Minecraft Education Chase the Clouds Update: Confirmed Features

Minecraft Education released the Chase the Clouds Update (version 1.21.91) on July 22, 2025, followed by a subsequent patch to version 1.21.93.1. The update introduces features from three recent Minecraft Bedrock updates up to version 1.21.90, alongside improvements to OneDrive cloud storage, multiplayer, and Code Builder.

New Bedrock Features

The update adds Bundles, the Pale Garden biome, Happy Ghasts, and a reorganized Creative Inventory. Bundles are stackable item pouches that help manage inventory space. The Pale Garden biome, originally introduced in The Garden Awakens update, features pale oak trees and a distinct atmosphere. Happy Ghasts are a friendly variant of the classic Ghast mob. The Creative Inventory reorganization streamlines block and item navigation.

OneDrive Cloud Storage Improvements

Students and teachers can now back up worlds directly to OneDrive cloud storage. This feature addresses the risk of losing project work due to device crashes or replacements, providing a reliable backup method for classroom environments.

Multiplayer Enhancements

The update includes multiplayer improvements for classroom sessions and cross-platform connectivity.

Code Builder Updates

Code Builder, the in-game coding interface for Python and MakeCode, receives updates in this release and remains the primary coding platform within Minecraft Education.

Version History

The initial release (1.21.91) was followed by version 1.21.93.1, indicating a quick patch cycle. This pattern is consistent with previous Minecraft Education updates.

Availability

The Chase the Clouds Update is available through standard Minecraft Education distribution channels. IT administrators should test the update before deploying it for the fall semester.
