And the Education Edition version even comes \u201caccompanied by lesson plans for teachers to educate and inspire students about the importance of our frozen worlds and allow them to explore the effects of climate change as part of classroom curriculum\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To get access to the Frozen Planet II worlds in Minecraft, all you need to do is click \u2018get this item\u2019 on the <a href=\"\/\/www.minecraft.net\/en-us\/marketplace\/pdp?id=cb129ecf-d554-408b-aa4c-f9d759038491&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">official product page on the Minecraft Marketplace website<\/a>. You\u2019ll be doing your finest Sir David Attenborough impression in no time.<\/p> <p>Describing the content available, the official announcement declares: \u201cFor the first time ever, Minecraft players will be given the chance to play from the perspective of an animal including the penguin, bumblebee and polar bear, letting players experience the frozen worlds from their view, such as a killer whale using a wave washing technique to brush the seals off an ice floe and into the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The description continues: \u201cPlayers can even try their hand at being a natural history film-making researcher on location where they are tasked to document key animal behaviour and information to inform environmental research.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This certainly sounds like an admirable undertaking from the BBC and Mojang, and it\u2019s nice to see gaming being used as an education tool on such important issues. And if you were wondering, the other four Minecraft Frozen Plant II worlds will be released over the next four weeks.
