I established a Minecraft Server elective class and created a custom Java Minecraft server with plugins. The project combined software development with teaching.
A Java-based Minecraft server and elective class designed around programming, game systems, and teaching.
I established a Minecraft Server elective class and created a custom Java Minecraft server with plugins. The project combined software development with teaching.
The server used custom plugins and game modifications to create experiences that were not available in a standard Minecraft installation.
Approximately 20 elementary students participated in the class. I taught gameplay alongside basic computer skills, using a familiar game as an approachable environment for learning.
I designed and hosted unique events using plugins and game modifications. These events gave students new challenges while making the server feel like a shared community rather than a standard game server.
This project taught me that good technical systems are also about their users. Designing for students required balancing technical complexity, reliability, fun, and accessibility.
