Maker Kit Minecraft

Programming projects with the Raspberry Pi

+ Create your own world with the Raspberry Pi
+ Gain Python programming knowledge in a fun way
+ Control electronic equipment with MinecraftT

MinecraftT is one of the world's most popular computer games. The open 3D game world in which anybody can build landscapes from cube-shaped blocks and fulfill his own dreams has captivated more than 100 million of players so far.

Besides the well-known versions for PC, iOS and other systems, MinecraftT is also available for the widely-used mini computer Raspberry Pi. This version offers one big advantage: With the help of an open programming interface, plugins can be created in the Python programming language which has been pre-installed on the Raspberry Pi. And the MinecraftT world can also be modified via external hardware. For example, LEDs can be controlled via the game character Steve, and blocks in the game world can be illuminated using sensor contacts made of modelling clay.

The Franzis Maker Kit includes 14 programming projects for MinecraftT on the Raspberry Pi, many of them with hardware control. All necessary components are included in the pack. The programmes run both on the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 with the current version of the Raspbian operating system. A comprehensive manual with numerous colour illustrations provides detailed step-by-step instructions - there are no limits to either the programming experience or the gaming fun!
