Advanced Game Development with Minecraft (Block-Based Coding)

Lesson 1: Fishing Adventure on a Boat!
Learn about decision-making statements (IF-ELSE IF) and logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) while creating an interactive fishing adventure project.

Lesson 2: Shoot the Target
Explore Shape blocks in Minecraft and practice using logical expressions and conditional statements to hit specific targets.

Lesson 3: Agent's Crazy Dance and Agent Fireworks
Get introduced to iterative statements with the Repeat block, applying it to create a dancing agent and a fireworks display.

Lesson 4: Building a Bridge
Understand jump statements, including the break block, and apply this concept to code the agent to build a bridge.

Lesson 5: The Oceanic Dive
Learn about sequencing and the continue jump statement, practicing these concepts in a Minecraft underwater adventure.

Lesson 6: Lava Run
Delve into For loops, using them to navigate and overcome a lava-themed obstacle course in Minecraft.

Lesson 7: The Tree Hunt
Explore While loops and learn how to implement them by coding the agent to search for specific trees in the Minecraft world.

Lesson 8: The Agent Farming Adventure
Apply different iterative statements based on decision outcomes, programming the agent to manage a farm autonomously.

Lesson 9: CropMate: The Virtual Harvesting Assistant
Practice using nested loops to automate tasks, optimize code, and create an efficient virtual assistant for farming.

Lesson 10: The Dance Floor
Learn about functions, including definitions, parameters, and return blocks, and apply these to create a custom dance floor in Minecraft.

Lesson 11: Animal Shelter Home
Discover the Builder functions like move, turn, and place mark, coding the agent to create a shelter home for animals.

Lesson 12: Nature Park Tour
Get introduced to arrays, learning to define and store values while building a nature park for animals in Minecraft.

Lesson 13: Hoop Loop Jump
Apply physics concepts and critical thinking to design an obstacle course, incorporating array push operations and circle blocks.

Lesson 14: Word War
Learn about string handling with functions like length and index find, creating a vocabulary battle game in Minecraft.

Lesson 15: Exploring Pathways
Learn to use IF THEN and IF ELSE THEN conditionals in coding and Minecraft. Collaborate to create a creative project that applies these decision-making skills.

Upon completing this course, students will be able to design complex Minecraft worlds and games using code, understand event handling, and navigate Minecraft’s coordinate system. They will also be proficient in using decision-making statements, loops, functions, arrays, variables, commands, and conditionals to create interactive and automated tasks.

• Advanced Logic and Conditionals: Master decision-making in games using nested and multi-conditional logic statements.
• Loop and Iteration Control: Understand For and While loops and apply them to automate actions in Minecraft.
• Functions and Problem Decomposition: Use functions to structure code, enabling efficient and organized game development.
• Data Structures (Arrays): Learn to store and manipulate data in arrays, enhancing game complexity and organization.
• String Handling: Develop language skills by handling strings with functions, ideal for creating educational and creative games.
