Python comes nicely packaged with installers so it was a simple to put in place. We then downloaded Python version 2.6.6 – it does, for simplicity, have to be this older version although I believe that with a little additional work you can run the latest version. The required text and information are all found on the Wiki. It’s not a complex task – the only fiddly thing is creating a small batch file to point to the version of Java that you have installed on your machine. Instructions on setting up a server can be found in several places on the Internet. Don’t use the latest build – go for 1.4.7 ( download page is here). On a Mac or PC, here’s what you need to do: First you need to download Craftbukkit server for Minecraft.

So I did some digging and found it’s possible to get the same broad set-up operating on a PC or Mac.įirst, if you are interested in running this on the Raspberry Pi – you can find the instructions here. Not only did the Pi crash a bit too often for my taste, but I don’t need a Pi when we’re already swimming in Macs and PCs in our house.
The chief limitation from my point of view was the Raspberry Pi. It worked well but there were limitations. I wrote yesterday about the excellent Thinkspace course that used a cut-down version of Minecraft on the Raspberry Pi to help teach kids about Python. It’s surprisingly easy to get set up to program in Minecraft with Python on a PC or Mac.
