news feed < BACK Dairycraft Lesson 5: From Pastures to Processors CrackedCubes Team 15 Oct 2025 How innovation and technology are reshaping the modern dairy farm! Technology is transforming the modern dairy farm, and students get a front-row seat. In Lesson 5, students explore how innovation supports every process on the farm, including milk production and animal well-being. From robotic milking machines to GPS ear tags, they discover how smart systems make farming more efficient, ethical and responsive. Featured: Dairycraft's rotary milking parlour The journey begins at the milking shed, where NPC (non-playable characters) Lena introduces students to rotary, parallel and robotic milking parlours. After learning about each system and completing a short quiz, it’s time to act: students help pump milk into storage tanks and deliver unpasteurized milk to the processing facility, giving them a hands-on view of how the supply chain connects and the role of a milk truck driver. Featured: Dairycraft's different truck types From there, the learning goes deeper. Students examine wearable tech used on cows, from GPS trackers to smart collars and ear tags. They see how data helps farmers monitor herd health, movement and nutrition in real time. Featured: Dairycraft's in-game cow wearables information board Automated feeding systems come next, showing how technology keeps cows healthy, well-fed and stress-free. Each step of the lesson builds not just scientific understanding, but real-world systems thinking. Students learn how technology and animal care work hand in hand, reinforcing the idea that innovation isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about doing things better. To download Dairycraft, and to find out more about the world's specific features, please visit our store page here . Rewards along the way keep engagement high, including a virtual scoop of ice cream straight from the very processing plant students helped supply. In the optional extension task, two cows have wandered off, and students use GPS data to track them down and guide them safely home. It’s a moment that blends digital problem-solving with something very human: care and responsibility. Featured: Dairycraft's in-game cow-tracking map Lesson 5 brings together science, technology and ethical agriculture in a fresh and relevant way. Students begin to see how tech doesn’t replace care, but amplifies it, helping farmers work smarter and with greater insight. Wearables for cows? Absolutely. Not for counting steps, but for smarter farming - where real-time care, and herd health meet innovation, and we lead with both heart and brains. This lesson aligns directly with the Ontario Grade 8 Science and Technology curriculum, supporting key learning goals around technological systems, energy flow, efficiency, and real-world applications in agriculture.

news feed < BACK We sat down for a virtual Q&A with Mojang CrackedCubes Team 12 Jan 2023 A dream holiday destination with a secret End-ing! We sat down for a little chat with Sophie over at Mojang to discuss what sort of adventures you can get up to at our Holiday Resort, the 'dream destination' in Minecraft! If you want to read the full article Q&A, please head on over to Minecraft's news page, or click here . See below for some of the best excerpts. "Become a VIP and explore this enormous, tropical five-star map, complete with a marina, a golf course, luxury villas, ferris wheel, and more! In fact, there is so much to do, see and explore in this tropical paradise that I didn’t know where to start. That’s why I asked Cal from CrackedCubes for some tips!" My personal favourite is the seaplane race, or the drop tower! The drop tower was the most fun to create. It’s designed to give the player the thrill of going up and down in a drop tower (otherwise known as a big drop, or a gravity dropper). Of course, if you spend too much time on it you might find yourself hindered by a certain, unique effect… But the point of having so many interactive activities is that the player gets to choose what they think is the best thing to enjoy in the map! "After all those adrenaline-pumping activities, I think we deserve a break. This is a VIP Holiday Resort, after all! What do you recommend, Cal? " Well, you could could spend the night as a VIP, drive a golf cart to the main hotel for food, take a plunge in the waterpark rapids, grab some lunch, beat your friends at a few holes of mini-golf, and then play against NPCs in the bumper cart track! The experiences are very varied, depending on what the player wants to do at any particular moment. Plus, this world does still facilitate the existing and very treasured Minecraft experience... so if you want to use the golf cart to drive across the End, then you can so long as you take it with you through the portal!

news feed < BACK Dairycraft is now available for free CrackedCubes Team 2 Sept 2025 Bringing farming, science, and sustainability to life in Minecraft Education! We’re excited to share the launch of our new flagship education project, Dairycraft – now available for free on Minecraft Marketplace and Minecraft Education! Built in association with Dairy Farmers of Ontario, Dairycraft invites players to step into the world of dairy farming through an engaging, hands-on adventure. From learning how milk is produced to exploring the daily life of a farmer, this interactive experience combines fun gameplay with meaningful education. Today’s students don’t just want to learn – they want to experience. That’s where Dairycraft comes in. Designed for Minecraft Education, Dairycraft transforms the world of Ontario dairy farming into a dynamic, hands-on learning environment, giving students the chance to explore real farming methods, scientific concepts and sustainability challenges – all through the lens of immersive play. Education through gaming works because it meets students in their natural state: curious, active and ready to explore. Few platforms embody this spirit of curiosity and exploration as powerfully as Minecraft. Dairycraft captures the essence of what makes Minecraft one of the most popular games in the world – freedom, discovery, instant feedback – and goes a step further, wrapping it around curriculum-aligned lessons. Set in an open world with no fixed route, this is not passive learning. Students move through the landscape making choices about what comes next and connecting with concepts in a way that feels real, even in a virtual space. Rather than just memorizing facts, they’re encountering ideas in context, building understanding as they go. The result is education with traction: real-world relevance that helps ideas take hold. To download Dairycraft, and to find out more about the world's specific features, please visit our store page here . Dairycraft covers a wide range of subjects through six thoughtfully designed lessons: Nutrition and health Animal care and sustainable dairy farming States of matter and food science Renewable energy and environmental stewardship Automated milking and smart tech Crop farming and the food chain Each module is built to support the Ontario curriculum, with strong backing from the Ontario dairy industry. The result is a virtual world that’s as accurate as it is engaging – one that shows modern dairy farming as a blend of care, technology and environmental responsibility. Whether students are exploring a working farm, or learning how solar panels support milk production, every activity is grounded in real-world science and systems thinking. They come away not just with knowledge, but with a better grasp of how food, farming and sustainability interconnect. Dairycraft helps teachers bring complex topics to life. It sparks engagement, builds skills and keeps students thinking, questioning and enjoying the learning process. It’s not just play; it’s purposeful learning, rooted in the real world. And next time a student reaches for a glass of milk or an ice cream, they’ll understand the story behind it – the land, the animals, the people and the science that brought it there.

news feed < BACK Planet Pigeon lands in Minecraft Education CrackedCubes Team 2 Dec 2025 Flap, forage, and see pigeons as you’ve never seen them before! We’re thrilled to share that Planet Pigeon , our latest collaboration with Minecraft Education and PBS Nature, has officially taken flight on Minecraft Education. Inspired by PBS Nature’s documentary The Pigeon Hustle , this new adventure lets players step into the surprisingly dramatic world of one of the planet’s most familiar and misunderstood animals: the humble pigeon. Across cities, cliffs, rooftops, and coops, pigeons have lived alongside humans for thousands of years. Now, for the first time, players can experience their world up close: how they navigate bustling streets, raise their chicks, find food, avoid predators, and use their remarkable senses to map the world around them. To learn more about Planet Pigeon, including the documentary that inspired it, visit the PBS Nature announcement page here . In true CrackedCubes fashion, Planet Pigeon mixes real science with playful design. You’ll explore evolving environments, solve ecological challenges, and take part in a series of hands-on mini-games inspired by real pigeon behaviours. Learn how pigeons use landmarks to find home, test your reaction times against a hungry hawk, or race across the sky with one of the fastest birds on earth. Each activity blends learning with humour – and every mission reveals a small secret about the birds we think we know so well. The experience also includes a guided narrative from PBS Nature, bringing the documentary’s storytelling into Minecraft. Whether you’re discovering why pigeons bob their heads, how flocks communicate, or what makes a perfect nest, the world is packed with details drawn straight from expert naturalists and urban ecologists. The goal is simple: help players see pigeons not just as city birds, but as uniquely adapted, deeply intelligent survivors that have interacted with humans throughout history, from saving human lives in war time (yes, really), to stealing your sandwich in the park. Overview map of New Block City in Planet Pigeon, outlining the player-explorable areas. Planet Pigeon is available for players of all ages and abilities, with clear instructions, gentle pacing, and plenty of space for curiosity. Educators can use the experience to spark discussions about adaptation, urban ecosystems, animal behaviour, and conservation. For groups, it’s a chance to explore nature’s hidden stories together. And for solo adventurers… well, it’s an excellent excuse to flap around and cause a little controlled chaos. Watch the Launch Trailer: We’ve had a wonderful time bringing this project to life, and we’re grateful to our partners at PBS Nature and Minecraft Education for trusting us with such an unexpected and joyful corner of the natural world. To download Planet Pigeon, and to find out more about the world's specific features, please visit our store page here . Suit up, stretch your wings, and discover the science – and the silliness – behind one of Earth’s most iconic birds. Planet Pigeon is available now for free in Minecraft Education. Nature is an award-winning signature PBS series created by The WNET Group. PREVIOUS NEXT If you place a pumpkin on top of two snow blocks, you will spawn a Snow Golem (snowman).
