Game players love creating and customizing their character skins – their appearance. This guide shows you how you can customize your appearance in Minecraft: Education Edition.

If you want to do this on your iPad see the guide HERE

If you want to make a skin with Slim features use the form HERE

Minecraft Education Edition requires you to create a MCPACK file which contains all the files required for your custom Minecraft skin. Use a Minecraft Skin creator like Skindex or Tynker to create a PNG image file. Then use the online forms on the links above to create the MCPACK file required by Minecraft. Without this form you will need to create a handful of pages using JSON – which for most Minecraft users in schools is a bit too hard.

Minecraft Education Edition won’t let you install custom skins – but there are a coiuple of ways for you to do that yourself.

Are you bored with the default skins that come with Minecraft Education Edition?

Now you can follow this link and you can create a custom skin

But you can also click the link below to download a pack of casual skins which you can import into Minecraft Education Edition.

Download the MCPACK file, then double-click it to open in Minecraft Education Edition. If you have multiple versions of Minecraft installed on your device it would be easier to first open Minecraft Education Edition, then choose to Import the MCPACK file you downloaded.

Are you using Minecraft’s Compound Creator?

There are a bunch of YouTube videos showing how to create a lightsaber in Minecraft: Education Edition, but I’ve found them too hard to follow and figured you would as well.

What we will go through is using Minecraft: Education Edition’s Compound Creator to craft a glow stick – which will have you looking like a genuine Jedi Knight (or Sith Lord!) with a lightsaber.

Start by opening your Inventory (press the E key) and search for each of the following elements and add them to your Inventory by dragging and dropping them to a free square.

• • Carbon
  • Dye
  • Nitrogen
  • Hydrogen

Add to your Inventory the Compound Creator block. Search for this then drag this to an empty box in your inventory.

Place (right click) the Compound Creator block in your game and use the elements in your inventory to create the following three compounds by placing the required elements on the Compound Creator (drag then right click to add the required number of elements):

Polyethylene, Hydrogen Peroxide, Luminol

1. 1. Polyethylene – place 10 Carbon and 20 Hydrogen. Drag the Polyethylene to your Inventory
   2. Hydrogen Peroxide – 2 Hydrogen and 2 Oxygen. Drag the Hydrogen Peroxide to your Inventory
   3. Luminol – 7 Hydrogen, 8 Carbon, 3 Nitrogen, 2 Oxygen. Drag the Luminol to your Inventory

The recipe for a Lightsaber in Minecraft is:

• Polyethylene on the 3 Left and 3 Right columns
• Dye in the middle square
• Luminol in the Bottom middle square
• Hydrogen Peroxide in the top middle square
