Proudly flying the Minecraft Education colours on our family outing at Caerlaverock Castle for a day of jousting and medieval themed activities! Another great opportunity to pick up plenty of Minecrafting ideas and pictures to inspire future projects!

Hurray, the "allow trusted skins" toggle is back in Minecraft Education v1.21.90.1!

Having this option back in the game allows students to showcase their talents, and create skins that represent themselves and ideas!

Thank-you Minecraft Education for listening to our feedback!

Sporting my Minecraft Education cap (I wear it EVERYWHERE), on our family outing to Vinolanda Roman Fort.
Another great day for gathering ideas, structure layouts and textures for future Minecraft projects!

It's been weeks in the making, but I'm finally putting the finishing touches on a build from my Creative Active Lives CIC Sunday Minecraft Education Club.

HMS Argus (1918), Britain's first aircraft carrier, with some Sopwith Pup's for flare!

This month, (by popular demand) we'll explore the essentials of getting started making your own custom items, blocks & entities in Blockbench!

I'll be at BETT in London! Drop by and see me at the Minecraft booth... I'll be volunteering and sharing my passion for #MinecraftEducation!

I've been busy with a few more Holiday themed assets for my #MinecraftEducation Holiday Activity world... I've added some festive garland above the fireplace, and there's three present blocks under the tree... when you break them you get Christmas cookies and chocolate coins!

Last minute addition to my #Minecraft Holiday Activity world.

Reindeer and dogsled are cool, but I wanted to add another ridable entity with some flourishes, so behold, a Penny Farthing for some old-school flare!

Some of the texture and model improvements I made to my ridable, raceable, reindeer this year for my #MinecraftEducation Holiday world.

I have a special #MinecraftEducation Holiday world I like to add to every year. This year, I've added a racecourse, where students can race reindeer or dogsleds!

I've also retextured my reindeer, and added a few other new blocks and assets.

Apparently I'm in the top 0.1% of Beatles listeners on Spotify.

Only??

I wonder what all the listening hours on LP, Tape and CD would boost me to?

I love the vanilla #Minecraft animals, but sometimes they don't quite fit for certain experiences where a wee bit more detail and authenticity is needed.

Another #blockstagepass, here is my blocky interpretation of a Snowshoe hare, featured in the #PimachiowinAki Minecraft experience.

Another #blockstagepass image, this time of my ridable dogsled from the #MinecraftEducation #PimachiowinAki experience.

Re-used the vanilla wolf model, but re-textured to make it more like a Husky dog. Behavior was tricky (shoutout to my friend Nico for the help), but this one was a lot of fun!

Post a gaming picture that gives you video game anxiety...

This is my entry, although the KQ3 mountain path was a close second.

Sierra adventures such as #SpaceQuest continue to be some of my all time favourite video games and also a beacon of inspiration on my journey as a #Minecraft content developer.

Thank you Sierra for your continued inspiration! Here's my interpretation of Roger Wilco... in Minecraft form!

A little late, but here's a Halloween themed #Minecraft NPC I created using @blockbench.bsky.social.

I've dialed it up a bit and used texture animation to give her some expressions.

Can anyone guess the inspiration for this character?

Pimachiowin Aki was an amazing project to work on; let's look behind the scenes!

Here we have a traditional wigwam and drying rack... both are #Minecraft entities developed in @blockbench.bsky.social. I avoided any regular angles to try to capture a structure made out of natural materials.

Pimachiowin Aki, an immersive LOGICS Academy & Minecraft Education experience exploring the community and culture of the Bloodvein River First Nation is now available directly from the Minecraft Education Library!

It was a pleasure and honour to contribute to this amazing project!
