Oh no, our village has been

destroyed by __________________
(adjec4ve)

______________ and now you must
(noun)

help re-build a new home and

community!

The mayor shows you a map of the
barren land. The map (on the right)
shows our land on a coordinate grid
system divided into 4 quadrants.
Each unit on the grid represents
1 metre in length within Minecra..


First things rst: we need to build a bed to sleep in so we can have a good nights rest from this
terrible turn of events! Unfortunately, all the construc4on workers were injured in the event, so you
must exercise your brilliant math and coding skills to rebuild your Minecra. village! You will code
scripts and use 1 x 1 unit materials to build objects, furniture and other infrastructures in your world.

1)
1) Using units of wool material, lets
2) The next morning, the mayor decides we need to
build a maTress. Write scripts to
create market stands to buy and sell food so we
build a 2 x 3 unit rectangular maTress
can kick-start the economy. In quadrant IV, build
(using wool) with the boTom le. vertex
a 2 x 5 unit U-shape market stand using wood
at point (1, 3). Refer to the illustra4on
material. The boTom-le. vertex should be at
below:
point (1, -10) as seen below:



NOTE: Since Minecra6

uses the centre point of

2
the material instead of

verBces as reference
3

(1, 3)

points (as depicted in

these graphs), you may
need to adjust the posiBon
of shapes accordingly.
Your teacher will clarify
and demonstrate.

3) The mayor thinks you need to relocate the
the food stand so that people can nd you.
Using a new type/ colour of material, write
scripts to build a new copy of your food stand
with the following transforma4on:

- transla'on 5 units up and 3 units right

You may use the grid below to help you sketch out
the transformaBons:

4) Seeing your success, a neighbour decides to build

another food stand to meet the food demands in
the village. To serve the other half of the village,
he wants to open one up in Quadrant III.

Using a new type/colour of material, write a script
to build the neighbours food stand by performing
a mirror reec'on of the current loca4on of your
food stand across the Y-axis.

5) The mayor announces new ver4cal railroad tracks will be built along x=1 and x=2. This track will
be dangerously close to your food stand so we have been advised to move further along the
posi4ve X axis and change the orienta4on. Using your food stand from Step 3, write a code to
perform the following transla4ons:
- Reec4on across the X axis
- Transla4on 1 unit down and 1 unit right
- 90 degree counter-clockwise rota'on around the centre point of the shape.

6) Its 4me to design the rest of your village! Choose four of the following shapes and use code to
perform the following transforma4ons (make sure your shapes do not overlap with anything else
on your map!) PRO TIP: sketch out your design rst on paper

qT-shaped garden transla4on 3 units le. and 2 units down OR

qL-shaped store (3 x 2) reec4on across the X axis OR
qSquare lake with a hole in the middle (3 x 3) rota4on around the origin (0, 0) OR
qTown square (5 x 5) transla4on 2 units to the right and 4 units up, then rotate 270
degree clockwise around the origin (0, 0) OR

qCreate your own shape! Then, perform a combina4on of two transforma4ons on your
shape (transla4on, reec4on or rota4on). Make sure to write a descrip4on for the order of
the transforma4ons you use on a Minecra. sign or write it in the space below. When
youre nished, share with a classmate to cross-check your answer.
