Please read the top of the thread for our latest update on custom skins - we actively share our thoughts with developers and your voice matters! Thanks!Ītharv Dhiman thank you for your thoughts, we have added them here along with the thread on custom skins. Feel free to contact me directly at you want to discuss further. I am educating a diverse group of students to be the next generation of computer programmers and I'm hoping Minecraft can get on board. I want my students to be able to play Minecraft as any character they want and specifically one that looks like them. I'm wondering what message this sends to my students and other Minecraft players. Characters like the judge, lawyer, pilot, and scientist are only available in the lightest skin tone. There are a few non-white characters in most of the skin packs but a few, including 'Town Folk' and 'City Folk', are all white. Most of my students are Black and/or Latino and there is a very limited selection of characters who look like them. I want to give feedback about the character options (skins?). Hi there! I'm currently teaching Minecraft Education Edition as an after school club and my students love it. Why are you interested in this feature, and what is the impact on your current teaching situation?Įmma Wingreen I am adding your great feedback here with the ongoing conversation so our team can see it! We'd love to hear your constructive thoughts below. Our development team is actively researching more skins to include. This is in an effort to keep the education environment safe for all. Take a look at this video from one of our amazing mentors to learn more about using resource packs with Minecraft: Education Edition: However, it is possible to create custom resource packs for the game to change many aspects of the game. All worlds that have been approved for use with Minecraft: Education Edition can be found on our lessons page and in the Library in-game. Response: Minecraft: Education Edition is currently not compatible with mods. There's a lot of pride and love that goes with an update like this. This would be a big announcement and any technical or artistic hurdles are worth the time and effort. Wheelchair character skins, amputee skins (possible robotic limbs) and I'm sure with Microsoft's awesome history in this area more inclusionary skins can be identified.

Request: 2018 is the year that Minecraft Education provides skins that help make Minecraft represent everyone.
