This tab will remain visible for teachers who join a hosted world, giving teachers easy access to classroom management controls that support student gameplay. 

By overwhelming request, the invisibility potion effect has been added to the list of destructive items! This means you can now prevent invisible exploits by disabling “Allow Destructive Items” in Classroom Settings.
