If you mean my positive review of the online Minecraft mods class my DD just finished, it is *not* the same class.

It is not the same class, but I will testify that DD10 is really enjoying the YouthDigital one.

My apologies AlexsMom; that's what I get for hastily trying to post before rushing DD off to Nutcracker rehearsal. I had thought the review was here, but I realize the review for the Youth Digital course I was thinking of was probably on another forum, perhaps The Well-Trained Mind.

No problem! :-)

I must confess my ignorance here. That's why I'm buying the course for DD. She wants to learn some coding for Minecraft, and I have no idea what can be done or how to do it. I thought this would be a good introduction for her.

I do know the course is broken into twelve modules, but I don't know what they learn to create in each:
A Whole New Sword
Your Pick
Brand New Items
Ore Galore
Suit Up
A Biome by You
Custom Creature
Way More Instances
New Friends
Enter the Interface
Package It Up

You can modify all sorts of things, but the course starts with basics (creating items, creating blocks, creating a creature, etc.). We really liked the course but it is a starting point. So my daughter would always want to do more than they showed, but then we worked together to figure it out. It would be possible to do the course and learn very little about coding, but a motivated child can learn a huge amount if they make the effort to understand what is presented (not just to copy and paste) and then to go beyond it.
