Coding for Kids
Program Your Own Fireworks Show in Minecraft
This 4th of July, use coding to safely shoot off fireworks from the comfort of your computer! With Tynker’s Minecraft modding, you can create a simple mod where any event will trigger fireworks.
It’s easy to get started with Minecraft modding using Tynker. You just need to own the classic Minecraft* and have a free student account on Tynker with a linked parent account. You can quickly link Tynker with your Mojang account and enter your private world on the Tynker server, then you’re ready to start modding! When your mod is ready, you can deploy it to your server and test it out with just a click.
