Have you ever wanted to create your own Minecraft skins? In this one-time course, students will learn how to use Minecraft Skindex to create and customize their very own Minecraft characters. By learning how to use the Tint, Eye-Dropper, Mirroring, and Color Blending tools in Skindex, students will transform a blank template into the skin of their wildest dreams! At the end of class, students will log into the class server for an all exclusive Skin Fashion Show! (For this class, students will need to purchase the Java Edition of Minecraft on their own computers). In addition to providing a fun experience students will learn how to: - Use tools in the Skindex to achieve color and shading effects - Create a skin in real time alongside their teacher, who will demonstrate throughout the class - Upload/download to and from Skindex - Change their skin after downloading
