Education Edition, the version of Minecraft used for education, got a new mode the other day. Developed in partnership with the UK Environment Agency, the mod aims to teach the real-life impact of climate change.
The Education Edition version of Minecraft, prepared by Microsoft for young students and aiming to be an education platform, has gained a new mode that attracts attention today. In collaboration with the UK Environment Agency and Microsoft The new mode added aims to show students the effects of climate change on the world.
rivercraft The new mode, released under the name, does not directly target all the effects of climate change. The mod is instead being built in Preston, England. £54.7 million focuses on flood defense plan. This plan adds structures such as flood walls, glass panels and embankments designed to reduce the risk of flooding to approximately 5,000 homes.
There are three different games in the mod:
The mode, which will make students more conscious, explains this plan with three different games. In the ‘Manage Upgrade’ mode, players create their own version of Preston’s flood defenses before flooding the area to gauge their success. ‘Flood Prevention’ lets players explore how individuals can help mitigate climate change. In ‘Our Local Environment’ mode, the aim is to conduct an in-game ecological research to find and record local wildlife species.
Flooding is a major problem for the city of Preston and the county of Lancashire, as concretely demonstrated in 2015 and 2020. The flood disaster, which previously affected 2,500 houses and caused £1.3bn in damage, had prompted action for new measures to be taken in England. One of these measures was to raise awareness of young people from an early age.
