[For Python Education] Minecraft: Pi edition API Python Library modified version
This project mcpi_e is a fork from mcpi project [https://github.com/martinohanlon/mcpi]
mcpi Python library for communicating with Minecraft: Pi edition and RaspberryJuice.
I make some change for my students to use in the class lab.
Installation
Windows
pip3 install --upgrade mcpi-e
Note: you could use py or python -m to speify the python in your system
py -m pip install --upgrade mcpi-e
Linux / MacOS
sudo pip3 install --upgrade mcpi-e
Usage
from mcpi_e.minecraft import Minecraft
...
mc = Minecraft.create(servername,4711,playerName)
mcpi-e Change log
1. Enhancement for using mcpi in server with multiple users
-
User could pass player username as 3rd parameter when create a new Minecraft api instense.
ex:
mc=Minecraft.create(address,port,name) -
Change mc.Player to use entity so it will not pick the first user in the server.
2. Limit the Usage of mcpi
- Add the _send command 0.05s interval to slow down the speed
- limit the useage of setBlocks/setBlock
- limit the setBlocks W+H+L < 300 and WHL <1000
- max abs(y) of the setBlocks/setBlock will be 256
History
The Minecraft: Pi edition Python library was originally created by Mojang and released with Minecraft: Pi edition.
Initial supported was provided for Python 2 only, but during a sprint at PyconUK 2014 it was migrated to Python 3 and py3minepi was created.
The ability to hack Minecraft from Python was very popular and the RaspberryJuice plugin was created for Minecraft Java edition. RaspberryJuice also extended the API adding additional features.
This python library supports Python 2 & 3 and Minecraft: Pi edition and RaspberryJuice.
Documentation for the Minecraft: Pi edition and RaspberryJuice API’s can be found at www.stuffaboutcode.com/p/minecraft-api-reference.html.
It was released onto PyPI in May 2018.
