Supply List
If the student wants to join the world and play together they will need: 
- Minecraft BEDROCK edition - which is available on PC, Xbox, Playstation, Mobile, Nintendo Switch, and more!
- Signed into your Microsoft account (so we can add each other as friends)

If the student wants to join to work on their world and talk about Minecraft with others but NOT play on the server, the above is not required.

Note: Bedrock version does not work on Mac.
