    I mean, it made a bunch of people think any old sand can make glass tbf. In reality only silica sand and a few other types can make glass.

    Yeah but for every feature that might teach something, there’s another feature that isn’t accurate at all.

    The Minecraft handbooks added plenty of less commonly used words to my vocabulary when I was 8-10 years old

    I learned a lot from the HBM nuclear tech mod. Lots a fun memories there :3

  5. One of my best memories is when my father asked me do you know what a baby tree is called and I answered sapling and the look of confusion on his face followed by how the hell do you know that and I answered from playing Minecraft I believe his opinion on video games definitely changed after that conversation

    honestly the biggest thing minecraft taught my is my 8 multiplication tables (and subsequently a lot of squared numbers)

  8. What’s been really impressive to me is how Redstone became a legitimate way to teach electrical engineering. I think the education version of minecraft has a TON of stuff that people don’t realize.

    try using different wood types for contrast, it can really make the details pop

  10. media in general does that, that’s why I think knowledge and art should be available to everyone.

    Plus mods made by the professionals like nuke reactor mods, forestry and their bees, etc.
