摘要
Minecraft is an extremely popular computer game and educational tool. It provides various place-based facilities, with schools, towns and islands recreated, and geology and archaeology made available to explore in-game. In this 'Spotlight On horizontal ellipsis ' article we offer a synopsis of some of the existing resources created using this package. We also look at how Minecraft is used to engage with real-world places and features.
