I have played Minecraft games a couple of times, and learned the basics of computer coding just as I was having fun! The game involves guiding Steve or Alex in an adventure through Minecraft world using blocks. It is usually played in stages like all computer games, as you are introduced to coding terms like and, if command, as well as iterations, among others.
Many schools have adapted Minecraft in their classrooms, to teach various lessons in subjects like History, Math, and even Language.
If you are looking for online content based on Minecraft, your best place to look would more than likely be YouTube, because there are millions of videos uploaded specifically on Minecraft.
Learning To Code
If you would like to learn the basics of coding, then your best teacher is Minecraft! Minecraft has teamed up with the Hour of Code campaign to inspire everyone from ages 6 to 106 (yes, even that old!) to learn coding. Rather than tell coding beginners to just make something, Minecraft and the Hour of Code gives you the proper tools and education to kick-start your enthusiasm for learning to code.
What Minecraft’s Hour of Code manages to achieve is that it makes something otherwise technical, look extremely fun and entertaining, instead of just giving you a blank canvas with binary numbers! Minecraft coding sessions give players the feeling that they are doing something. Should a player notice that he/she has messed up, they are allowed to fix it by going back and looking at what they did wrong. Rather than frustrating the player to the point of never wanting to try coding again, Minecraft and the Hour of Code tutorial inspires the player to keep trying until it works.
And that is the beauty! Play it once, and you will definitely love it!!
