The last is actually the nicest in some ways, so I'll have some optional steps on how to do that.

You can create Python scripts for Minecraft with a text editor, the IDLE environment which comes with Python, or with Visual Studio Python Tools on Windows. I assume that you have basic facility with creating folders and downloading, unzipping, and copying files on Windows (or your operating system of choice). (I later found out that someone wrote the mcpiapi mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 a couple of weeks earlier.) I wrote this Instructable initially for Python 2.7, but I think most of my samples will work for 3.x. So I wrote the Raspberry Jam Mod for Minecraft 1.8 (now ported to 1.8.8, 1.8.9 and 1.9 as well) that emulates most of the Raspberry Pi Minecraft protocol (about the same as the Raspberry Juice plugin provides) and lets Raspberry Pi python scripts run with full desktop Minecraft. But not everyone wants to install and configure a server. You could run your own server with the Raspberry Juice plugin which enables most of the python scripts to work. I wanted my kids to be able to do that, but we don't have a Pi, plus it would be nice to do this with the full desktop Minecraft. I will also show how to do simple (and sometimes more elaborate) turtle-based drawings in Minecraft, while you can ride along with the drawing as the turtle.įor a while now you could write python scripts for Minecraft on the Raspberry Pi. There is a whole book introducing programming using python scripts for Minecraft, and you can even make simple Minecraft-based games. I myself made fun scripts to draw a water-filled glass donut and a gigantic Klein bottle, to turn everything around into TNT and to control Minecraft with your brain using a MindFlex EEG toy. With a few lines you can draw a giant glass sphere, and with a bit more work make a giant Sierpinski triangle in the sky and even import obj files like a space shuttle. Python scripts can generate neat in-world things, and there are many examples on the web. (If you want something simpler than python, here is a Scratch version of this project.) I'll focus on Windows, though OS X and Linux should work just as well.

This Instructable shows how to install and use a mod I wrote that lets you control Minecraft with python scripts.
