What's Inside!

With Tynker, kids use beginner-friendly drag-and-drop programming tools to create Minecraft mods — and deploy them instantly, with just one-click. Whether they want to turn water into gold, build cities in a flash, or create multi-player games, their imagination is the only limit. Watch your code come to life in Minecraft!

What You'll Learn:

  • Learn Minecraft modding as you explore worlds and solve challenges in our course trilogy: Training Day, Agent Recall and Gears of Time.
  • Change the look of your Minecraft world with Tynker’s resource editors. Change the look of skins, items, blocks, and mobs.
  • Make a giant creeper, a totally custom boss, or change the behavior of any creature in Minecraft using our Minecraft Resource Editor with 3D modeling and simple code editing.
  • Write minigames and mods using Tynker’s Mod Editor — with dozens of commands, step-by-step tutorials, and a familiar block-coding interface, kids can make their Minecraft dreams come true with code.

No Prerequisites: Recommend completing Programming Basics

Recommended for Ages 6+

Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock Edition) purchase required.

Create more with Minecraft

Some kids even do some complex math and geometry using Minecraft’s 3D coordinates! More than anything, Minecraft allows kids to see themselves in computing, bringing their code to life in satisfying ways.

When you engage kids in activities that they’re interested in and passionate about, they’re incredibly motivated to problem-solve, debug, and learn. When you are making predictions, modifying other peoples’ code, then writing your own custom code to achieve your particular goal in Minecraft, you’re actually learning computer science!

How It Works:

Start a Course

On your student dashboard, select EXPLORE and search — or browse to Tynker’s Minecraft courses. Minecraft users (Minecraft for Windows, Minecraft for iPad) can start with Training Day and then continue on to Agent Recall and Gears of Time.

Minecraft: Java Edition (sometimes called Minecraft Classic) users start with Mod Design I and then onwards to Game Design 1.

You’ll need to purchase Minecraft (minecraft.net) to play the courses.

Completing Lessons

For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (also known as Minecraft for Windows or Minecraft for iPad) there is no need for a Minecraft server. You’ll step through courses in Tynker while having Minecraft open side-by-side. As you explore the worlds with your Minecraft player, you’ll encounter challenges. At this point you’ll switch over to the Tynker interface to code. Once you deploy your code, you can switch back to Minecraft and see the results of your code, running in the Minecraft world.

For Minecraft: Java Edition, Tynker provides a private server where you can deploy and experiment with mods. After you connect to the server, you’ll be able to run your mods. You can also invite friends to your private server.

Publish to the Community

Use Tynker Workshop and our Resource Editors to create your own Skins, Mods, Mobs, Add-Ons, and Items. You can also remix and learn from the millions of published Minecraft assets in the Tynker community. Don’t forget to publish your own creations!
