Bring my students to our minecraft Faculty of Law
Dear Madam, Sir,
I am a current Professor at the University of Ottawa (Canada).
Because of the Covid-19 and as a personal challenge, with a colleague (Alexandre Lillo), we decided to re-create our faculty in the game Minecraft. We decided to use the Java edition. After trying the Education version, we thought it was too limited.
The Faculty is almost done in the game. The result is incredible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpu5bZNEa8U). We want to share the result with our students (around 1000 students). Some of them might have Minecraft but definitely not all of them. We are considering buying licenses for them.
- Would it be possible to get a discount if we buy many licenses at the same time?
- Would it be possible to transfer our world created with the Java in the education edition? All of our students have access to Microsoft 365 (as students at the University of Ottawa).
We have designed the Faculty in the game as a promotional tool. We want the students to be able to visit their faculty even if they cannot be on campus. We are also thinking of making it a social tool (so that the students can meet in the game) and a pedagogical tool (by creating role-play games and activity online – we teach lawyers, so we think we can create some nice role-play in the game).
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards.

Hello Thomas Burelli
Thanks for posting, looks like a really amazing world! Java worlds are not compatible with the education edition. We also do not offer any discounts due to legal policy.
Sorry I don't have better answers!
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hi Thomas Burelli - one last thought. Although we don't offer bulk licensing discounts we can put you in touch with the team that can setup bulk purchase of Java licenses. Open a support request if this is an option you would like to pursue (link at the top right of the page).

Hello, are you thinking of implementing servers or multiplayer worlds where you can play without the presence of the world operator?
