Introduction to use of badges

    Badges help people to divide their work into different modules. Why to divide the work into modules? Its easy to complete a work or a task when it is divided into modules as it avoids confusion. In mine craft, writing a mod is portioned into badges like functions, drones and locations and etc. As the people complete and earn the badges, they become enthusiastic and tries to learn more about mine craft. The badges helps the people to learn something new as they finish the tasks and unlock the badges.

                                                                Teachers can also easily explain to the students about the mine craft by assigning them the badges every week and can make them ideal to use the software. They can also encourage the students by honoring them with the badges to every task they complete.

Functions Badge

Functions are the main sources of the mod which supports the given commands to get into action and work. For example if we are writing a message which should say hello and then how are you and then my name is ******. These messages should be written under the function which acts like a standard for those messages and makes them to get into action.

To unlock the functions badge, execute the following code:

Drones and Locations

A drone is an invisible object you create every time you execute any of the building or any movement functions. When you execute, a new drone is created and works on your building on your behalf. In other words it is like a remote control plane which moves freely and build things for you.

In mine craft, by using the drones and locations badge we have written a code to build a small tower with three bricks and gave it a direction and the distance parameters to locate it. The following video gives you a brief explanation about the drones and locations badge and how to use that badge.

To unlock the drones and locations badge, one must execute the following code:

Inventory and Entity badge

An inventory and entity badge includes the things like swords, bricks etc and one can use them to create the things which can be brought into action. In this blog we have explained that to how to create a zombies and how to give a weapon like diamond sword, wooden sword and some more to a person to defend the zombies. This can be created by writing a code using the loop badge to repeat the above mentioned action for several times.

Introduction to loops

The loop badge is all about repeating a task for several times by using a loop function. This is helpful when we want the same function to work for several times. By using this badge we can write the code for one time and can repeat that action for any number of times.
