Linking to other servers<\/h2>\n

In your first script, mychat.py, you created a link to the minecraft server on the local host using the command<\/p>\n

mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create()<\/code><\/p>\n

If you want to create a link to a minecraft server on another host, provide the IP address of the minecraft server to the create<\/code> function.<\/p>\n

mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create(\"192.168.17.50\")<\/code><\/p>\n

Setting a block<\/h2>\n

This exercise will set a block at a position specified by (x,y,z) coordinates in the minceraft world. We will use the setBlock<\/code> command to specify the position and type of the block. The setBlock<\/code> command can be used as either<\/p>\n

mc.setBlock(x,y,z,block)<\/code><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

mc.setBlock(x,y,z,block.id,variation)<\/code><\/p>\n

In the following example a wool block with colour orange (variation 1 for wool) is placed at x=-219, y=73, z=-222. This example uses the nano<\/code> text editor which available on Mac and Linux and easier to use than vi<\/code>. It has reminders at the bottom of the screen of the special key functions. To save type ctrl-o<\/code>. To exit type ctrl-x<\/code>.<\/p>\n

nano placewool.py<\/code><\/p>\n

\r\nimport mcpi.minecraft as minecraft\r\nimport mcpi.block as block\r\nmc=minecraft.Minecraft.create()\r\nmc.setBlock(-219,73,-222, block.WOOL.id, 1)\r\n<\/pre>\n
Run it while the server is running. The command will be<\/p>\n
python placewool.py<\/code><\/p>\n
If you have python 2 and python 3 on the same computer (eg Mac or Linux) then the command is most likely<\/p>\n
python3 placewool.py<\/code><\/p>\n
In minecraft, pressing F3 will let you see your coordinates so you can navigate (or teleport) to the coordinates to see the wool block you have placed.<\/p>\n
