Learn to Program with Minecraft: Transform Your World with the Power of Python

Book Description

You’ve bested creepers, traveled deep into caves, and maybe even gone to The End and back—but 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®, you’ll 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.

You’ll also write programs that:
–Take you on an automated teleportation tour around your Minecraft world
–Build massive monuments, pyramids, forests, and more in a snap!
–Make secret passageways that open when you activate a hidden switch
–Create a spooky ghost town that vanishes and reappears elsewhere
–Show exactly where to dig for rare blocks
–Cast a spell so that a cascade of flowers (or dynamite if you’re daring!) follows your every move
–Make mischief with dastardly lava traps and watery curses that cause huge floods

Whether you’re a Minecraft megafan or a newbie, you’ll 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

书名：学会用我的世界编程：用巨蟒的力量改变你的世界

你打败了爬山虎，深入洞穴，甚至可能走到尽头和回来–但你有没有把剑变成魔杖？一眨眼的功夫就建起了一座宫殿？设计了你自己的变色迪斯科舞池？

在……里面 学习使用《我的世界》®进行编程，您将使用Python的强大功能完成所有这些工作，这是一种由数百万专业程序员和初学者使用的免费语言！

从一些简短、简单的Python课程开始，然后使用您的新技能来修改我的世界，以产生即时且完全令人惊叹的结果。学习如何定制我的世界来制作迷你游戏，复制整个建筑，并将枯燥的积木变成黄金。

您还将编写以下程序：
-带你在我的世界里进行一次自动传送之旅
-瞬间建成宏伟的纪念碑、金字塔、森林和更多！
-当您激活隐藏开关时，创建打开的秘密通道
-创建一个鬼城，消失并在其他地方重新出现
-显示在哪里挖掘稀有石块的确切位置
-施展一个咒语，让花朵如瀑布般倾泻而出(如果你敢的话，也可以引爆它！)关注你的一举一动
-用卑鄙的熔岩陷阱和造成巨大洪水的水诅咒来恶作剧

无论你是《我的世界》的超级粉丝还是新手，在学习编程基础知识的同时，你都会以一种全新的视角看待《我的世界》。当然，你可以花一整天的时间开采宝贵的资源或手工建造你的豪宅，但有了Python的强大功能，那些日子已经过去了！
