‘Minecraft‘ has just launched a really ambitious update as an educational update about racial segregation and various justice & rights movements. The “Good Trouble” DLC has just gone live on the ‘Minecraft‘ Market to download, for free. However, the playerbase is not so happy with the game becoming ‘political’.
‘Minecraft‘ usually releases such DLCs that teaches kids & students about many different topics, on many different subjects. From STEM subjects to Arts & History, ‘Minecraft‘ DLCs have a lot of educational content. But this DLC is getting quite the hate from the game’s playerbase.
‘Minecraft’ Is Under Fire For Good Trouble DLC
‘The Good Trouble DLC features many famous activists and popular Human Rights moments. The game hoped for kids to get immersive knowledge regarding famous human rights movements throughout our history. From Gandhi’s non-aggression movements for India’s freedom to Nelson Mandela’s fight against Apartheid.
However, the playerbase is not really happy with this update, and the DLC is getting called out for its political viewpoint. Players are accusing ‘Minecraft‘ of encouraging violence. This update comes at the time of Black History Month and amidst the anti-ICE protests in the US.
