I'm a homeschooler so I didn't really have high hopes for the game. I logged in successfully using a virtual school email I had, and was able to create a world. I could move around, and destroy blocks. But when it came time to place a block, I pulled up the inventory, and there was the list in the search bar, but it wouldn't let me load the other individual tabs, and I couldn't put a block in my tool bar. Also, I had to double click everything which was annoying.

Exactly the experience I needed! I wanted for so long for my school to add my favorite games into the curriculum, and they did! Now I zoom to my computer just to hop on the school server first and honestly it's great. Having different blocks in the game too is awesome, I just recently downloaded some texture packs and it was a great experience. But with the new blocks, I was able to make so many mini games. I even posted it on the internet. And now, I have like $24.61¢ worth of minecoin, thanks!

this app keeps me calm evey day and I love playing you should play It because there's a lot of things you can Build. You can kill animals to eat. You can go in survival mode, you can go into creative mode, it's really fun and if you keep going, you're going to find new stuff that you could build, and you can belt underground, you can build up like on the ground, but I'd rather build underground, because it's more easier for me, because then there's more space O k bye.
