    Update 10/26/2022

    We have released a hotfix (version 1.18.42) focused on multiplayer improvements. This hotfix brings improved proxy support for our multiplayer services/URLs and improved in-game multiplayer stability. 

    Hotfix Notes
    How to update

    If you continue to experience multiplayer issues after updating to the hotfix, please reach out to our support team as we're generally able to get to the bottom of these cases through troubleshooting: https://aka.ms/MEE_New_Request

    The most common cause of multiplayer issues we're seeing is schools not allowing the new URLs, schools having ephemeral ports blocked, or specific firewall features interacting poorly with our new multiplayer system (such as app decryption). We've also seen some cases where schools can't add the new URL due to inability to add wildcard domains (the * in the URL). If this is the case, the IT Admin guide has our subdomains you can add instead. 

    I'd also like to thank you all for your patience while we've investigated. While some issues may remain, our support team remains ready to help troubleshoot.

    Lastly, I know many of you would like more frequent updates on the forum, and we hear you. We're currently discussing ways we can be more transparent and improve our update frequency. Thank you for your feedback.


    Update 9/13/2022

    For all users whom are experiencing multiplayer issues post 1.18 where it is an entire class, school, or specific OS that cannot join multiplayer, have your IT Admin reach out to us. Generally, this is caused by one of the following issues:

    1. The IT Admin has not allow listed our newest URL through any firewall / content filter / proxy that may block it. 
    2. Their proxy's auto detect is not working with our new URL - We're actively investigating this to see if we can resolve this from our side but would love pcaps from affected devices.
    3. Some IT Admins may need to allow list our TURN services or unblock the use of ephemeral ports. Learn more in the Port section on this article: FAQ: IT Admin Guide – Minecraft: Education Edition Support

    We're happy to look into this and discuss this with your IT Admin through our support desk: https://aka.ms/MEE_New_Request  

    We apologize for any class interruption these changes may have brought, hopefully we can get you all back to crafting together soon. Thank you everyone!

    Old Update 8/12/22 1:40PM PST - Known issues:

    • Forum posting is currently down. Posting in existing threads works still. We are investigating this currently.
    • Multiplayer connections are not working as of 11:13AM PST this morning. We're actively investigating. 

    Thank you for your patience while we look into this. For users who had multiplayer connectivity issues before today, this is likely caused by the new URLs not being allow listed by your IT Admin:

    Hi there Penny, the changes look great but it is my understanding is that this update will prevent multiplayer from working in our environment due to our network setup. Ticket #86661

    Hi there, I am trying to run a class with one of my students and I am not able to. I am hosting the world on a PC and my student is using an ipad. We both just updated to the latest version. When he tries to connect to my world he gets a message that says that the connection timed out. Do you know if there are any issues with the iPad connecting to a PC host? This has always worked in the past .

    We can't connect via IP addresses any more? Like Ian, our multiplayer has stopped working. Using the connection info will be difficult for little kids.

    How do we get the game to update?  There are 4 computers updated but three that are not.

    Ian Ackerley Look at the connection Info at the bottom of the pause screen (where is used to normally show the IP address and port)  That long connection info number seems to be working for us even though we Used to use IP address and port with port forwarding for our off site students.

    My grandchildren will argue over using my phone in the car for the rest of my life!!! =]

    This is awesome!

    I am on a Pixel 2XL Android version 11 (yes I dream of a new phone soon!)

    Here is what my experience was like:

    Download, no problem! Easy, no space issues, easy login. World opened right up. I cannot fly down, only drop.

    In chat, I cannot use the slash from the LHS, I have to type it in. I had no trouble running the chat commands to build the aquarium in the coding world. I had an initial error when I tried to use the armor in the three dot menu, but it only happened once. (message in chat: <error> Something went wrong! <errcode 1>)

    I was able to open the Python AZNB editor. The Agent example code would run. It seemed to me that the editor was incompatible with text input from the **razzum frazzum** text input keyboad on my phone. You know, there's a talk to text mic, and arrows to switch to for digits and special chars... well my summon command looked like garbage. (I have screenies if you like.) I tried resetting, repeatedly. There was no entering text after that.

    I restarted MC:EE. Still busted. I persisted, and the little sidebar appeared, allowing me to select between resizing the window, resetting the code, etc. in a different way. That was the ticket. Now I could enter text again. Timeout error. Bleh. Try, try again. Finally, my first working Python AZNB code in MC:EE on my phone!!!!!

    And in other, unbelievable news, the "This account does not own the skin resource pack" warning is on my phone!

    I teach digital tech in a lab of 27 ethernet connected PCs and our experience with the update so far is that on most computers (win 11) it is extremely slow (laggy) and almost unusable. In task manager I see it using over 90% of CPU even after exiting a world. On a select few it works as expected and the CPU usage is much lower (around 30%).

    I’m having trouble signing in. I know my username and password, and I have Microsoft Authenticator on my iPhone. So, I put in user and password. Then the Authenticator asked for my face to unlock and approve the sign in request. I do that. And then switch back to MinecraftEdu, but it doesn’t remember where I left off in the sign-in process and I have to start again.
    Undaunted, I do so. This time I try the text message for the 2fa and after I put that in it tells me something went wrong.
    So, I headed over here to report my findings.

    This is very frustrating for us as we have been using the connect via ip method for our schools.

    Is there any explanation on how connect by id works? Does it internally use the ip address?
    Any documentation for this new feature?

    And is there an explanation on why ip connection was removed?

    Thanks.

    Zoha Aleem Baig Updates on a mac are manual. You have to back up your worlds, and download.

    Today I logged onto Minecraft Education Edition and realized that it was updated to 1.18. This was very exciting until I tried to join my brother on our Hermitcraft series. So I clicked the join world tab and went into the place where you could stick in the IP address. I had memorized this IP address and could type it in very quickly. Except it said information code, I thought this number would be similar to an IP address, but when my brother pulled up the multiplayer option on the pause screen, I was surprised to see that it was a very long number. So I thought to myself “would I really type in a number that long?” No. So I took a picture, and copied the number, and stuck it into the right place. What I thought would take seconds took almost 2 minutes, or at least it felt like it. And then it showed me to a screen that said “connection timed out” I tried this multiple times all with the same result. And then I tried googling what this means and all I got was it trying to tell me that something was blocking access to the multiplayer game. The only problem was I had absolutely no idea how to get rid of some sort of the firewall. I thought for a while until my brother suggested that I use the join code. After that point I thought I was brain dead and didn’t think hard enough so I also tried the join code. 2 minutes later same result and that’s exactly how I got here. I’d advise the devs to add the IP address back in and fix the multiplayer problem. Anyways…yeah.

    Multiplay on Version 1.18.32 is not broken.  It works when hotspotting devices to a mobile phone.  It must be an internet access issue though our school internet filter.
