How to update Classroom Mode for Minecraft on your Mac
Classroom Mode for Minecraft is published as the Homebrew cask classroom-mode-for-minecraft. Below is how to run that update yourself, then how Floodtide does it for you, alongside every other app on the Mac. Homebrew describes Classroom Mode for Minecraft as "Classroom management app for Minecraft Education Edition".
Update Classroom Mode for Minecraft by hand
- Upgrade the Homebrew cask. If you installed Classroom Mode for Minecraft with Homebrew, open Terminal and run
brew upgrade --cask classroom-mode-for-minecraft. Homebrew downloads the current build, checks it against the checksum it publishes and replaces the app in your Applications folder. - Or download it from education.minecraft.net. Otherwise get the current build from education.minecraft.net, which is the same download Homebrew points at. Quit Classroom Mode for Minecraft, open the download and put the new Classroom Mode for Minecraft in Applications in place of the old one: a disk image is dragged across, an installer package runs its own steps. Your settings and documents live outside the app and are kept.
brew upgrade --cask classroom-mode-for-minecraftThat is one app. The same walk, through a different menu or page each time, is what every other app on the Mac asks of you, which is where Floodtide comes in.
The shorter route: one click in Floodtide
Floodtide reads the same Homebrew record for Classroom Mode for Minecraft that the brew command above does, without needing Homebrew installed, to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version it will move to and the download size. Pressing Update, or Update All, does the rest:
- The vendor's own build is downloaded, several apps at a time, with real progress.
- The download is verified against the checksum the catalogue publishes.
- Classroom Mode for Minecraft is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.
- The bundle is swapped and the old version kept for seven days, so Undo Last Update always works.
- The replacement's code signature is checked; a build signed worse than the one you had is rolled back automatically.
Every download of Classroom Mode for Minecraft is checked against the checksum Homebrew publishes before anything is replaced.
If Classroom Mode for Minecraft lives in a folder macOS protects, the swap asks for your administrator password once for the whole batch, exactly as the Finder does when you install anything by hand.
