Please note:

If your child is not using a Windows laptop, their experience may be limited. Blockbench will still work on a Mac or iPad for creating 3D models, but they won’t be able to join the Minecraft sessions or import their models into the game, as these features are only fully supported on Windows devices.

Unfortunately, we don’t have loan or spare laptops available, so please ensure your child brings a Windows laptop if they’d like to participate in the full Minecraft integration.
