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
