Minecraft can be an immensely powerful learning tool, but it has to be carefully curated and controlled by a teacher- having played a lot of modded MC, most kids just do the bare minimum, or follow some tutorial online to get what they want. Of course, some branch out and do amazing things, which is what you want. Schools will fail to understand this (and fail to understand mods) so when the whole thing falls apart it will get ignored and cast off as &quot;not workable&quot; when in reality all that was needed was a teacher that understood.<p>Unfortunately, (especially in public schools) the teachers that end up teaching these are coaches that find out what they&#x27;re teaching the month before school starts.
