The Code Builder Update, released as Education Edition 1.7, was a major update to Minecraft Education released around October 2018, that added features equating to Update Aquatic (Phase 2) for Bedrock Edition (1.5.0). It also includes improved in-game coding.^[1][2][3] This update also added phantoms and barriers.

This version also adds features from Bedrock Edition 1.5.0 and 1.6.0.

Agent Improvements (based on community feedback)

• /remove
  • Remove agents from the world
• Players will be able to show the agent coordinates on the HUD
• /summon agent now creates or teleports the executor’s agent to the executor.
• New command selectors
  • @c to target the executor’s agent, @v to target all agents
  • Only players with the permission worldbuilders can target all agents. By default all users will have worldbuilder permissions set to false.
• The usual type filters can also be used to target particular agents, so /tp @e[type=Agent,name=Steve.Agent] @s for instance would look through all entities for those of type agent whose name is Steve.Agent and teleport them to the executor. For more of a shorthand you could do /tp @v[name=Steve.Agent] @s to target a particular person's agent that's not your own
• Added spawn eggs for agents

Library Beta

• Allows players to view and download worlds in-game without having to go to our website. Players will see a new button on their home screen called "Library" which leads to a list of dynamically generated "must have" worlds

Heads-up-display

• Added mouse and keyboard control tips to the in-game HUD, to help players learn the how to move, break/place blocks, etc.
• On by default for teachers and off by default for students, and can be configured in the settings menu.

"How to Play" menu

• Added Education content to the "How to Play" menu.

Educator Resources

• A button on the home screen (which will show for teachers only) that takes users to a new resource on our website designed to connect them with the latest and greatest training, lessons and community content

Coding

• Code Builder can now be used in the game rather than via a separate app. Players will be able to launch code builder using if using a mouse/keyboard or by pressing the agent icon next to pause/chat on the top center of the screen while on touch.
• Code.org and ScratchX will not be present at launch in-game. The Code Connection app can still be used to use these applications.
