Adventures in Java Programming with Minecraft

This course provides students with the opportunity to create their very own Minecraft Mods using Java programming. Students will be creating custom server-side mods using Code Kingdoms, a Java coding framework designed specifically to teach beginners to code in Minecraft.

Students will have the opportunity to follow along with some great tutorials, build mods, deploy them to a server, and test them. Code Kingdoms allows students to interchangeably program with a block interface, or completely in pure Java, so the course can be fun and rewarding for all levels of coding experience!
