Lesson 7

Try out some examples

Martin O'Hanlon created the Minecraft Pi API and a bunch of ingenious games with it. Pick one to try out and figure out how its code works.

To try one out...

• You can follow a link below to find each program's page, then scroll down the page until you find the CODE.
• Highlight O'Hanlon's code, copy it, paste it in your own python document (filename.py). Some also have a github link to download the code.
• Find the line that says mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() and edit to mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create("10.10.0.21",4711,"yourname")
• Sometimes you have to change the import statements to import from mcpi.
• The indents will all be made with spaces! You must remove all the spaces and tab the indents. All of them. It's a drag.
