Want to try to program with the new Minecraft Pi API but don't have a Raspberry Pi yet?
RaspberryJuice implements a subset of the Minecraft Pi modding API for Bukkit servers.
The plugin listens on port 4711, and accept most of the Minecraft Pi commands, which are documented at http://wiki.vg/Minecraft_Pi_Protocol .
This plugin can already run most of the demos from the Minecraft Pi prerelease, and works with the Java and Python apis released with the prerelease.
Currently implemented commands:
world.getBlock
world.setBlock
world.setBlocks
world.getPlayerIds
chat.post
events.clear
events.block.hits
player.getTile
player.setTile
player.getPos
player.setPos
Protocol details:
The origin (0,0,0) is defined as the spawn location of the first loaded world. The player methods from the protocol acts on the only player on the server.
Example:
This Python script builds a rainbow near the spawn. Place this example in the api/python directory of the Minecraft Pi prerelease, start the server on the same computer, and run python name.py to run, replacing name.py with the actual name of the script.<<code>>
import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft
import mcpi.block as block
from math import *
colors = [14, 1, 4, 5, 3, 11, 10]
mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() height = 60
mc.setBlocks(-64,0,0,64,height + len(colors),0,0)
for x in range(0, 128):
for colourindex in range(0, len(colors)):
y = sin((x / 128.0) * pi) * height + colourindex
mc.setBlock(x - 64, y, 0, block.WOOL.id, colors[len(colors) - 1 - colourindex])
<</code>>
Result:
