When I teach people to learn to code in Minecraft, I basically recommend using Minecraft Education Edition. This combines the Bedrock edition with the original editor called Makecode. They run as two separate apps within the application and are connected via Websockets. Websockets are supported in both the Bedrock and Education Editions, but the editor is only included in the Education.Java Edition does not support Websockets and requires the use of a mod or server. By the way, TutoriaLLM hacks this mechanism of Minecrafft to create code in the browser and run it in Minecraft Bedrock without installation on a small VM thread created on the server. Currently only some of the functionality is available as it is still under development, but in the future it will offer the same functionality as Minecraft Education for free (at least until Microsoft finds it and block them...).

  I cannot use it - it requires a login from school or other institution.

    I found out that I can register myself as a company at Microsoft and then I can buy the license to that new account.

https://github.com/lrocher/CodeConnectFix https://github.com/lrocher/CodeConnectFix The repo above says it allows Code Connection for Minecraft to work with Microsoft Bedrock. This should allow Makecode to work. BUT... it assumes you can install 'Code Connection for Minecraft', and it seems that Microsoft has removed the download link for CodeConnection.msi

  I think this application is now no longer available as all functionality has been integrated into Minecraft Education.

    Hmm but I wonder whether people who already have it can continue using it? I don't mind the extra $12 per year for Minecraft Education Edition (although it seems unfair when we already paid for Bedrock when this functionality was included), but the sign up process is really convoluted, so much so that the support team made an 8 minute YouTube video walking people through it!
