Mobs and Gameplay
Bees and Foxes
Bee
Bees, Bee Nests, Beehives, Honey, and related blocks added a pollination and harvesting cycle. Foxes and other recent gameplay additions expanded the animal roster available in Education worlds.
Brown Mooshrooms and Suspicious Stew supplied further interactions from the shared feature set, giving educators more material for experiments and themed builds.
Classroom Tools
Sharing Activities
Library integration with Microsoft Teams and Google Classroom helped educators share activities through familiar classroom services. The update connected content discovery with the platforms used to organize a class.
NPC Skins
Five Bee-themed NPC skins added characters for lessons, demonstrations, and in-world instructions. Their artwork complements the new Bee content without being ordinary Survival mobs.
