Exercise Sheet:
Building structures using iterations Ð Mark Scheme
Task 1.0 - Building
your name in Minecraft
Marking Criteria:
3 marks: Use of for loops and be able to build their name in the Minecraft game environment.
1 marks: No evidence of loops used, but able to build their name in the Minecraft game environment.
No marks: None of above completed
Task 1.1 - Building Basic
Shapes & Structures
Marking guidance: The code written by students does not have to be exactly the same as the example answer given below. As long as the student can produce the same structure on the exercise sheet using iterations and less than 50 lines of code for each questions, marks can be awarded.

Code (4 marks) |
Max 4 marks if the student included all the following in their code: á While loop á For loop á mc.player.getPos() á position.x á position.y á position.z á mc.setBlock(x, y, z, type) Max 3 marks if the student included 5 - 6 different functions and iterations from the list. Max 2 marks if the student included 2 - 4 different functions and iterations from the list. Max 1 mark if the student included 1 Ð 2 different functions and iterations from the list. No marks if no evidence of any function listed used. |
