Minecraft EDU Mods/Extensions

Minecraft

Hello! I was wondering if you can create Mods for Minecraft EDU? @MakeCode @richard @KIKIvsIT

I have read you cannot, but have seen Mods being added behavior packs. Are behavior packs just another name for a mod? If you can, where can I find resources to learn how to make them?

Also, can you make costume coding blocks for MakeCode to be used in Minecraft EDU. For example, I would love to make a block that detects the collision of a projectile (arrow) at the position of the collision or the block it collided with. Where would I be able to find resources for making code extensions?

Thank you in advance for anyone that can point me in the right direction! I would love to start creating my own worlds and behaviors!

@rymc88 if you mean adding behavior packs and addons, that might be a better question for their support center. not supported AFAIK

you can however make makecode extensions for minecraft just like in arcade or micro:bit! the process is the same, but to access our github integration you need to go to the editor in the browser which unfortunately makes testing your extension a bit of a pain

and as for the detecting of the collision of an arrow; not sure that’s possible from within makecode. unfortunately we only have access to the events that minecraft sends us and i’m not sure that’s included. @eanders do you happen to know?

Thank you for the info and I completely forgot MakeCode and Minecraft are two separate things, so that makes sense.

I thought I saw something like that with Tynker or I might have been dreaming it :melting_face:, but that would be a great addition Minecraft team!
