Minecraft Interactive World Builder#

This project is intended as a fun way to learn the Python Programming Language.

Experienced Python programmers can also use this library to create Minecraft worlds with interactive Python features.

Quick Start#

To get started learning Python, see Introduction

For existing Python developers, see API documentation

Example Build#

The pagoda and castle with working portcullis were all created programmatically with Python and the current version of MCIWB.

Goals#

Minecraft Interactive World Builder’s goals are:

Use Python to create anything inside of Minecraft worlds.

Call Python code when events occur inside the world.

Use an iPython prompt to interact with the world by typing Python commands

Have your player inside the world execute Python code by placing command signs or activating switches/levers with Python actions.

All instructions on how to set up a Minecraft Server and the Python developer environment are included. There are step by step tutorials to introduce Python Programming and the features of Minecraft Interactive World Builder.

Note

This is a work in progress. There are now enough tutorials to learn the fundamentals of Python and enough functionality to have some fun interacting with Minecraft from Python code.

I will continue to expand the tutorials and add more features to the library.

Credits#

This project would not be possible without mcipc, which provides the client library for Minecraft RCON.
