The students can launch directly in the Minecraft world. It can either be designed by the instructor himself or by using one of the numerous templates in Minecraft. Using the classroom mode, the instructor can keep track of who' s where in the world, write in the chat and, if necessary, call students to the right place. 

The first thing you need to do is get to know Minecraft and get a little moving. This can either be instructed or can freely proceed. Then for instance the inventory is examined and so on. 

Afterwards we approach the topic of coding with a mind-experiment: "Code a Sandwich!" - The students are asked to consider which steps they have to complete in which order so that they receive a sandwich at the end. This is how we obtain the term algorithm, because this is what is used in coding. The computer needs the code in exactly the right order, otherwise it would do something quite different.This mind experiment offers a good introduction to coding.This mind experiment offers a good introduction to coding.  Afterwards you can begin coding directly in Minecraft.  You can either use instructions or templates, or you can start with simple tasks such as moving the agent, running a square, and so on. 

The level of difficulty can then be increased again and again. At the end you can set a common task, for example that the agent should dig a field and sow plants.These problems can then be tackled individually or as a team.
