Minecraft Modding (ages 10-18)
Minecraft is a multi-player game about building and placing blocks in a three-dimensional environment. The game allows modifications (known as “mods”) that can change the game from what it was originally written. These mods can add content to the game to alter gameplay. For example, new blocks, mobs, and abilities of player can be added. Have you always wondered what it takes to write these mods? This brand new workshop is for you! In this workshop we’ll teach the kids on how to build Minecraft mods using Forge 1.7.10. Parents can observe from back of the room and are required to stay through out the duration of workshop.
