Hacking Minecraft: Mods, Skins, and Textures
About our Minecraft hacking class
What is hacking in Minecraft?
Minecraft is a game that can be used to explore students’ creativity and imagination. Hacking and modding takes it one step further and challenges a students’ creativity to go beyond what already exists in the world of Minecraft. We will use Gimp, a graphics editor used to create and edit skins and textures.
