Task 1 is testing your file handling

& typing skills on RaspPi.

Step1/ open IDLE.

Step2/ Try to copy the code without

making any mistakes.

Step3/ Save it in

Moving the player with Python.

Step1/ Create a new python script

or change your old one!

Step2/ Save it in

as task2.py

Step3/ Type in the code so that the

script repeatedly -

Waits for a bit.

THEN

Teleports You!

Step4/ Press F5 & return to MC to

play with it.

Task 3 is practising your looping &

introducing 3D cords, vars & if.

Step2/ Test the script by digging.

Step3/ How deep do u have 2 dig?

Change it.

Step4/ How high RU teleported?

Change it.

Step5/ Try to create a Wormhole.

Step6/ Attempt the extension task.

Tip: change xyz.y

to xyz.x

Find the xyz of your

minecraft home.

Task 4 is about using the minecraft

chat window to show python vars.

Step1/ copy the code.

Step2/ Test the script by moving

around on minecraft.

Step3/ What are all the numbers?

(Ext—Can you “format” them?)

if xyz.y>some_number:

Step5/ Use the postToChat method

to send a funny message.

An xyz position to build at

&

A type of block to build.

Change where the blocks appear.

Task 6 introduces us to “for” loops.

Step1/ copy the code.

Step2/ Make the Tower taller then

Ext—Make the tower multicoloured

Step3/ Use a “nested” for loop to

build a wall.

Tip:

for column in range(0,10):

for row in range(0,10):

Build(row,column,10,WOOL)

Ext—Build a Rainbow (hard!)

Task 7 gets you building out

of different materials

Step1/ Read the code.

Step2/ Try to explain to the

person next to you what the

How could we change it to find

out which block is in front of us?
