Minecraft zauroczył rzesze użytkowników z całego świata. Miliony graczy w najróżniejszym wieku pasjonują się przedziwnym światem Minecrafta. Ci najbardziej doświadczeni nie tylko walczą z wrogimi istotami czy tworzą fantastyczne budowle, ale również modyfikują grę. Dzięki tym modyfikacjom, zwanym przez graczy modami, można zmieniać wygląd i działanie Minecrafta: tworzyć nowe krainy, budować imponujące konstrukcje, a także pisać minigry funkcjonujące w obrębie świata Minecrafta. Do niedawna te fantastyczne możliwości były dostępne tylko dla doświadczonych programistów.Ta książka została napisana dla najmłodszych pasjonatów Minecrafta. Pokazano w niej, w jaki sposób można tworzyć mody za pomocą narzędzia o nazwie LearnToMod. Dzięki temu oprogramowaniu łatwiej można zmierzyć się z wyzwaniami, jakie towarzyszą modowaniu Minecrafta. Młodzi adepci tej gry niepostrzeżenie przyswajają sobie podstawy kodowania i zdobywają pierwsze szlify podczas wykonywania różnych zadań. Rozwijają umiejętność logicznego myślenia i rozwiązywania problemów, wyzwalają naturalną dziecięcą kreatywność — i świetnie się przy tym bawią!Dr Sarah Guthals pochodzi z San Diego. Jej wielką pasją jest pomaganie innym w uczeniu się oraz informatyka, nic więc dziwnego, że poświęciła się uczeniu studentów i wykładowców akademickich informatyki i rozwiązywania problemów w sposób rozwijający matematyczne myślenie. Jest jedną z założycielek ThoughtSTEM, organizacji mającej na celu rozwijanie technik edukacyjnych, na przykład takiej jak LearnToMod, dzięki czemu nauka staje się cudowną zabawą. Obecnie Guthals tworzy dla GitHuba narzędzia programistyczne przeznaczone dla dzieci z całego świata.
