Experiments in Minecraft Education

Minecraft Education is a variant of Bedrock Edition with some different features and limitations. For security reasons it doesn't allow you to enable experimental features from the game.

Editing NBT ​

1. Extract the level.dat file from your .mcworld, .mctemplate or com.mojang world folder.
2. Open the file with an NBT editor (NBT Studio for example).
3. Select on the first node which is level.dat
4. Create a new compound tag called experiments
5. Select the new node and create a new byte with the name of the feature you need with a value of 1, which on 1.21.90 are:
   • data_driven_biomes
   • deferred_technical_preview
   • experimental_creator_cameras
   • gametest
   • jigsaw_structures
   • upcoming_creator_features
   • villager_trades_rebalance

Finally, save the file and put it back in the world package or directory.

Tips ​

Minecraft Education is usually one or two versions behind the classic Bedrock Edition, so you'll always know in advance which experimental features will be added to the stable gameplay and which will be modified or removed. Try to add only features that will persist over time if you want to use that world in your classroom.
