1.7.0 is a major update to Education Edition that was released on November 2018. It notably includes Phase 2 of Update Aquatic and improved in-game coding.[1][2] It is also known as the Code Builder Update.[3]
Additions
- Agent Improvements (based on community feedback)
/remove- Remove agents from the world
- Players will be able to show the agent coordinates on the HUD
/summon agentnow creates or teleports the executor’s agent to the executor.- New command selectors
@cto target the executor’s agent,@vto target all agents- Only players with the permission
worldbuilderscan target all agents. By default all users will havewordbuilderpermissions set to false.
- The usual type filters can also be used to target particular agents, so
/tp @e[type=Agent,name=Steve.Agent] @sfor instance would look through all entities for those of type agent whose name is Steve.Agent and teleport them to the executor. For more of a shorthand you could do/tp @v[name=Steve.Agent] @sto target a particular person's agent that's not your own - Added spawn eggs for agents
- Library Beta
- Allows players to view and download worlds in-game without having to go to our website. Players will see a new button on their home screen called "Library" which leads to a list of dynamically generated "must have" worlds
- On-screen Control Guide
- Allows new players to learn the fundamentals of movement, breaking/placing, and more. These will be on by default for teachers and off by default for students and can be configured in the settings menu
- These controls will update depending on how the player uses the game and can be turned off in the settings menu manually.
- Education Content in “How to Play”
- Education content added to the “How to Play” menu
- Educator Resources
- A button on the home screen (which will show for teachers only) that takes users to a new resource on our website designed to connect them with the latest and greatest training, lessons and community content
Changes
- Coding
- Code Builder can now be used in the game rather than via a separate app. Players will be able to launch code builder using C if you are using a mouse/keyboard or by pressing the agent icon next to pause/chat on the top center of the screen while on touch.
- Code.org and Scratch will not be present at launch in-game, TBD on when they will be there. The Code Connection app can be still used to use these applications
- Removed
/code
Issues
- Agent detect up/down does not work correctly with half blocks
- All players will enter the world with world builder settings set to false. This is by design.
- Exporting portfolio, clicking links on NPCs (and any change of focus to the game) will disconnect users connected to that session multiplayer **iPad-only**
- No Music in iPad version
- Only supported on Windows 10 1607 (RS1) and above. Windows 10 1511 (TH2) and below is not supported.
- The prior version (1.4.0) is still usable on Windows 10 1511 (TH2). Note that multiplayer sessions will not work for players on different versions of Education Edition
