Walking random blocks

 

Walking Random blocks

In order to get the below code you will need to follow these blogs in order to get started:

Setting up the server link

My first code link

In this code you will use the following skills:

+Import code from libraries

+Create a connection to the Minecraft server(local on this pc only)

+Store 16 block ID's in a list

+ Create two procedures 1) drop a random wool block 2)drop a glass block

+Use a basic while loop (iteration)

+Call a named procedure, select a random number from a list and then drop that colour block

+Wait for 0.1 seconds

Instructions:

 Follow the steps below and you will get there pretty quickly:

 

1.Open Idle

2.Click on “File” > “New File”

3.Type out the following code















 






4.In the Adventures with Minecraft folder click on “Start Server”




5.At this point press enter and the following should happen….






7. Next press enter...then this should happen.....









 9. Next on Minecraft select “Multiplayer”.









9.Then type in "local host"









10.Type in local host and hit the “join server” button.


11. Press “Esc” on the keyboard to allow yourself to quickly pop back to IDLE so you can save and run your code.

12. In IDLE “File” >> “Save As” >> Call it “Drop blocks.py”

 

13. For it to work you will need to save it in a specific folder which is:

“AIMStarterKitPC\AdventuresInMinecraft-PC\MyAdventures”

Like I have here:














14. Still in IDLE select “Run” >> “Run Module”

15. Head back to Minecraft and you should see your code in action:


 












16. To kill the code / stop I from working you will need to press “Esc” >>> find this window in IDLE then close it down. See below:

My first program




  I don't have capacity to show how to install python on a PC as I don't have admin rights to my laptop for work. However this video is recent and very thorough and shows all steps needed to install Python and how to get started with IDLE.(Please watch this video then follow the steps below.

Now you have followed the steps in the video linked above you should have installed Python and have IDLE installed(where you will edit the code). 

To proceed further, I am assuming you have worked through the YouTube link and installed Python whatever the latest version is. With that comes an IDE(software to create and edit the code FYI). Next step is to create the code that will somehow influence you’re in game experience.

 

To keep this one simple we will stick to the old trusty “Hello world”. Follow the steps below and you will get there pretty quickly:

 

1.Open Idle

2.Click on “File” > “New File”

3.Type out the following code:









4.In the Adventures with Minecraft folder click on “Start Server”






5.Press enter.








7. At this point the following should happen….

 





 




 

8. Next on Minecraft select “Multiplayer”.






 




9. Next press direct connect..

 










10.Type in local host and hit the “join server” button.









 


11. Press “Esc” on the keyboard to allow yourself to quickly pop back to IDLE so you can save and run your code.

 

12. In IDLE “File” >> “Save As” >> Call it “Hello world.py”

 

13. For it to work you will need to save it in a specific folder which is:

“AIMStarterKitPC\AdventuresInMinecraft-PC\MyAdventures”

Like I have here:
















14. Still in IDLE select “Run” >> “Run Module”


15. Head back to Minecraft and you should see your code in action:










16. To kill the code / stop I from working you will need to press “Esc” >>> find this window in IDLE then close it down. See below:






Now you can start to do some interesting code....

Next try "Whack a block" link

Getting started with coding Minecraft Java Edition

 


How to code Minecraft with python on Java edition on PC.

Below is the instructions of how to set up the server which allows you run python code to mode your Minecraft game. All the hard work here was done by Martin O'Hanlon and David Whale get their book Adventures in Minecraft here 

During these blogs we will cover many of the key skills needed for GCSE Computer Science in the UK.... Each blog will indicate skills covered.

Selection

Iteration

Sequence

Data Structures(Lists)

Variables

Data Structures(2D arrays)

1.Visit this (site created by the co authors of Adventures with Minecraft.

2. Download the zip file on your computer.

3. Extract all the files

4. Open Minecraft Java edition

5. You will need to select version 1.12 as this is the version that works with the Adventures with Minecraft Server. You need to make sure that historical is ticked off like below.











6. Then click “new”, give the world a name and select version 1.12 see below. Then click on create to set up your own coding world.

 













7.This new world file should appear below:












8.Now from the main menu select “play” or “play offline” if you have no internet connection, before you do select your “Coding world” version that you set up previously. Like below:





 









9.Next up you will need to select  “Multiplayer”











10. Now you need to go to the Adventures with Minecraft folder that you downloaded and extracted earlier. Once you are in it follow this file path:

“AIMStarterKitPC\AdventuresInMinecraft-PC”


11. Then select the start server icon. At this stage you may be prompted to install Java. For this to work you will need to install it.











12. Once Java is installed, try clicking on the server icon and this message will appear:

 








13. At this point press enter and the following should happen….

 











14. Next press direct connect..

 











15.Type in local host and hit the “join server” button.











And your in.....












Next up how to get your first piece of code to work.


Now check out blog 2 my first code......link
