Educator Tools 1.1 is live!
At Shapescape, we believe empowering teachers with the right tools is key to unlocking the full potential of Minecraft Education in the classroom. That’s why we’re excited to announce the release of Educator Tools 1.1, a free and open-source toolkit designed to help educators manage their Minecraft lessons with ease. This update builds on the foundation of our initial release and introduces several highly requested features, alongside quality-of-life improvements and visual upgrades that make the toolkit even more intuitive to use.
What’s New in v1.1.0?
Copy Inventory Across Players
Tired of manually giving items to every student? Now you don’t have to. The new Inventory Copy feature allows teachers to instantly share their inventory with all players in the world and allows teachers to copy the inventory of specific players to their own as well.
Manage Student Health with Ease
A new Health and Hunger Management puts full control of player health in your hands. Whether you want to restore health or set hunger settings you can now do it all through a simple and intuitive interface.
Improved Letter Block Generation
Our popular letter blocks just got an upgrade! We added over one hundred new blocks to support writing in many more languages. You can now also generate letter blocks yourself with custom backgrounds.
Whether you're labeling areas, creating signs, or displaying information for students, your in-game communication just got a lot more flexible.
A Fresh Look and Smoother Experience
We’ve also modernized the user interface with new icons, improved translation handling, and reorganized internal assets to make the tool more maintainable and future-proof. Under the hood, letter generation logic has been refactored and optimized, ensuring faster performance and better scalability.
Built by Educators, for Educators
Educator Tools is developed by our team at Shapescape, based on real-world feedback from teachers using Minecraft Education every day. Our goal is to make game-based learning easier to manage—so you can focus on what matters most: teaching and engaging students.
And the best part? It’s completely free and open-source.
