Minecraft Education : Project
Overview
In this project, you will use your creativity and coding skills to build a bustling city. You'll create
various types of buildings, proper roads, parks, houses, a school, and even spawn people to
make your city come alive. Use signs to name your buildings and streets, making it easy for
everyone to navigate your city. Let’s make it cool and fun!
Objectives
● Learn how to use code blocks in Minecraft Education.
● Build different types of buildings: houses, schools, parks, etc.
● Create proper roads and infrastructure.
● Use signs to label buildings and streets.
● Spawn people (NPCs) to populate your city.
● Learn coordinates and proper positioning.
Tools and Materials
● Minecraft Education Edition
● Access to the Code Builder (press 'C' to open in-game)
