How to Code in Minecraft

by Jim Christian, Tim Danton (Editor)

This guide includes everything you need to know to start coding in Minecraft, and I promise you a gripping adventure! You can plan, create and publish an app in a couple of hours using nothing more than a web browser. There is very little that can limit our technological creativity, bar these coding skills that everyone is going on about. Learning these skills through Minecraft makes it fun and easy to understand. The projects in this book build upon one another, helping you strengthen concepts from exercise to exercise. You will learn how to run your own server, link Minecraft to Scratch and Python to create 3D shapes and mini-games, then install a mod pack to program computers using Lua! Three different programming languages, one game so many possibilities!

A good Minecraft programming tutorial. Covers Scratch, Python and ComputerCraft, and particularly the ComputerCraft part is really interesting and useful. It'll give you plenty of ideas what to do and where to move on from this book - learning the ComputerCraft APIs is the perfect next step from here.
