About This Course
Modding in Minecraft is one of the best ways for students to learn computer science, allowing students to use their imagination to turn ideas into reality and create things that are not otherwise part of the game. Students will use both block-based and language-based coding to modify player abilities, create custom tools and mobs, design texture packs, and more. By creating programs from start to finish students “hack” the game to put their own twist on it. Minecraft helps a little JavaScript go a long way; with a game engine already built, students get to see their code affect gameplay using the same language system that runs over 3 million programs and devices.
You'll learn to:
- Understand the role of JavaScript in creating Minecraft mods including the Minecraft API
- Learn key JavaScript concepts like variables, functions, and event listeners
- Learn how to create custom blocks, and entities including defining new textures and models, custom crafting recipes and unique behaviors to entities
- Advanced concepts include game concepts and user interfaces like adding new game rules, custom GUIs and logic menus
