Extension for Minecraft control

arpruss

I made a 3.0 extension for controlling stuff in Minecraft 1.12 (using RaspberryJamMod on the Minecraft side). You can move the player, get player position, draw with blocks (including turtle-based graphics), etc.

Can You Make A Minecraft Education Edition Version?

It could be done. Part of the API is public here: https://education.minecraft.net/wp-content/uploads/Code_Connection_API.pdf
It looks like the setup is clunky: there is a web server communicating over HTTP with the controlling program and with Minecraft over websockets. It would be good to reverse engineer the websocket part of the protocol, and use that directly for efficiency.

However, Minecraft has their own block-programming system, so it's probably kind of moot. And I don't have a license for MC Education Version.

This is really cool! I just wanted to point out Minecraft Edu Edition has its own block language with the Agent

It would also require running a separate bridge program on the computer, because both Minecraft Bedrock or Edu is a Web Socket client and so is the web browser, and two clients can't connect to each other.

Nice work! can you modify so it can work in java 1.16 demo? Then i can try it.

nice work

We have a Minecraft Edu extension for Scratch 3.0 at CodeSkool. Video here: https://youtu.be/JEpbP4_W8YA. This does not require the Java connector, it uses the Websockets API, so I believe would work for the Java edition also. However I had just tested with the Minecraft edu.

Very cool to see such use of scratch!
