NEW!✨ BUILD, CODE, CREATE

Future Stars Minecraft Modding Camp invites campers to experience Minecraft in a whole new way. This hands-on program introduces Java programming fundamentals and puts those skills to work through Minecraft modding. Starting with the basics, campers progress throughout the week to create more structured and interactive programs.

As they learn to write reusable, modular code, campers manipulate the game world, design custom items and interactive objects, and develop AI behaviors for original creatures. Through guided challenges and creative problem-solving, campers strengthen coding skills while bringing their ideas to life inside Minecraft.
