Then how is minecraft used in schools?

If Blockland was used in education, everyone will get the wrong idea of "Physics."

As a code testing tool like tritnik said it would be good. It would have better motivation than for plain coding since the stuff you make would be immediately usable for entertainment

IIRC Notch was able to edit Minecraft's code live and the effects would occur without having to reopen minecraft or anything. So Minecraft would probably be better for immediate changes.

And Blockland has no educational value IMO

No.

3D modellers would be used for this since that is a valuable thing to learn for the industry. Why the hell would you use a kiddy lego game as a serious or budding architect? You wouldn't.

I dunno about architecture, but if you ever take a secondary school design course (furniture and basic spatial design) you'll quickly learn why something like Blockland would be inappropriate.

Events may be good for increasing logical thinking and perhaps a kiddies introduction to understanding programming, but ultimately, its entirely useless outside of Blockland.

There is absolutely no room for Blockland in education.
