Minecraft is seen by many as nothing more than a game or a toy for kids. However, apart from that, Minecraft is a great place for kids to learn how to code.
Minecraft explains how to play the game using the Java programming language. Players can either make their own blocks or use those already in the game to build incredible structures.
Minecraft was developed using Java language. Java is a popular and effective programming language for coding, and many games, websites, and even our Android apps use Java.
Typically, Java is suitable for kids aged 10 and above, but other kids can also benefit from Minecraft coding. Microsoft has created Minecraft ‘Hour of Coding’ which is a free online platform for kids to learn coding.
Minecraft console commands are instructions typed into the chat box to change or trigger events. Written commands could involve generating new features, being invisible, teleporting, changing weather and time, etc.
