Modding Minecraft

Modding Minecraft

Sarah Guthals

Book - 2015

Modding allows players to customize Minecraft through code. The projects in this book teach your player how to modify the game by using code blocks to create mini games. The projects use LearntoMod (provided as a 60-day trial download with the book), a platform designed specifically to teach young students how to modify Minecraft. Projects include: Create a Spleef Game - get started with a single-player, single-level game, build a Monster Arena - moves readers on to multi-level game playing, capture That Flag - finishes with a multi-level, multi-player game based on the classic capture the flag' game.
