My 7-year-old is building arcade games. I'm building AI automation workflows. Neither of us knows how to "code." Last night, same table: Him: MakeCode Arcade (drag-and-drop blocks) Me: Claude Code + n8n (natural language prompts) Both of us: creating real, working products.

@wasa_bibibiPG @PlayCraftLearn Hello, and thank you for your feedback. We have just released a fix for dragging and dropping .mkcd files into the editor. Please test and let us know if this issue has been resolved for you. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your reply. I have personally verified and confirmed that the program runs when the GREEN play button is pressed. Since the program previously ran without pressing the GREEN play button, I thought it was a bug. I understand this is a specification change. Is the inability to load programs via drag-and-drop also a specification change? This is extremely inconvenient because I have to check numerous student programs every day. Also, while this might not be something to report to MakeCode, both instructors and students are confused because Minecraft Education made no announcement about these specification changes.

The MakeCode 2025 update for ⛏️Minecraft Education is out!!! Check out all the new features here: makecode.com/blog/minecraft… including the spawn🥚egg update!! @PlayCraftLearn
