Video games have emerged as a medium for learning by creating engaging environments, encouraging creative and deep thinking, and exposing learners to complex problems. Unfortunately, even though there are increasing examples of video games for many basic science and engineering concepts, similar efforts for higher level engineering concepts such as mechanics of materials are still lacking. Here, we present a mesh-free elasticity solver implementation in the popular video game Minecraft, a sandbox game where players can build any structure they can imagine. Modifications to the game, called "mods" in the Minecraft community, are a common feature of this platform. Our elasticity "mod" computes the stress and deformation of arbitrary structures and colors the blocks with a heat map to visualize the result of the analysis. We used this "mod" in the Honors section of two courses: Basic Mechanics I Statics, Mechanics of Materials. This "teaching tip" describes our experience developing and deploying this tool to encourage its use in biomedical engineering classrooms. A future goal is to engage the broader audience Minecraft players.
