Minecraft:Cyber Defender

Template:ExclusiveTemplate:CleanupTemplate:More imagesTemplate:StubTemplate:Infobox world Cyber Defender is an educational game on Minecraft:Minecraft Education. It takes the form of a tower defense game with heavy influence from the theme of cyberattacks and protection from them, with most gameplay elements being symbolic of cybersecurity systems.<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/en-us/lessons/cyber-defender</ref>

Summary

Template:Expand section This is similar to a tower defense game. Foxes and Minecraft:horses will pay the player at the marketplace while enemies will eat berries in the berry farm. Each enemy is designed after a different type of digital attack. To prevent enemies from eating the berry farm the player will have to place towers and gates. Friendly animals must also go through defenses; as such, too many defenses will also hurt friendly entities. If enemies reach the farm, the player will have to manually fight the enemies. Two maps exist: easier Forest, and harder Mesa.<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/en-us/blog/cyber-defender</ref>
