Students will explore the fundamentals of data packs by looking at the formatting and how to change properties in Minecraft.

Next, students will progress to changing the textures and names of different items through datapacks. They will install their datapacks and start building features they’ll use for their final projects.

To enhance their games, students will practice creating art assets and graphics and begin exploring mob textures and mob loot tables. Students will also dive into the crafting system and create new recipes.

Students will craft and refine their final projects with features like redstone traps and treasure chests.

To complete the week, students will polish their dungeons and add any story elements they’d want to add. They will share their projects with their peers for discussion and constructive feedback.
