Hacking Minecraft
One of the most popular video games in history, Minecraft, opens a world of endless possibilities limited only by imagination. In this camp, students will go beyond regular gameplay to “hack” Minecraft by learning how to modify and enhance their worlds. They’ll use popular game mods, experiment with building challenges, and unlock hidden features that change the way the game is played. Students will also create and edit custom skins and textures, personalizing their worlds to match their style. Along the way, they’ll explore how commands, mods, and creative tools work together to expand Minecraft’s potential. This camp uses the PC/Java edition of Minecraft. Bring a USB on the last day to save your games. Minecraft is a Mojang Studios trademark and not affiliated with this camp.
*Exact age/grade availability depends on each district's listing.
