⛏️ Minecraft Socials 2023-2024 ⛏️
End of the Year Wrap-Up, Going Forward & Upcoming Socials!
Thank you for joining us this past year for our Minecraft Socials! It was incredible to see all of the creative collaborative projects that were built! ✨
We are thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter for our Minecraft Social community. As part of our ongoing commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive environment, we are transitioning our Minecraft Social into a non-profit organization, “MOSS”. This change is rooted in our desire to expand our reach and provide a welcoming space for children to make friends, regardless of their affiliation with our business.
Our decision to become a non-profit stems from a deep understanding of the importance of social connections for children. We recognize that friendship and social interaction are vital components of a child’s development, and not every child has access to such opportunities within their immediate environment. By becoming a non-profit, we aim to break down barriers and open our virtual doors to all children, offering them a safe and engaging platform where they can connect, collaborate, and build lasting friendships.
In this new structure, our primary focus will be on inclusivity and community building. We will continue to host a variety of engaging events and activities within the Minecraft world, designed to encourage teamwork, creativity, and mutual support among participants. Our non-profit status will enable us to seek donations and grants, which will be reinvested into the community to enhance our offerings and ensure that every child has the opportunity to participate, regardless of their financial background.
We believe that transforming into a non-profit will significantly enhance the impact of our Minecraft social community. It will allow us to reach a wider audience and ensure that more children can benefit from the friendships and positive experiences that our platform facilitates. We are excited about this new direction and look forward to building a larger, more inclusive community where every child can find a friend and a place to belong.

✨ World Save Download + How to Install ✨
Since we have wrapped up this Medieval and Star Wars inspired theme park build, we want to make sure that our students have access to their very own copy of the project! This way, they can upload a single player copy of the world to their world saves so they can continue building and exploring, even when our Minecraft Social server is offline!
Minecraft World Save: Click Here to Download
As this will be their personal copy of the world, participants are welcome to change and add to the world however they like. If your child builds anything that they would like to show us, feel free to send us pictures at contact@metaschool.cool. We would love to see what they continue to create during the summer!
How to Install:
Just a reminder that this world save is for Minecraft’s Bedrock Edition (version 1.21+). However, it is not compatible with the console versions of the game (e.g. Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, etc.).
Tablets: When you click the link above to download the world, it should provide you with a prompt to open the file. This will import it into your single player world saves (“Worlds” tab).
Computers: Once the world file has been downloaded, double-click on the file. This should open up Minecraft’s Bedrock Edition and automatically import the world save to your “Worlds” tab. Alternatively, if the game is already open, next to the “Create New” button in the “Worlds” tab, you can click the arrow to the right to import the file manually.
When is the next Minecraft Social?
Our Minecraft Socials will resume in September! As mentioned above, our Minecraft Social will have a new home with our non-profit “MOSS”. Other than a new website and contact email (contact@mosssociety.ca), our participants can expect the same fun Creative builds and social experiences!
We can’t wait to start these new build adventures with you all in the fall!
Have an awesome summer everyone! 🌴
Minecraft Social Sponsors
Although it is free to register, our Minecraft Social Saturday morning gatherings cost money to organize, run, and maintain. If you would like to help us sponsor the Minecraft Social, we would love and greatly appreciate the support!
Some of the things we use these funds for include: running the school’s private Minecraft servers and Minecraft Realms, activity planning, and Minecraft Social staff.
