Blocks with friends: How to run your own Minecraft server Minecraft, Yourcraft, Ourcraft—building is more fun with your buddies.

How to play with friends on Minecraft: Java Servers are the basic building block of Minecraft's multiplayer mode. Anyone playing together will need to be on the same server.

Minecraft: Education Edition can now teach kids how to code with the new Code Builder tool and the 'Agent', an in-game robot. Mojang will add Command Blocks in Education Edition later this year.
