Code Club - Minecraft

Doesn't sound like we'll be doing real work? Well, you couldn't be more wrongerer!

We will be working our way through the Create: Above & Beyond modpack, building industrial engines, farming foodstuffs and trying to get to the moon.

Requirements:

Age: Aimed at children aged 10-15 yrs

Children must be adept using a keyboard and a computer and be able to read.

Parents must be aware that your child will be accessing the Internet.

O ur Laptops

There are two kinds of tickets: use our laptop or bring your own. If you want to use one of our laptops, there are only six, so you need to book early and you need to book each week. Just because you used a laptop one week, does not mean that it will automatically be available for you every week. You must, must book!

Bringing your own

• You need to have a laptop (because we are using a modpack, a tablet will not work), and it needs to have some grunt.
• You need to have a Minecraft account and bring the details including the account name, password and the email address you used to set it up

You will need to have the Create: Above & Beyond modpack installed.

• First, install CurseForge (https://www.curseforge.com/download/app)
• Second, search for Create: Above & Beyond (v1.3) within CurseForge and install it
• Importantly, you must have the correct version of Create: Above & Beyond in order to participate. You really need to do this before you come to the session.

T his is Code Club

Yes, we will be working within the Minecraft software; yes, there will be fun to be had. But this is about coding. We will be working our way through a modpack which requires finding resources and building machines and tools.

Participants should ideally have some idea about Minecraft, but it is not essential - you can learn by coming to these sessions. The critical thing is that you come to learn, to participate and to work as a team.

We will not abide griefing or the theft of other player's items in order to annoy them. Indeed, PVP has been turned off. This is a cooperative environment and we expect everyone to turn up with joy in their hearts and respect for their fellow minecraftians.
