Mojang Studios released a free sustainability city map on Thursday that teaches players how to create a sustainable environment in the real world by exploring a virtual one. The focus is on educating students on how things like recycling plants and clean energy work, while being fun and interactive.

The map itself is free for anyone who already owns Minecraft, and there are pre-made lesson plans for teachers who want to take their classes on a virtual tour of a sprawling block city. Both the map and extra lesson plans are geared toward teaching students about several sustainability topics complete with the ability to explore a hydropower plant, a sustainable home, a forest, farm, and other locations.
