If schools remain closed, Japanese people simply use Minecraft. Because you can also celebrate the graduation in an unusual way.
The issue surrounding the Corona Virus has now affected the whole world. This often means that schools remain closed or lockdowns have been imposed. This is particularly annoying for Japanese children who would be celebrating their graduation. But instead of letting it fall completely through, they make use of technical aids – they simply celebrate their graduation in Minecraft.
What happened? In Japan, graduation ceremonies at schools often take place around this time. There is usually a large gathering of all students and teachers, reflecting on one’s achievements and cheerfully looking to the future. For many, it is also a farewell, as with the transition to further schools or universities, some friendships may be left behind.
The Corona Virus, however, ensures that many of these events are canceled. But as SoraNews24 reports, many students take the issue calmly and simply celebrate in another place – namely in Minecraft. There are several tweets, videos, and pictures of students celebrating their graduation in the digital world and thus not being completely deprived of this experience.
Why is Minecraft so suitable for this? The game world of Minecraft is fundamentally the perfect place to recreate any offline activities in the digital world. This is partly because Minecraft has little violence and is therefore suitable for all age groups. Moreover, it is incredibly helpful that in the Minecraft world, almost any conceivable location can be recreated.
The biggest “infection risk” in Minecraft is likely to be an explosive Creeper.
If the children are not allowed to attend a gathering at their actual school due to a virus, they simply experience it in a digital hall of their school.
