Minecraft PE Server

Currently testing a server at https://server.pro ( € 5 / month )

Running a PMMP (PocketMine Multi Player) server is nice to get handheld-gamers all around the world playing with more then 5 together in a single Minecraft world and even letting them come back while you are not online (as would be needed with the in-game LAN server connection). It is nice to see a new dev community around the Pocket Edition Server, allmost as fun as the the original Java dev community, but PMMP is not really an official Realm software, as Microsoft would use for there own servers I guess, and there are major problems to fix after the many updates on the local installed Minecraft Pocket Editions, not to keep up for developers outside of the Mojang/Microsoft dev scene.

Minecraft Education

A month ago Genboy started teaching Minecraft the game (PE mostly) in primary schools.  This post will be updated with my latest important and/or pleasant findings. You may skip the story and check out some game info.

 

Teaching MC
Preferred to setup the MC worlds on a school-owned tablets, I started teaching 10 to 14 children in-game with up to 5 MPs in each world on WIFI LAN, either Creative or Survival, jumping from one world to the other to see what they where up to. Off course, I had a drill in Survival mode and took lots of work home the first few lessons 🙂 Now fully equipped with background stories and facts I’m able to teach lot’s of practical important social and technical matters in-game like:

  • – communication and social behavior
  • – sharing and trading
  • – creativity flow and craftsmanship
  • – math and physics
  • – geography and history
