The MagPi essentials: hacking and making in Minecraft
This resource uses the version of Minecraft that comes pre-installed within the Raspbian operating system for the Raspberry Pi. As such a Raspberry Pi is required to use this e-book. Minecraft: Pi Edition comes with a powerful Application Programming Interface (API), which allows students to hack and make entire virtual worlds with a few simple lines of Python code. Python which is a text based language and as such would be better suited for upper KS2 class or for use within a computing club. In this book the students will learn how to do code differing scripts including controlling things in the real world using the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins, make their own mini games and learn to hack and make with Minecraft.
