Beta Known issues:
Coding: On rare occasions, while coding in Code Builder, the code may run out of order or skip steps.
UNESCO Global Build Challenge: Unable to continue dialog with NPC near start and unable to leave the conversation.
We'd love to get your feedback about the release, from technical issues to any thoughts about our new features! Find out how to join the beta here!
Our betas normally last 4-6 weeks before we release to general availability. However, we are not able to provide an exact release date at this time.

Hats off to the EDU Team for an excellent job on this update! Truly a splendid addition to EDU. One slight issue however, the block solidity seems to be slightly off in the beta. Especially in creative, hitting your head on blocks while jumping seems to sometimes put your head inside the block. Other than that, there is the lag that is expected from a first day beta, and some minor bugs with piglins attacking you even with gold armor on in certain circumstances. Excellent job, EDU Team!
Edit: upon further notice, the issue isn't with creative flying, it is with moving very fast in general. Also, this issue that I found only seems to apply in bastion remnants, which is understandable, as they are a new structure. Congrats on the update!

Just downloaded the GOAT Beta and looks great! I copied my 'minecraftpe' folder FIRST -- before opening 1.17.30.2, but everything in my existing saved worlds worked just fine.

GoodSideAlien Studio's A license is required to access the beta just like it is required to access the current version of Minecraft: Education Edition. Installing the beta does not grant free access.

Diyorbek Tillyaev probably about a month to a month and a half in the future, that is the usual amount that it takes to work out kinks in the update.

In this new update, it seems that the second I create a join code, the entire world freezes, mobs stop moving, buttons and levers don't work, and you can't open your inventory. All of the teachers in our school are experiencing similar difficulties. Any ideas?
(This happens when a join code is created. Also, no one can join the world after a code is created, probably linked to the freezing issue.)

When is the actual version of Minecraft:EE Nether Update coming out? Not Beta cause me and friends don't want to use it. We only like to use proper updates. We were happy but partly disappointed that we could not have the actual update.

Raven Destefano could you give us more details about your login issue?
- What type of device are you using?
- What OS is your device running?
- What message do you see about login? A screenshot of the message would be very helpful.

Hey, don’t want to rush the Minecraft Education Edition, but I want to know when it the full release coming. The lausd downloader doesn’t allow a beta tester, and there are limited app (Test Flight isn’t there). So I would like to know when the full release is coming.

Everyone cannot get it yet, we need to be patient with them. The people who can get the beta should give them feedback to see what to fix.

There is not a button or way for picking up fish or axolotls in a bucket for ipad, and i have the beta fully updated to 1.17.30.3, so please fix this issue because it has been like that for years.

Jayden Tondro on pocket edition, you have to hold your finger over the axolotl so that the circle is on them. If they are in water, use an empty bucket and hold your finger on the axolotl. If they are on dry land, use a water bucket and do the same. For more information-

I would really love it if you could add toggles for the experimental features
1 -
since you have started GOAT Beta i thought i should say what i wish to add to the game
- Experimental gameplay as that is a feature in normal bedrock
- When you locate a structure instead of writing the whole coordinates you could just press a button to teleport their
- For Locating Structures it comes up with stuff like temple and that covers a wide variety of stuff so t should be more exact
- Have stuff like balloons and ice bombs in creative inventory as its really hard to get that stuff (if you want students to have to make it themselves you could ad like a switch in gameplay settings to turn it on and off)
- More unique stuff to education as it seems very similar to normal bedrock and their should be a uniqueness (maybe even a new mob that would be cool)
- join codes should get a change cos why not
- make a way to add skins / skin packs1 -

I noticed that the nether mobs do not attack you (piglins, piglin brutes, hoglin) even when provoked. (I was not wearing armor at the time). I was not wearing gold armor at the time.

For me personally, this is a great step to getting to the more recent updates. This jump has been needed for a while. 1.14 is fun and all but to get the most recent versions on this platform is amazing. We will all be cheering you guys on the entire way to the finish line. Thank you. 🐐

While playing together, we found a baby zombie. Once it ran into another mob, it would ride it and control it. This worked for skeletons, cows, spiders, all mobs we could find. Its not a game breaking bug, but it if ran into a wither that would be really hard to fight.

Will a form of continuous hosting be available to the public? If so, educators could create a world that at any point in time they could check on how their students are doing, and the students could be able to work on it at home while the teacher will not have to leave their device on.
