Once you have completed Set Up you have everything on your computer required to run the remaining tutorials.

At the start of each session you would need to prepare as follows:

• turn on your computer and log in

• start Docker Desktop from the start menu

  • (this can be configured to start automatically at login)

• start VSCode from the start menu

  • normally VSCode will open in your my_world folder ready to go

  • if it doesn’t then go to the menu bar and choose

    • File -> Open Recent -> ~/my_world

    • Terminal -> New Terminal

• On the terminal prompt in VSCode type:

  • cd $HOME/my_world

  • source .venv/bin/activate

  • mciwb start

• Open Minecraft Java client from the start menu

  • connect to the server mciwb_server

• Go Back to VSCode Terminal prompt and type:

  • mciwb shell –player <your player name>

  • (substitute <your player name> with your Minecraft player name)

• Arrange your windows so you can see both VSCode and Minecraft client

You now have everything you need to work through the tutorials.
