It offers over 30 hours of interactive videos, quizzes, badges, contests, and bonus materials, with one year of access and teacher support, making coding engaging and accessible. ## Description Kids Learn to Code in Java by Making Mods for Minecraft Youth Digital's mission is to teach kids real software coding and design skills by creating awesome projects with cutting-edge technology. In our most popular online course, kids will learn the fundamentals of Java programming by creating their own Minecraft Mod for the PC / Mac version of Minecraft. For every item, block or creature they want to add, kids will first design and then code their object in Java. At the end of the course, they will have their own completed Minecraft Mod that they created from scratch. Mod Design 1 for Minecraft is a unique opportunity for young students to learn Java in an exciting way. They will not only come away with an impressive project to share with their friends, but also with a foundational knowledge of object-oriented programming. Software Overview In order to get started Modding, students first download and install Eclipse (a professional programming tool), and Java version 1.7. We install a static version of Java so that if Java updates, it will not disrupt the course technology and user experience. Additionally, we use Minecraft version 1.6.4 to teach students how to create their own mod. We use this version instead of the most recent 1.8 version because more recent updates would not be as stable or consistent for our students long-term. While we teach our students program using the code base for Minecraft 1.6.4, they can export their project to the latest 1.8 version at the end of the course. Requirements -Minecraft for PC/Mac -Windows 10, 8, 7, or XP or Mac OS 10.7 or higher -Macs MUST be 64-bit (after 2008) Includes a box, so it makes a great gift! Review: Wow, my 11 year old is programming in Java!!! - I only have good things to say about this company, they are creating fun interactive training courses for kids to learn by doing what they love, playing! I got my 11 year old son the Mod Design 1 course, and he is literally programming in Java to make his ideas come to life in Minecraft. I have watched a couple of the videos with him, and the trainer is a total goofball, but my son is laughing and learning, so don't let that turn you off; the goofy + serious training totally works... You might think it is expensive, but it is a true training class, and I think it is a good value for what you get out of it. Having been a programmer for almost 20 years, I can say that it is really good stuff, and critical concepts that kids are going to be required to know at some point. They have other courses too, such as fashion design, 3D Game Design, 3D Animation, App Design (you actually build and install an app on an iPhone or iPad!), and others. It would make a great Christmas present! ... ok, done with my product advertising... no I don't get paid for this, I just want them to make more of these! Review: Does not work on Macs, no tech support for Macs - This course does not work on Macs--if you are running a Mac, do not buy this. They say in their advertising that it works on Macs, but it doesn't, and they do not provide adequate support to address the issues. Once they figure out that you are on a Mac, they simply stop responding to your Tech Support inquiries. We bought this for my 11 year old son for his main Christmas gift. We also bought a new iMac computer from the Apple Store so we could do the Youth Digital course. Despite working with the Youth Digital Tech Support for nearly two months, the course would not even install correctly enough to do the course. After multiple chats with tech support as well as live screen shares, they said my computer was too unique and they did not have a quick fix. By. It was a stock purchase from Apple -- nothing unique and I had not installed any other software. We also tried the course on our older iMac, which was running the Lion operating system. It didn't work on that one either. It is really disappointing and my son is crushed. ## Features - Kids, ages 8-14, learn Java programming by making their own Mods for Minecraft - Includes 30+ hours of online & interactive videos - Includes quizzes, badges, challenges, contests and bonus material - Includes 1 year access to online course and teacher support - Winner of the 2014 Top Homeschooling Curriculum & 2015 Parents' Choice Gold Awards! ## Images ![Youth Digital Mod Design 1 - Online Course for MAC/PC - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PPD8yqm0L.jpg) ![Youth Digital Mod Design 1 - Online Course for MAC/PC - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yYEW53FcL.jpg) ![Youth Digital Mod Design 1 - Online Course for MAC/PC - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QOvE3ojfL.jpg) ![Youth Digital Mod Design 1 - Online Course for MAC/PC - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cjLuPiHsL.jpg) ![Youth Digital Mod Design 1 - Online Course for MAC/PC - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711wihm5A1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, my 11 year old is programming in Java!!! *by I***Y on November 26, 2015* I only have good things to say about this company, they are creating fun interactive training courses for kids to learn by doing what they love, playing!

Through their course videos, one of the first lessons is downloading and installing the software needed. It is one download that comes straight from them and it installs everything you need. It just works, and the videos make following along simple as can be. My son is 10 and he does this as part of his homeschooling. It is so well done that he takes the courses himself with no adult help whatsoever. I come home from work and we go over what he did that day and how he did it. The pure joy he has from showing off something he created himself is completely worth it. Well done class, and even though he isn't even finished yet, we are already planning on getting him the 3D animation course next. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8763716-youth-digital-mod-design-1-online-course-for-mac-pc](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8763716-youth-digital-mod-design-1-online-course-for-mac-pc) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-30*
