Class Experience

For this class, only Minecraft Java Edition (not the Bedrock edition) for PC or Mac is supported. It is not compatible with iPads, tablets, phones, Chromebook, or game consoles. Students must purchase the Java Edition of Minecraft for their personal computers; tablets, Chromebook or consoles will not suffice.

Have you played Minecraft Survival before and always wanted to face the Wither and power up a beacon?  In this class, students will learn the best strategies for taking on the Wither, then team up to defeat it! After our victory we will use the nether star to construct a powerful beacon with special powers.  Class will begin with a guided lesson and end with the completion of these two major goals.

We strongly encourage students to have some experience with crafting, mining, and fighting mobs in Minecraft Survival. If your student is not familiar with Minecraft Survival, they are invited to take our previous class, Survival Minecraft Camp: Journey to the Ender Dragon! which has been tailored for beginner students. The ultimate expeditions of the game await! Are you ready to go on quests beyond the Ender Dragon?

This class is part of our 5-day series, “Survival Minecraft Camp: From the Wither to the Warden”. Students can either enroll for the full 5-day camp or enroll in individual days based on preference. The weekly schedule for our Survival Minecraft Days are:

- Monday - “Survival Minecraft: Vanquish the Wither”
- Tuesday - “Survival Minecraft: Conquer the Ocean Monument”
- Wednesday - “Survival Minecraft: Brewing and Woodland Mansion”
- Thursday - “Survival Minecraft: Explore the Bastion and End City”
- Friday - “Survival Minecraft: Defeat the Warden”

In addition to providing a fun experience students will learn how to:
 
- Collaborate with other students to complete different tasks in Minecraft Survival 
- Overcome obstacles by employing problem-solving skills
- Develop negotiating skills and multiplayer etiquette when conflict arises in a group setting and engage in teamwork
- Execute their creative ideas through conceptualization
- Use technology to accomplish goals
- Give instructions to others and accept feedback from teachers and peers alike
