Introduction
Lots of kids are interested in installing Minecraft “mods.” Mods are downloadable programs made by other players that change the way the game looks or acts.
Changes might include new content that alters the setting (like a mod that turns the game into a dungeon crawler) or the types of creatures in the game. A mod might introduce new game mechanics that allow players to do things like create incredible machines or visit outer space.
Playing mods is an activity that can kick-start a passion for coding. The modding community tends to be very friendly and supportive. It can offer aspiring coders and game designers the resources they need to hone their craft.
