This document discusses using events in Minecraft coding. It introduces events and event handlers, and how they can be used to trigger actions when certain events occur in the game. The document outlines several lessons that teach coding blocks to make flowers and gold appear when walking, create parrots from broken cake blocks, and link events so that diamonds appear when glass breaks and wool appears when diamonds break. The final section encourages independent projects and documenting events coding in a programming diary.

1. Coding with Minecraft 2:
Events

2. LessonA:
Introduction to Events

5. EVENTS AND
HANDLERS

6. Configure an event handler to cause
something to happen by using the player
toolbox drawer. (Blue section with “Player”)
• Make flowers and then gold appear
wherever you walk.
• Modify the code so the effect of the event
changes
YELLOW BRICK
ROAD

8. The definition of an event and what it
can do in a computer program
Event programming in Microsoft MakeCode
To change our Minecraft world through coding

9. Further exploration into event
handlers and coding blocks.
Learn how events can be used
to trigger another event
Zombies!

13. • Create an event that starts with a
cake block being broken.
• Make parrots appear from a cake
using an event handler code
• Make more parrots appear using a
loop!

THE ALAMO

16. LESSON C:
LINKING EVENTS

18. • Build a wall of glass using an event block.
• Use an event that makes a diamond
appear when a glass block breaks.
• Use an event that makes make orange
wool appear when ever diamond blocks
are broken.

22. INDEPENDENT
PROJECT

23. PROGRAMMING
DIARY ENTRY
In your area of class notebook, under the
section “Minecraft Programming Diary”
Create a page called “Events” and answer
the following:
• What problem did you solve, or why did you
decide to create this project?
• What kind of event and event handler did you
decide to use?
• What does your program do? Describe how
your program works (what the cause and
effect are).
• Include at least one screenshot of your
program working.
