Safely allow experimental features on Minecraft Education.
- Currently: In the 'general' settings of Minecraft Education there is an option to disable the 'only allow trusted skins' setting. This allows a user the freedom to use imported custom skins.
- Suggestion: Introduce a similar feature in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center that allows providers to enable experimental features, granting users greater freedom to enjoy a wider range of add-ons, texture packs, etc.
- This can be done on an individual account/license basis to ensure control and intentionality at the discretion of the provider of Minecraft Education.
- Make explicitly clear to the 365 Admin that enabling experimental features risks both stability issues for the platform and the potential for their users to be exposed to inappropriate, unmoderated, child-unsuitable content.
- Ask that the 365 Admin agree to terms that outline this risk and encourage that they have a safeguarding policy in place to mitigate/prevent this risk. Communicate that enabling this feature is their choice and that the responsibility is with them to safeguard their users.

Great idea, I broke Minecraft Education while trying to get experimental features so adding it would be nice. Please help me. Minecraft Education won't work now because all the buttons are gone (including the settings one) now I can't use Minecraft Education. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that was to no avail. I can't find any examples of this. Help..
