Minecraft Coding Classes (Java Only)
PDL Coding Class with Minecraft: Level 1
In this class, students will learn the basics of programming within Minecraft!
Students will learn PDL Code, a language created by our company to work seamlessly with Minecraft and introduce the basics of coding. Using core elements from other popular languages such as Java or C++, PDL Code has its own console where students program outside of Minecraft to make things happen on our very own secure server. They can affect the game world or make their character move just by using code.
Students are expected to understand the basics of using a computer, including switching between windows and using a mouse. It is also intended for intermediate Minecraft players; they should at least know the basic controls and concepts. However, no programming knowledge is required! This course will introduce the basics completely from scratch, such as variables, loops, and conditionals.
Class Duration: 90 minutes (5 Sessions)

Students are expected to understand the basics of using a computer, including switching between windows and using a mouse. It is also intended for intermediate Minecraft players; they should at least know the basic controls and concepts. However, the only programming knowledge required is that from level 1! We will go more in-depth in this level, including randomness, vectors, and more complicated loops and variables. Each topic has special challenges where the student can create their own programs, such as making a diamond finder.

Unlike Level 1 and Level 2, this class is project-based, allowing students to show off their creativity and problem-solving skills! Each week has a different topic, so students can take the level multiple times. One week we might create a program that builds a house from scratch. Another we might create a text-based adventure game, or give ourselves superpowers! The possibilities are endless and each student has the opportunity to take their own approach with support from our teachers.
