Youâve bested creepers, traveled deep into caves, and maybe even gone to The End and backâbut have you ever transformed a sword into a magic wand? Built a palace in the blink of an eye? Designed your own color-changing disco dance floor?
In Learn to Program with Minecraft®, youâll do all this and more with the power of Python, a free language used by millions of professional and first-time programmers!
Begin with some short, simple Python lessons and then use your new skills to modify Minecraft to produce instant and totally awesome results. Learn how to customize Minecraft to make mini-games, duplicate entire buildings, and turn boring blocks into gold.
Youâll also write programs that:
âTake you on an automated teleportation tour around your Minecraft world
âBuild massive monuments, pyramids, forests, and more in a snap!
âMake secret passageways that open when you activate a hidden switch
âCreate a spooky ghost town that vanishes and reappears elsewhere
âShow exactly where to dig for rare blocks
âCast a spell so that a cascade of flowers (or dynamite if youâre daring!) follows your every move
âMake mischief with dastardly lava traps and watery curses that cause huge floods
Whether youâre a Minecraft megafan or a newbie, youâll see Minecraft in a whole new light while learning the basics of programming. Sure, you could spend all day mining for precious resources or building your mansion by hand, but with the power of Python, those days are over!
Requires: Windows 7 or later; OS X 10.10 or later; or a Raspberry Pi. Uses Python 3 - Random House, Inc.
