Place a Block Using Code

We can place Minecraft blocks by using code. Here is our cheat sheet we use to help us remember how to do it.

Creating Patternings Using Scratch

Patterning is easy if you know how to use the 'Repeat' function. All you need is a core and repeat multiple times. Follow this link to learn how to create a simple pattern in Scratch.

Rebooting Pi Club

This week we started assembling the Raspberry Pis. My helpers were very eager to learn how the hardware works together to create a computing device.

Pixel Art - - Coded

We have been exploring how to use Python code to place the blocks and create digital works of art. By placing blocks to 3 coordinates, x, y, z, we can display 2-D graphics in a 3-D world.

Code Blocks

Here is the instructions on how to code blocks.

A successful teleport in Minecraft

Today we attempted and succeeded at a successful teleport in Minecraft Pi. While the actual code was easy, it was the minor details that we had to debug.

What we learned today was that you need to put the python program that you have created, in our case, teleport.py, into the following folder mcpi/api/python

If it is not in the correct folder, then it will not be able to communicate with the game and you will get an error message (like we did....10 or so times).

Where in Minecraft do you want to teleport to?
