What’s funny about it? Granted I didn’t watch the video so …

I do remember seeing something like this before, it was an actual minecraft mod though that simulated ecosystem stuff so like everytime you cut a tree down, and cooked food/ burnt off stuff it affected the atmosphere

this is for schooleduction - and in the video are teachers and schoolkids who played it and talk about this ^^ when i was in school there was never anyway that you are allowed to play “games” in schooltime - or make an essay over this ^^ i dont want to know what a dev must do to get a school/teacher to play with there kids in schooltime xD

Some American colleges now count E-Sport as part of their Sport education and those that play will be treated like college athletes.

Oooh this is interesting, though it would make sense to put it into the “Other Games” category.

I think it’s an interesting coop gaming idea but I can’t see how this is educational besides teaching kids to be semi-treehuggers. XD

Actually it was about the “affect the atmosphere” bit. A Minecraft world is up to 2.5M times the surface area of Earth (or near enough), just for starters.

Or just having a general idea about actions and consequences? And it gives them a better understanding on how hard it can be sometimes actually to be environmental friendly.

I think these people are working with a much smaller biosphere where there actions actually can have a much more immediate impact.
