Game Development with Minecraft (Block-Based Coding)

Lesson 1: Snowman in the Snow Land!
Learn the basics of the Minecraft interface, game controls, code builder, commands, and inventory control by building a Snowman using blocks from Minecraft's inventory.

Lesson 2: The Scary Escape!
Create an adventurous escape game while learning Minecraft navigation, player commands, events blocks, and the concept of event handlers.

Lesson 3: Let us Teleport!
Explore the coding concept of coordinates, understanding relative vs. world positions, and develop games using coordinate-based movement.

Lesson 4: Striders Adventure
Discover variables in programming, from declaration to updates, and apply world and player coordinate systems using Minecraft MakeCode.

Lesson 5: Redstone Circuits
Gain an overview of coding the Minecraft Agent to move, turn, teleport, place, destroy, and collect blocks, using these commands to create a Redstone circuit.

Lesson 6: Exploring Pathways
Learn decision-making statements with IF-THEN and IF-ELSE conditions, collaborating to create a unique Minecraft project that incorporates conditionals.

Upon completing this course, students will be able to create structured Minecraft worlds and games using code, understand event handling, and navigate Minecraft’s coordinate system. They’ll also be skilled in using variables, commands, and conditionals for game development.

• Game Navigation and Controls: Master game controls, commands, and player navigation within Minecraft.
• Coordinate Systems: Understand and apply world and relative coordinates for in-game positioning and teleportation.
• Event Handling: Learn to control actions and events in games, making gameplay interactive.
• Variables and Logic: Use variables and logic statements to manage in-game dynamics and decision-making.
• Agent and Redstone Circuits: Code the Minecraft Agent and develop Redstone circuits to bring automation and creativity into the game.
