MINECRAFT: Introduction to Java Programming
We are pleased to announce this new course: Learning to Program with Minecraft.
After becoming familiar with installing and playing with the many varied modifications produced by the Minecraft community, the most common question we receive from students is how to make their own custom mods.
This is a practical course in how to program in Java to create your own plugins and modifications to Minecraft. Jump in and out of game to see how the changes we make beneath the hood effect gameplay.
All students are welcome, however a familiarity with some programming would be a strong advantage. Students are also expected to have a sufficient knowledge of manipulating Minecraft with mods and modpacks and a thirst to take things to the next level.
The programming language we use is Java: one of the industry's most in-demand and the language on which Minecraft is built.
The goal is for students to discover that coding can be creative, rewarding and most of all, fun.Class Details
