Minecraft Edu
The time has come to update our game beyond the historic confines of Minecraft 1.6.4. This will need to be done both on your in-class computer as well as your computers at home. I am available all the time for help via email or text.
The whole reason for this update is the incompatibility between Java 8 and the older Minecraft Edu versions. As of April of this year, Oracle (Java people) are discontinuing updates and maintenance of Java 7, and have urged all users to make the transition as soon as possible. So here we are!
The first thing you will need to do is update (or install if you don't already have it) java. This is accomplished by navigating to the Java Download Page. Clicking the big red "install button will update or install java after a couple of additional installation clicks. MAKE SURE that you are installing version
Minecraft Edu has a built-in update page that is accesible right from the app. When you first open the game, "Updates" is the bottom tab. Clicking this will bring up another window that contains all the update information.
You will want to select 1.7.10 build 13 (development, download required) on the top pull-down menu. After entering the credentials of the class (provided by Jody, Kai, Bill, or myself), you will begin the installation process for the update.
Once installed, run Minecraft Edu normally. The game should be functioning perfectly. However, you will have to connect to the servers by typing in the adress instead of it being saved in the game.
Below is a video tutorial outlining the update process for both java and Minecraft Edu. This should help with all the above info. Good luck! Email ro text me for additional help.
