I will also show how to do simple (and sometimes more elaborate) turtle-based drawings in Minecraft, while you can ride along with the drawing as the turtle.įor a while now you could write python scripts for Minecraft on the Raspberry Pi. There is a whole book introducing programming using python scripts for Minecraft, and you can even make simple Minecraft-based games. I myself made fun scripts to draw a water-filled glass donut and a gigantic Klein bottle, to turn everything around into TNT and to control Minecraft with your brain using a MindFlex EEG toy.
With a few lines you can draw a giant glass sphere, and with a bit more work make a giant Sierpinski triangle in the sky and even import obj files like a space shuttle. Python scripts can generate neat in-world things, and there are many examples on the web. (If you want something simpler than python, here is a Scratch version of this project.) I'll focus on Windows, though OS X and Linux should work just as well. This Instructable shows how to install and use a mod I wrote that lets you control Minecraft with python scripts.
