Minecraft is one of the most useful games out there. Not only does there exist a version of the game that exists solely for education, but the base game itself has a lot of uses outside of just gaming. The game has been used to recreate all sorts of things and hold things in virtual settings.
A South Korean university took advantage of that and held a virtual entrance ceremony for its new students. It’s unclear if this was a result of COVID-19 or just for fun, but the game can be useful for virtual events in that scenario.
Minecraft is home to student entrance ceremony for South Korean school
The post was shared by u/bedesloman on Reddit. The university, which translates to Yeungnam University in English, shared the video on YouTube as well. They called it the “Yeungnam University Metaverse Entrance Ceremony.”
The ceremony had all sorts of events. What began in some sort of auditorium and felt very school-like gave way to a couple of more fun things. Players threw projectiles at a bell, played games on a platform, and explored the area.

<p>The area that they were in looks like it’s an in-game copy of the university with buildings, walkways, and more present. Players could get a feel for the lay of the land without having to visit the university, which is pretty useful.</p><div class=)
