The Raspberry Pi Experience

  This project was quite easy because it was our first one. It was a fun and long project it was also our introduction to raspberry pi 1. We used python to use as a gaming system to operate minecraft on the pi.

With Minecraft running, and the world created, bring your focus away from the game by pressing theTab key, which will free your mouse. Open Python 3 from the application menu and move the windows so they’re side-by-side.

You can either type commands directly into the Python window or create a file so you can save your code and run it again another time.

If you want create a file, go to File > New window and File > Save. You’ll probably want to save this in your home folder or a new project folder.

Start by importing the Minecraft library, creating a connection to the game and testing it by posting the message “Hello world” to the screen:

from mcpi.minecraft import Minecraft

mc = Minecraft.create()

mc.postToChat("Hello world")

If you’re entering commands directly into the Python window, just hit Enter after each line. If it’s a file, save with Ctrl + S and run with F5. When your code runs, you should see your message on screen in the game.
