Minecraft Hour of Code Adventurer

I think that Minecraft Hour of Code Adventure is a awesome way to teach people the basic concepts of coding like to have a character move a certain amount of steps later and preform a certain act like this!

We also had to use a "repeat loop" so we got work done faster and so that our character did what it needed to do faster.
Also we had to learn how to use a "if then" statement so that our character didn't fall into lava. Instead they placed a block on the lava so they could continue moving forwards.

I think that coding is important to learn, or at least understand the basic concepts of, coding so that we can, number one, understand the work that is required for almost everything that we use today. And number two, so that we can change things slightly if they aren't working. Like if your playing a game in Minecraft and one of the command blocks some how got messed up and your game crashed. Wouldn't you want to know how to figure that out on your own instead of googling how to work a command block in general? Coding would help you understand what is going into every game that you play and understand (pretty well) what is going on to make that game happen.

Minecraft Hour of Code Designer

I think that the Minecraft Hour of Code Design is really cool and helps us understand what goes on behind the screen and lets us create our own Minecraft which is awesome! Minecraft Hour of Code Design is part of Hour of Code which is a website that helps us learn how to code. I had so much fun playing Minecraft Hour of Code Design! It taught me the different things that go into each mob like when spawned, when touched, when used, when attacked, when day, and when night. 
You also get to make certain noises and items drop/happen when you do certain things in the game. 

Plus I you get to learn how to make a mob move towards or away from you. It makes me understand what goes on inside Minecraft more so now I understand some of the weird things that have been happening to me at home in Minecraft and at school in the game that we are making.
I was taught how to make mobs (or anything really) do certain things when one thing happens like it turning day or them being attacked. We also used a "forever do ____" which I hadn't used before. This let me make something do the same exact thing forever, like make a chicken move two steps forwards and turn in a random direction or make a cow mo every five steps.
 When you learn coding like this it helps you understand what goes into everything instead of staring at tons of words and symbols and wondering what they mean. 

The Maker Movement

The Raspberry Pi seems amazing to me! Especially since I'm using Minecraft to make my game. It just seems like it would be super helpful to my group because then we could mod our animals and bad/good guys to make them look the way we want them to. I would  probably make some custom villagers that look like what the characters in our game should look like since they won't just be normal villagers! Plus this would just be our group learning how to do something and our teacher wouldn't be telling us how to do everything, it would just be us and that seems like it will be fun!
The Raspberry Pi can do almost anything that a regular computer is since it is basically a little computer, except that it is more cool. It can be a normal computer, it can help you learn to mod, learn electronics, you can take pictures with it, helps with robots, network storage, and a retro game consule. All in all, this Raspberry Pi seems pretty amazing to me with all the cool things it can do! I think it would be great in a classroom or at home. I hope you have fun if you get it!

This game review will help you understand what is going on in our game.

Game Title: Ender’s Slayer Genre: Adventure

Hexxit (Minecraft modpack)

Storyline:

When Jacob was a young boy he was lost in the woods. One of the ancient Ender Slayers finds him and decides to take him in. The old Ender Slayer decides to teach the kid all he knows. When Jacob would train people would watch and comment about how terrible he was. It got to the point where the ancient Ender Slayer almost decided to let go of the kid, until… The old man one night got up to check on the boy when he heard a mysterious noise. It was Jacob training, He was up all night fight learning new skills. At one night the old Ender Slayer hears talking, when he walks outside Jacobs is talking to a girl, the girl was his sister Jane. Jane and her family were looking for Jacobs for years but no luck, until Jane came across the Ender Slayer website. When she finds him she wants to take him back home but he rejects. What he was least expecting was that his sister would join him in his training. As they train together Jacobs power strength becomes unbelieveable. When he says he is ready to go take on the Dragon his teacher (old Ender Slayer) insists not, but Jacobs leaves that night… Jane hears him asks where he's going he told her he was going to take out Dragon. Jane tries to talk him out of it, but Jacobs already made up his mind, so Jane decides to join him. When they get to the End they meet Dragon alright, but right before Dragon is defeated he takes Jane and gives her to Bones on the moon…

Jacobs long journey to the moon is indeed long, but anything is worth it to get back your family members. When he reaches the moon Jacobs sees the Bones temple with its mind twisting essence. Jacob fights many evolved mobs to find where Bones room is the journey is long and far. He finally finds Bones room. Jacobs knows he is out match but has luck on his side when Bones is brutally outmatched and killed. This then unlocks a room with a chest will random loot and Jane sitting there waiting for something to happen. When she sees Jacobs she cries tears of joy and goes home with Jacobs on his ship back to earth. THE END!

Most of my mechanics will be all with command blocks, teleportation, text, spawning, etc.

Command blocks will be most of my automating as well like making a spawn point for you at the beginning or telling you to set your spawn, my Command Blocks are going to spawn enemies, and my game will be in adventure mode.
