Mod is a common term in the tech world. Short for modification, it refers to a user customized version of software or technology. LearnToMod aims to teach coding by helping users create mods for the popular computer game, Minecraft. It is unique in that it offers the choice between a block-style programming language and a written one, JavaScript. If you want to code using blocks, but still want to get more familiar with written commands, it also gives you the opportunity to switch back and forth. LearnToMod is a great way to venture into the world of game development.
