Python in Minecraft

I wanted to code Python stuff in Minecraft, so added a Python Block and movable Python Hand which can be programmed with Python. The code may be edited in-game using standard writeable books, which suck, so I also created an extended book which provides more space, cursor and mouse control, syntax checking and some other features.

What you can do

Once you've created a Python Block or Hand you can write some Python code in a Writeable Book (or the superior Python Code Book), right click it on a the Python Hand or Block and have that code be run.

If you want to delay the running of your code you can put all the code in a run() function. That function will then be run only when you right click the hand or block. Wands execute code in a book held in your off hand.

Also, Python Blocks may have other events that they handle:

Redstone Power: If you define a powerOn() or powerOff() function these will be called when the block receives, or loses redstone power (eg from redstone wiring, or just a button placed on the block.)
Time Passsing: If you define a tick() function this will be called about 20 times per second.

Recipes

Python Wands are used to create Python Code Books and interact with Python Blocks and Python Hands:

Python Blocks sit in the world and can do stuff:

Python Hands can move around in the world and can do stuff.

Python Code Book is a superior editable book that will also check your Python code for syntax errors:
