But it is free (as in beer) and there is an API (implemented as a local TCP server) that lets you modify the world from any language (they include bindings for Python and Java). You probably can even use telnet ;) See protocol spec attached below. - Bert -
MCPI-PROTOCOL 0.1 OVERVIEW The mcpi-protocol enables an external process (program) to interact with a running instance of Minecraft Pi Edition. The protocol can easily be implemented and used from any programming language that has network socket support. The mcpi release includes api libraries (with source) for Python and Java. * Tcp-socket, port 4711 * Commands are clear text lines (ASCII, LF terminated) DEFINITIONS x,y,z -- vector of three integers. xf,yf,zf -- vector of three floats. blockTypeId -- integer 0-108. 0 is air. blockData -- integer 0-15. Block data beyond the type, for example wool color. See: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Data_values_(Pocket_Edition) COORDINATE SYSTEM Most coordinates are in the form of a three integer vector (x,y,z) which address a specific tile in the game world. (0,0,0) is the spawn point sea level. (X,Z) is the ground plane and Y is towards the sky. COMMANDS -- World -- world.getBlock(x,y,z) --> blockTypeId world.setBlock(x,y,z,blockTypeId) world.setBlock(x,y,z,blockTypeId,blockData) world.setBlocks(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,blockTypeId) world.setBlocks(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,blockTypeId,blockData) world.getHeight(x,z) --> Integer world.checkpoint.save() world.checkpoint.restore() world.setting(KEY,0/1) chat.post(message) -- Camera -- camera.mode.setNormal() camera.mode.setThirdPerson() camera.mode.setFixed() camera.mode.setPos(x,y,z) -- Player -- player.getTile() --> x,y,z player.setTile(x,y,z) player.getPos() --> xf,yf,zf player.setPos(xf,yf,zf) -- Entities -- TBD -- Events -- events.block.hits() --> pos,surface,entityId|pos,surface,entityId|... (pos is x,y,z surface is x,y,z, entityId is int) events.clear()
