So in investigating programing minecraft with Python I discovered several things.
- The python extensions don't seem to understand the concept of worlds. So doing anything in a Multiverse based world doesn't work out.
- The python extension doesn't seem to pass on who is running the program to the MC server (to be fair this seems to happen in Scriptcraft as well). So my idea of running a PlotMe based creative world and only having the kids run programs on their plots won't fly.
- The gent over at ARGHBOX, seems to have made his blog private. (Update : It's back now, but it was private for several days and I was worried it wouldn't come back as a resource)
With all that going on, I started to revise my ideas for my class, and stumbled upon ScriptCraft. It seemed well developed and active. Plus it already had a beginners guide - The Young Person's Guide to Programming in Minecraft, and a google discussion group.
So after a bit of reading, I think this is a better, more developed way to go.
