Minecraft Mod Development: Mega-Tools & Mobs
Get ready to power up your Minecraft world! In this exciting camp, students will create their very own super-tools, design fun or fearsome custom mobs, and invent tasty new foods to keep their characters energized. Using MCreator for Minecraft: Java Edition, students will learn the basics of coding logic while building and testing their mods. Each day combines step-by-step projects with creative time to explore new ideas. Bring your imagination, teamwork, and a USB drive. Students should be comfortable using a computer.
