Trapped in Trappist is a map in Minecraft Education set on three planets outside of Earth's solar system.

The player spawns in a room. There is a window that has a view of the solar system. The room has a chest with potatoes, coal, a camera, and a journal (book and quill). Inside the journal there are prompts for pros and cons about living in each planet. There is a blue beam at the back of the room. There are two sliding doors; one activated and leading to the shuttle hallway, while the other deactivated and leading to a bedroom. The player spawns with the Levitation effect but it can be disabled by pulling a lever at the top of the room. In the shuttle hallway, there are three working shuttles next to each other, and a disabled one at the very end of the hallway. Each shuttle is in front of a beacon, where a red beacon means signals are unstable and a lime beacon means signals are stable. There are black signs indicating the color code and the name of the planet. The disabled shuttle's beacon is a grey beacon, and the black signs around it have obfuscated text. Each shuttle has armor stands wearing the suitable gear, and a blue hologram named J.E.A.N. informing the player what to do. Pulling the lever will take the player to the planet. However, after pulling the lever, J.E.A.N. will glitch and speak in a way that cannot be understood.

A planet flooded with water, filled with kelp, and covered with gravel at the bottom. The player will have to place a wire block (red concrete) on the missing gap of the wire, in which the original wire has rotted. It is the only planet in Trapped in Trappist where the player cannot build a base. The player will have to wear a water-breathing suit or they will eventually drown.

A planet covered with powder snow. The player is required to remove packed ice from the signal. They will have to wear an ice-proof suit or they will freeze to death because of all the powder snow.

A planet with mostly red sand. The player will have to fix the fried wire shields. There are iron deposits all around Nostromo so repairs will be easy. First, the player will have to collect raw iron. Then, the player will have to smelt the iron to break the fried iron shields and replace them with new iron blocks. Wearing a heat-protective suit is mandatory; otherwise the player will burn to death.

• It is not possible to obtain glass on this map because the player is restricted to a blast furnace, which cannot smelt the red sand on Nostromo, and regular furnaces cannot be crafted because no stone is available.
• There are also coal deposits on Nostromo, allowing for backup if the coal blocks that come with the blast furnace are lost.
• Nostromo is technically inside the Nether.
• The map name could be a reference to the TRAPPIST-1 star system, famous for being a primary candidate to harbor habitable worlds outside of Earth's solar system.
• The planet Nostromo could be a reference to the starship USCSS Nostromo from the 1979 sci-fi horror movie Alien, which is itself named after Joseph Conrad’s 1904 novel Nostromo.
• The blue holographic AI assistant J.E.A.N. resembles Cortana from Halo.
