Thursday, 8:00 PM
Want to get your kids interested in programming? Maybe you’re a kid at heart too? Come to this session and learn how to use ScriptCraft for Minecraft modding!
In this session, I’ll discuss Minecraft modding with ScriptCraft. We’ll start with an overview of Minecraft and ScriptCraft. We’ll see how we install the necessary software to get our modding environment ready. Then we’ll interact with Minecraft by writing code commands directly from within Minecraft! Finally, we’ll build some cool mods and invoke them from Minecraft. If you’re interested in getting your kids into Minecraft, come to this session to get a primer on everything you need to get them interested and hacking their own code.
