Youth Digital Mod Design 1 - Online Course for MAC/PC

The best thing ever! I have created more than 100 items! This deserves 5 stars!!!!

Perfect for my coding/tech loving son. We bought it for him around age 10, then again age 12. He wanted to redo it. Now he codes and makes his own Minecraft mods. It is a very engaging video.

No effective support. Takes days to get a reply and the only way to contact support is by their chat system which is not live. No child will find this kind of help to be appealing. Mine certainly dont. I honestly believe their claim to provide helpful teachers is a vacuous claim.

I bought this for my 8 year old grandson. He loves Minecraft and all things computer related. I thought this might help him learn to do something more useful than playing games. It is wonderful! My son and grandson work together on this and he is really learning to code using Java. It is not an easy program to use, but they have wonderul support available. I would recommend this for older children also, my 8 yo is probably the exception in his ability to master the concepts (no, that is not just proud grandma talk - this kid is AMAZING with computers and games). Overall, well worth the money and I plan to buy more of their products.

Beyond my expectations! This has really got my kid to really focus on something that is both educational (learn about programming), fun to do(building something that no one else can do) and rewarding (gets to see it in action). Highly recommended.

Best self-teaching Java and Minecraft curriculum a kid could ask for. My daughter absolutely loved this program. It integrates great teaching videos, a programming environment, great support and more! Even I enjoyed watching and participating in the lessons while seeing her creations play out live on Minecraft.

I have a 10 year old son who loves Minecraft and recording Minecraft videos for Youtube. He does not have a server yet. I liked the idea to have him learn Java and improve his gaming. He would not be into coding if it wasnt for this avesome product. I would advise parents to spend 1 hour setting up an account with Youth Digital (provider) and downloading the files. Make sure that firewalls allow for installation and so on. And the let your kid loose once everything is working. Dont get your kid totally excited about uploading their own sword and they you spend an hour rebooting and creating folders. It was the best thing I got my son all year. The guy who teaches the kids in the videos is on the kids level, respectful, has a nice language and is a good role model. Somebody commented on his voice being weird, buts its sounds good to me. Which I had a science teacher like that in school :)

Its a very good way learning how to program for kids.

Bought this for our sons 9th birthday and it was his favorite gift ever - he was so sad when the course was over! Excellent method of editing Minecraft java code that is very engaging, productive and educational. Codecademy et al. didnt connect with the simple coding results, this integration with making a mod kept him incredibly engaged. The videos are very well done and had him laughing out loud. EXCELLENT support response - very fast, very personal and very well tailored for kids. Hardest part now is waiting for Mod Design 2 !

DO NOT BUY THIS!!! Youth digital sold its software to Apex learning. You can not access the coding software at all unless your public school has purchased it. I was told to ask for a refund. My kids are so disappointed...
