If your resident Minecraft fanatic is ready to take their experience to a new level of play, introduce them to modding! Modding allows Minecraft players to modify the game through code—giving them the ability to add a variety of gameplay changes, ranging from new blocks and items to new mechanisms to craft. It’s pretty much a Minecraft enthusiast’s dream brought to life!

Full-color, eye-popping graphics and a short page count hold their attention while the goal-based format keeps them focused on the task at hand. Before you know it, your kid will be writing their own mods and having even <i>more</i> fun with Minecraft.</p> <ul> <li>Kids can complete the projects on their own or alongside an adult</li> <li>Introduces getting started with a single-player, single-level game</li> <li>Moves readers on to multi-level game playing</li> <li>Finishes with a multi-level, multi-player game based on the classic “capture the flag” game</li> </ul> <p>With simple and clear instruction that your child can understand, <i>Modding Minecraft</i> is the perfect place for your kid to dig deep and open up a whole new world in their creative play.</p>
