Description

Not your ordinary coding book, this book is full of coding techniques that can be applied to the Minecraft® game. Learn basic code while having fun with a game you may already love—kids and adults alike! Included are instructions on how to download the necessary apps to use this book, as well as a video which shows how to set the program up if needed. The beginning starts with simple action codes for your “turtle," and ends with ingenious projects that will do the hard work for you. For example, the projects include a stone brick making factory, walls that build themselves, and even self-harvesting crops! The codes and techniques used in this book may be complicated and overwhelming for young users, and setup may require adult help and supervision. This book is not endorsed or authorized by Mojang. Note: general knowledge and experience of the original Minecraft® game is required to effectively use this book. This book is provided for learning coding techniques with the Minecraft game, yet, it DOES NOT instruct readers on how to play the original Minecraft® game. ~ Brianna

Publisher's Description of Coding with Minecraft

A hands-on introduction to coding that teaches you how to program bots to do cool things in the game you love–Minecraft! This book takes the robotic "turtle" method, and extends it to the 3D, interactive world of Minecraft.

You've mined for diamonds, crafted dozens of tools, and built all sorts of structures–but what if you could program robots to do all of that for you in a fraction of the time?

In Coding with Minecraft®, you'll create a virtual robot army with Lua, a programming language used by professional game developers. Step-by-step coding projects will show you how to write programs that automatically dig mines, collect materials, craft items, and build anything that you can imagine. Along the way, you'll explore key computer science concepts like data types, functions, variables, and more.

Learn how to:

  • Program robots that make smart decisions with flow control
  • Reuse code so that your robots can farm any crop you want, including wheat, sugar cane, and even cacti!
  • Program a factory that generates infinite building supplies
  • Design an algorithm for creating walls and buildings of any size
  • Code yourself a pickaxe-swinging robotic lumberjack!
  • Create a robot that digs mine shafts with stairs so you can explore safely
  • Bonus activities in each chapter will help you take your coding skills to the next level. By the end of the book, you'll understand how powerful coding can be and have plenty of robots at your beck and call.
