Dexi Ville is a Minecraft Education "wordcraft" map created in partnership with the Swedish Prince Couples' Foundation, Prinsparets Stiftelse.^[1] The map is designed to teach reading skills to children, including words, letters, and sentences. It can also be played through the Marketplace.

Summary

The map opens with the player spawning in Dexi Ville, before Dexi the Hedgehog. Before talking to her, she will give you two language options: English or Swedish. After selecting a language, Dexi will welcome you into her village, introducing herself as the "story keeper" of the town. As she puts it, her job is to "guide every visitor to fulfill their story," in the player's case they are tasked with filling in a "never ending book." In order to fill the book, the player must win various minigames, gradually unlocking four different locations that can be warped to on command. Alternatively, the player can manually walk to every location, guided by a directory beside Dexi. As a third option, the directory itself can also teleport the player by hitting any of the locations.

Read And Feed

The first location the player can visit is a vacant barn, full of stripped oak pillars, coarse dirt, and hay bales. In front of the player after warping is a rabbit named Hopper, who asks for your help to feed various animals. Around Hopper are four white concrete spots where animals such as cows, chickens, frogs and pandas will appear, stationary. Above Hopper is the name of a specific animal that needs to be fed. The player will have a "food bag" item, the goal being to feed the correct animal by using the item on them.

Ponder The Letter

The second location the player can visit is a large river with noticeable moss and mossy cobblestone. Sitting on a spruce log is a bear named Björn, who loves fishing by the river and "the silence of nature." Excitedly, Björn mentions various objects "hidden in the river," and asks for the player to help him fish. In practice, this is not a fishing minigame, but instead a matching game. Various objects will appear on lily pads, with a letter block appearing above them. The player will be instructed to match the letter with the object; for example, blueberries are needed when a B block appears, while an apple is the solution to an A block. In order to select the item, the player can use or hit them from a distance.

What a day! But what day..?

The third location the player can visit is an outdoor theater in a taiga, with acacia stair chairs and flowers resembling oxeye daisies scattered around. On the stage the player will find Luna the wolf, who will ask for help ordering activities for her diary pages. This minigame will be simple, Luna will tell a story with many key objects pivotal to certain times of the day. After listening to the story, the player will have to place the correct items in a certain order. For example, Luna will wake up in the morning and decide to stay in her house, before collecting blueberries during the day, and planting flowers during the evening. This will clue the player to place a house item, blueberry item, and flower item in item frames.

Mind The Mine

The final location the player can visit is a mine, located inside a large birch building, identifiable by several lanterns and copper blocks outside. Descending down a dirtied, old flight of stairs, the player will find a large copper mine, with the player finding an owl named Barak, who claims to work in the mine all day and night. Using their "strong beak," they can mine ores with ease, but appreciate some assistance. This minigame will involve mining various "letter minerals" using a diamond pickaxe, and have to use them to spell the name of an object above a hole. For example, a car, a pencil, or a banana.

Library

Although not a minigame, the player can also warp to a library, where they will find the Never Ending Book. It will be displayed on a lectern between two ochre froglights, and will gradually grow in size the more the player plays or replays minigames.
