Download the plugin

The coding platform is based on a Spigot plugin which offers a practical and user-friendly option compared to Minecraft Education MakeCode. The plugin is free for personal use and can be downloaded here. (137 MB)

The free plugin restricts usage to 5 concurrent students.

Setup

Simply copy the downloaded file into the plugins folder and restart your server.

The web page for creating programs will be reachable on your server at the following address:

http://<your_server_ip>:10273/editor/minecraft/index.html

Settings

After a server restart, a new folder named “visualmodder” is created next to the plugin file, containing a file named “visualmodder.properties”.

The visualmoder.properties file allows you to change the http port

HTTP_PORT

Sets the port used by the webserver for loading the programs. (Default is 10273)

Recommendation

We recommend using a Spigot version of the Minecraft server. While Paper servers are highly optimized, this optimization can cause a delay where newly generated blocks take a moment to appear for players.
