Paignton Library Code Club – Minetest
Some of the laptops at Code Club have had Minetest installed, this is the free software clone of Minecraft. As with Minecraft, Minetest has lots of mods etc available.
The diode.zone peertube instance has some reviews of these mods. Please see link below.

Code Club 20/8/2022
The next Code Club will be on Saturday 20th August 2022 @ Paignton Library, we will carry on with what we are doing, mostly Hour of Code, block based programming, Scratch and the Free Code Camp responsive web design course.
We need MORE people in Torbay to come forward and run Code Clubs. Code Clubs could really benefit from working together too, so we can share expertise to benefit those who attend. We can then come together at STEM group meetings and share further.

Minetest – Minecraft clone
*An open source voxel game engine. Play one of our many games, mod a game to your liking, make your own game, or play on a multiplayer server.
This could be a great way to start programming and collaborating with others, could be something that can be discussed at the Paignton Library STEM group (see links below).
We do have two Raspberry Pi's, which we could install Minetest, Lua along with other related software. We just need people with the right expertise to help, either in person or virtually.
If you do come to the STEM group with the view to doing this then you will need to bring your own Laptop, Raspberry Pi or other device with you. We don't have Minetest installed on the computers at the library.

Learning and Modding
First step with this is probably going to be learning to program in Lua. The following may provide some useful links for this.

I have found this to be a really nice game, I never really got in to Minecraft, but this should easily appeal to those who like minecraft and similar games. Lots of options to build on this, develop levels, mods etc.
