Just in time for the holiday season, we’re rolling out an awesome new set of how-to-mod tutorials on LearnToMod!
Train Your Sidekick Tutorials
Want to learn how to train a creeper to be your sidekick? (Or what about an Enderman or Cow?) I hope you answer with a resounding YES because that’s the correct answer! 😉 Want your sidekick to attack your enemies? We’ll teach you how to do that! Want to customize the way your sidekick looks? We gave our creeper sidekick, Billy, a sweet pair of pink shades. Our new badge series will teach you how to mod the AI (“artificial intelligence”) of a Minecraft mob and how to edit the texture of a Minecraft mob with our Texture Pack Painter tool! Let the games begin! Share your sidekicks with us here on the blog or tweet us a video using our Twitter handle @learntomod!
Javascript Mini-Game
Although Javascript modding has been available for several months, we’ve released our first Javascript tutorial series! (FINALLY, right?) This tutorial series is aimed to help our experienced Blockly modders begin the epic transition to Javascript modding! We work through a simple monster arena mini-game mod, but we take one step at a time to turn all that Blockly into Javascript!
New Look for the Learn Tab
The Learn page has a new look! Most of the LearnToMod badges you’re used to seeing are under the “Skills and Drills” category! Why is there broccoli pictured there? Well, because as my wise mom used to say, “you have to eat your broccoli before you can have your dessert”. Skills & Drills are necessary evils in life (like broccoli), and you need to do a bunch of these before you’ll be truly prepared for the fun tutorials, like the new Javascript Mini-Game & Sidekick tutorials! Of course, we hope our Skills & Drills are more fun than broccoli, but you get the metaphor now, right?
