Minecraft modding has become an increasingly popular activity among gaming enthusiasts and tech geeks in the teenage bracket, which is precisely why UK-based startup Code Kingdoms has gone ahead and launched an educational coding service that makes use of an innovative subscription service.
Code Kingdom's Minecraft modding tutorial is designed to make it easier than ever for children to learn JavaScript by making use of programmable single board computers such as those distributed by the BBC to one million UK schoolchildren earlier this year. It promises children the opportunity to learn how to code within the framework of a fun and entertaining game.
This particular venture points at the increasing popularity of modding, and its transition from a niche hobby to a potentially lucrative educational market.
