The portfolio is a special item in Minecraft Education Edition that acts like a photo album. When you take photos with a camera, they automatically go into your portfolio so you can view them later.
What is a Portfolio?
A portfolio holds all the pictures you take while playing. It’s only available in Minecraft Education Edition through the creative menu or with a game command. You can’t craft one like you would with a normal crafting table or furnace.
Finding Portfolio in Creative Mode
Minecraft Education Edition Versions
The location of the portfolio in the creative inventory changes depending on your version:
| Edition | Version | Menu Location |
|---|---|---|
| Education Edition | 1.0 to 1.0.18 | Tools |
| Education Edition | 1.0.21 to 1.17.30 | Items |
Portfolio Item Details
Item ID and Data Value
Here’s the technical information you need to work with portfolios in commands:
| Item Name | Minecraft ID | Data Value | Stack Size | Versions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | minecraft:portfolio | 0 | 1 | 1.0 to 1.18.32 |
Note: The Data Value identifies what type of item it is. Stack Size of 1 means you can only have one portfolio at a time in your inventory (unlike blocks or tools that stack to 64).
Getting a Portfolio with Commands
If creative mode inventory doesn’t work for you, use the give command to get a portfolio. This works in Minecraft Education Edition 1.0 through 1.18.32:
/give @p portfolio 1 0
This command gives one portfolio to the nearest player with the data value 0.
What You Can Do With Portfolios
Once you have a portfolio, you can use it to:
- Take and store photos throughout your world
- Build a collection of your best Minecraft moments
- View all your photos in one place
- Share your creations with other players
The portfolio works alongside the camera item. Take a photo with the camera, and it automatically saves to your portfolio.
