Minecraft is one of the greatest games ever created, with endless opportunities to explore and build. But did you know that Minecraft can also be used to make your own game? You can use tools like redstone contraptions and signs to create stories, adventures, and puzzles—but the creativity doesn’t stop there! Using command blocks, you can learn to add code into your adventure map to do things like summon monsters, spring traps, give weapons and armor to players, and even teleport them to faraway places.

Beyond adventure maps, you can also dive into the Java source code of Minecraft to make your own mods, like never-before-seen tools or armor! With your new technical skills, you can go back and make your adventure map completely unique. 

Minecraft is great for thinking through design, and it’s the perfect place to  share awesome developments with your friends as you learn more about coding and creation. While you’ll learn a ton about real development that can launch a whole career, the fun of Minecraft and sharing games with your friends will make the journey feel like a breeze.
