Minecraft Modding

Make your own Minecraft world.

Create new blocks, items, creatures, environments, achievements, and events with MCreator.

Go home with your Minecraft mod.

This course is perfect for students who are interested in Minecraft and want to explore how the game’s world can be altered using beginner-friendly modding tools. The class blends guided exploration with structured, creative projects, helping students work their way up from simple edits to more advanced game changes.

Students create custom blocks, items, textures, tools, and mobs using MCreator, then test their creations inside Minecraft to see their ideas come to life. They experiment with events, animation, modeling, and simple AI behavior, and try projects inspired by RPG design such as building quests and interactive characters. Fairfax Collegiate provides laptops for students to use, and students work individually on their mods while sharing and testing them together in class.

At the end of the course, families receive digital copies of all student work (mods require a PC with Minecraft Java edition to play at home). Students leave ready to keep experimenting with modding at home and more confident in exploring programming, digital design, and game creation.
