraft. Developed by Mojang Studios, this preview version allows players to experience new content before it is officially released. However, there are a few important things to note before diving into the Preview.
Firstly, it's important to know that Preview players will not be able to join games with non-Preview players. This is because the Preview version may have different features and settings that are not compatible with the retail version of Minecraft Education. Speaking of settings, it's also important to keep in mind that most settings from the retail version will not be preserved in the Preview. This means that players may have to adjust their settings again when switching between the two versions.
Another important thing to note is that any worlds played in the Preview will not transfer over to the retail version of Minecraft Education. This is because the Preview version is still in development and may have changes that could affect the worlds. However, players can still access and use lessons from the Library in the Preview.
It's also worth mentioning that Preview builds may be unstable and do not represent the final version quality. This means that players may encounter bugs or glitches while playing the Preview version. However, this is to be expected as the game is still in development and the final version may be different.
If you're interested in purchasing a Minecraft Education license, you will need Admin access to a Microsoft 365 Admin Center account. It's recommended to speak to your Tech Lead for more information on academic licensing. Lastly, it's important to note that the terms of use for the Preview version are the same as the terms presented when purchasing a Minecraft Education subscription.
