Microsoft has been incredibly clear on the vision for Education Edition. The game is rated (Everyone 10+) and is used in schools for children as young as 5. Adding guns would immediately get the software banned from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and thousands of school district firewalls.

For over a decade, Minecraft: Education Edition (M:EE) has been the gold standard for classroom engagement. Teachers love it for its redstone circuits (teaching logic gates), its villager trading (teaching economics), and its collaborative building (teaching teamwork).
