NPCs

Potions

Minecraft and Minecraft Education include a variety of different POTIONS you can either BREW (make) or GIVE to yourself or other players via commands. Here are 15 different "MAGICAL" potions you can try, which are highlighted in the video below, "Make Every Potion." (10 min)

Parkour

Challenge: Explore our Hogwarts world and find a route that works as a parkour path. Then extend it or improve it by building 5 new jumps!

Optional: Open / explore the Parkour Grid world to practice your Parkour skills first! (source)

The "Microsoft Learn Parkour Map Creation Guide" is excellent but more advanced.

Concluding Activity: SPLEEF 2.1!
