Code Connection for Minecraft is an extension that allows educators and students to explore, create, and play in an immersive Minecraft world – all by writing code.

This section describes an edition of the game that has been officially discontinued.

 

The Code Connection app was discontinued on December 1, 2023. You can still use Code Builder or CodeConnectFix to code in Minecraft.^[1]

Code Connection launches in a separate window. From here the user can select an environment.

• Code.org
• Microsoft MakeCode
• Tynker
• ScratchX
• Other supported editors^[verify]

Once an editor is selected, paste the /connect command into the chat. You can then return to Minecraft and you'll be greeted by the Agent, who can be programmed to perform all sorts of activities in-game, from mining to building to farming.

Code Connection was officially discontinued on December 1, 2023, however, if you head to the Minecraft Tynker website and create a mod, you will still be able to link it up to the game.
