Students become Minecraft hackers by coding new behaviors and modifications while also building their computer science knowledge and skills. Using DiamondFire, a visual-based coding API for Minecraft, students will be able to manipulate and extend Minecraft’s functionality and build previously unimaginable 3D worlds.
Course projects are built within Minecraft through the application of computer science concepts including events, conditional statements, loops, variables, and functions. From spawning animals to building teleporters to creating live multiplayer games like capture-the-flag, students will create projects driven by their interests and imagination. Unique to Minecraft and this course is students’ ability to join virtual worlds together and play games live.
