Hi, not sure if I can suggest notice of bugs in comments here or not but....
There are a LOT of bugs/problems that are involved with the snow biome. I'm just going to list them to make it easier for everyone here:
1. Mob pathfinding breaks when snow reaches about 1 block height and up. This is a really annoying bug. If a mob walks into the snow and reaches an area of snow that has reached 1 block height, it turns in circles when it attempts to move from being attacked or trying to lure it (food/crops). I assume the pathfinding glitch is related to the block in front of the direction its moving since, if the mob is stuck and the block in front is broken, it is able to walk normally.
2. Snow particles de-render. I have struggled to figure out the direct cause of this. It seems random, but it most definitely interacted with player movement. Basically, you are able to see snow particles, but if you walk around, the snow fall randomly disappears from your view. Usually you will still be able to see snow particles either glitching in "the distance" or glitching in and out of view around you, unless you walk out of a the "glitched" location you walked into. Not sure if there are specific location in biomes that do this, but it definitely occurs from position/elevation changes, whether it's random, I don't know.
3. P L E A S E . ADJUST. SNOWBALL. DROPS. It is very hard to explain my frustration with this in a family friendly language but the amount of snowballs created from a 10x10 area of snow will absolutely destroy any spare space you had in your inventory. Here's a scenario: You've been in a snow biome for a while, snow has builded up quite high, and you want to clear it up. Solution: water bucket. Placing that water bucket in an area of snow is a death sentence for you inventory, because the amount of snowballs dropped when the snow is destroyed is EXCESSIVE. You have to walk around to avoid the snowballs and constantly drop out the ones that sucked into your inventory. And stacking up to only 16 doesn't help. All you can do is avoid the snowballs and wait until they despawn, which is quite annoying.
4. Water physics gets awkward, especially with snow and edges. The new water physics added has been... annoying in a way. Water just doesn't make sense at all anymore. Just look at the screenshot.
Hopefully this gets seen and acknowledged. If screenshots are needed I can try to take some of the scenarios that I explained, if needed.
I have an issue where when I mining or breaking a block, the game will freeze for a couple seconds and everything but the sky will become black. please tell me how to fix.
Now...I downloaded M:EE and it went pretty good, but the problem is that every time I double click it, it says "Minecraft: Education Edition has stopped working".
I don't know if that problem is caused by me using Windows 7, but I hope I get some help.
P.S: I downloaded M:EE for my brother and it worked, but he has a windows 7 too so I don't know how that works.
Please help me with this problem! I really want to play Multiplayer with him!
I had an issue when I open MCE in MacOS Catalina which is normal in older version.
Why Minecraft and code connection are not open source?
Having the community helping you can be very valuable and since Microsoft turns a lot of projects open source, I dont see why not this one.
Thanks anyway and I'm waiting for the fix for Windows 10 and Code connection.
For the people with the problem with Code connection and windows 10 edition, if you have 2 computers and run Minecraft on one and code connection on the other, it works.
For me also work command: /connect localhost:<port_number> instead of /connect <ip_address>:<port_number>.
Hi, I am a student who uses Minecraft Education for school, and every time I play Minecraft Education, it freezes for a few seconds and then the whole terrain turns black, including the sky, every time this happens I have to delete that window and open another one. I need this to stop happening so it will easier for me to do tasks and assignments. Please create a solution!

I have this problem sometimes too. I think it happens when the computer is very old or out of date and can't support the newer versions of Minecraft Education Edition.
It would be nice if they gave the option to download older versions of Minecraft Education. I made the stupid mistake of updating Minecraft on some of the older laptops, and now it doesn't work at all and I have no way of putting the older versions in.
Still unable to connect in multiplayer. Versions are the same. Students can host and join each others maps, but I can't join or host from school as a teacher. Shows student name and map info when joining but then I get the "Unable to connect to world" error. Then it Then the "Generating world" and Loading Resources, then "Saving World" Done!, and back to the main screen.
Suggestions?
Jeremiah, We are having similar problems, except we are having issues with Mac computers hosting over the internet. If we host with a Windows computer everyone in our group can connect. If we host with a Macintosh computer, Mac's can connect but not the Windows computers. Within the same home (tested both on the same network and with one on VPN) a Windows computer can connect to a Mac without any issues, but across the internet it seems a Mac can't host to a Windows computer. Anyone have any ideas?
