This document provides instructions for 8 tasks related to programming in Python and Minecraft Pi. It outlines the steps to complete each task, with the goals being to practice file handling, typing, looping, sleeping, moving players, using 3D coordinates, variables, if statements, building, coloring blocks, and communicating between Minecraft and Python.

1. Task 1 is testing your file handling
& typing skills on RaspPi.
Step1/ open IDLE.
Task 2 is about Looping, Sleeping &
Moving the player with Python.
Step1/ Create a new python script
Step2/ Try to copy the code without
making any mistakes.
Step2/ Save it in
Step3/ Save it in
/home/pi/mcpi/api/python/mcpi
or change your old one!
/home/pi/mcpi/api/python/mcpi
as task1.py
Step4/ Go to
/home/pi/mcpi/
as task2.py
Step3/ Type in the code so that the
script repeatedly -
Waits for a bit.
& start MC
Step5/ Build a house like normal
Step6/ When you are ready for a
challenge—run the game (F5)
THEN
Teleports You!
Step4/ Press F5 & return to MC to
play with it.

2. Task 3 is practising your looping &
introducing 3D cords, vars & if.
Task 4 is about using the minecraft
chat window to show python vars.
Step1/ copy the code.
Step1/ copy the code.
Step2/ Test the script by digging.
Step2/ Test the script by moving
around on minecraft.
Step3/ How deep do u have 2 dig?
Change it.
Step4/ How high RU teleported?
Change it.
Step5/ Try to create a Wormhole.
Step6/ Attempt the extension task.
Tip: change xyz.y
to xyz.x
Find the xyz of your
minecraft home.
Step3/ What are all the numbers?
(Ext—Can you “format” them?)
Step4/ remember the if statement?
if xyz.y>some_number:
Step5/ Use the postToChat method
to send a funny message.
Tip: If height is greater than
50 then
say “Ha ha”

3. Task 5 builds things next to where
the player is currently standing
Task 6 introduces us to “for” loops.
Step1/ copy the code.
Step1/ copy the code.
Step2/ it may be easier to
understand the code if you press
enter after each comma.
Step2/ Make the Tower taller then
shorter.
Step3/ setBlock needs 2 things-
Step3/ Use a “nested” for loop to
build a wall.
An xyz position to build at
&
A type of block to build.
Ext—Make the tower multicoloured
Tip:
for column in range(0,10):
for row in range(0,10):
Build(row,column,10,WOOL)
Change where the blocks appear.
Change the colour of the blocks.
Ext—Build a Rainbow (hard!)

4. Task 7 gets you building out
of different materials
Task 8 gets minecraft talking to
python & python talking back
Step1/ Read the code.
Step1/ Read the code but wait!
Step2/ Try to explain to the
person next to you what the
code does.
Step2/ Do you understand what
the first two lines are doing?
Step3/ What is “red” doing?
Change this variable name as
you type the code in.
Step4/ What is countUp
doing?
Type them up without looking at
the sheet.
Step3/ Why does the code say y-1
How could we change it to find
out which block is in front of us?
Change this var to countAlong
Step4/ What does the + do in line
5?
Change it to comma.
Step5/
What does the str do?
Change the Torch to a Train.
Try to add wheels, windows…
Try it without str.
Step5/ Make sure you try the EXT
