Hi! I teach workshops for Minecraft EDU Edition as part of my job. I also love playing with MakeCode in Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Windows 10.
Is there a way to make the Agent build faster? It would make teaching the advantage of automation much easier!

Same here. If you’re trying to have the agent build anything of reasonable size it takes a long time. It really slows down the development cycle. Did you find any solution to this?

Is there a command to disable screen updates? I think putting that at the start of your program, doing all your building/placement, and then re-enabling screen updates might speed things up.
