Join fun online Minecraft programming classes

Turn your child's love of playing Minecraft into real-world coding skills with this fun online Minecraft programming class full of exciting challenges and projects. Students will learn how to make a Minecraft mod, and how to program games, stories, buildings, and anything else they want to make happen, and see it come alive in the Minecraft game.

Coding in this live online class is done through a drag-and-drop interface similar to Scratch. But we teach much deeper computer programming skills commonly used in advanced text-based programing languages. This course is a great next step for kids who have mastered Scratch and would like to continue to learn more advanced coding. All of our online classes are led by instructors who are passionate about teaching kids' coding, with no more than a handful of students per group. Join us to experience the fascinating world of coding Minecraft for kids!

Students who are new to coding should take Scratch Ninja first to set the coding foundation. For students grades 2-4, we also recommend doing Minecraft Modding Quest after Scratch Ninja, before taking this class to ensure the best learning experiences.

We provide Minecraft Java Version license for Part 1 - 2 during the period of course so students do not need to purchase Minecraft licenses.

Intro to Intermediate Minecraft Modding

In this Intemediate Minecraft Modding intro class, we introduce students to the platform for coding on Minecraft. It is easy to use and very powerful. We will complete two fun challenges in this class. They will also start building their very first mod! This is an advanced coding class for grades 4-6. In this intro class, we will not code on Minecraft itself but will use an emulator instead, because it takes a lot of time to enable coding for Minecraft. However, in Parts 1 - 3 of this course, the code will run on Minecraft software. Sign up today to start learning Minecraft coding.

Minecraft Code to Mod - Level 1

In this exciting Minecraft coding class, students will have a great time learning to create and mod for their favorite game - Minecraft! Their code will spawn their favorite creatures, build cool structures, and create games to challenge others. Students will master important programming concepts such as functions, loops, variables, just to name a few, taking a big step forward toward developing their computer science skills.

Minecraft Code to Mod - Level 2

In Part 2 of this Minecraft coding course for kids, we will cover more advanced coding concepts such as functions with inputs and outputs, array, string, and more. Students will also learn more advanced modding techniques in Minecraft, and build both single-player and multi-play games. We encourage students to apply their own creativity and build projects that reflect their own passion using the core computer science knowledge they'll gain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Minecraft Code to Mod

What is Minecraft

Today, Minecraft is one of the most popular video games in the world. In the game, players can create and break apart various kinds of blocks in three-dimensional worlds — and they can do it all with their friends! With Minecraft coding, kids can turn all their ideas about how they wish the game would be into reality. Create & Learn's free Minecraft class and Minecraft camps are a great way to open their eyes to a whole new world, while building core coding skills that can equip them for the future.

What's the difference between Minecraft Modding Quest and this class?

We offer two Minecraft modding classes: Minecraft Code to Mod (this class) and Minecraft Modding Quest. Both teach Minecraft modding, but they use different tools and feature entirely different projects — there is no overlap.

  • Minecraft Modding Quest is designed for grades 3–6. It’s ideal for students who have learned Scratch coding and want to apply their skills to building Minecraft mini-games. It also introduces new coding concepts using Minecraft Education Edition, which includes a built-in, easy-to-use coding tool.

  • Minecraft Code to Mod is designed for grades 5–9. It uses Minecraft Java Edition along with Learn to Mod, requiring students to work with two separate platforms. The coding is more advanced, and the tool is more complex. Although it still uses block-based coding, the structure is more similar to JavaScript, making it more challenging.

Younger students may take Minecraft Code to Mod after completing Minecraft Modding Quest.

What specific projects or challenges will students complete?

In the initial trial, students complete two fun challenges using a Minecraft emulator and begin building their first mod. They learn to spawn creatures, build cool structures, and create simple games. In Part 2 of the full course (Minecraft Code to Mod Level 2), students cover advanced concepts—such as functions with inputs/outputs, arrays, and strings—and learn advanced modding techniques. They build both single-player and multiplayer games, applying their creativity to projects that reflect their interests.

How does this class fit into the broader Create & Learn learning pathway?

Minecraft Code to Mod is an intermediate-level course that follows foundational Scratch classes. After completing this series, students are prepared for advanced Minecraft-based courses—such as Minecraft Modding Quest (Grades 3–6) or Accelerated Java coding classes—and can smoothly transition to text-based programming languages like Python or Java. The course builds computational thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills that apply to future STEM and game-development classes.
