Minecraft Partners With BBC Earth to Create Frozen Planet 2 Worlds
The Education Edition of Minecraft will be getting a series of worlds inspired by BBC Earth’s Frozen Planet 2 program, with the first becoming available on September 21. Released in 2016, Minecraft: Education Edition has a number of features that are geared toward a classroom setting and teaching students in an engaging, interactive way. Players have even expressed a desire for some of these fun extras, such as sparklers and balloons, to make the move to vanilla Minecraft.

Each new world will have corresponding interactive lesson plans for incorporation into a classroom and will be available in 29 languages.
The new content for the game was created using 80 custom Minecraft blocks and will allow players to view the world from the perspective of a range of different creatures. In addition to five frozen worlds to explore, the collaboration with Frozen Planet 2 will bring eight new animals to Minecraft: leopard, bumblebee, walrus, penguin, eagle, polar bear, chameleon, and orca.
