Need to make it clear that you want the java edition now that Minecraft for Windows is in the same launcher.

• add a switches modue
  • place a switch/lever/pressure plate etc in the world and hook its activation to a python function
• Nice profiles functions in mcwb - elipse, rectangle, others?
• documentation
  • restructure into four quadrant
  • tutorials
    • setup of python/vscode/docker/
    • fundamentals of python (link to beginner course somewhere)
    • basic interaction with the world
    • making .py files
    • functions
      • box
      • pyramid
      • spooky pyramid
      • crazy rollercoaster (to be written)
    • advanced
      • adding sign control to the world
      • switches with functions
      • using monitoring - make spooky pyramid work in background

Hello. We created this to "draw" image from file in Minecraft as a wall:

Would you be interested in a chapter to the doc describing that code?

import PIL.Image
im = PIL.Image.open("cat.png")
im = im.resize((20, 20))

def decide_black_or_white(x):
     if x > 50:
         return 255
     else:
         return 0

im = im.convert('L').point(decide_black_or_white, mode='1')
pixel_map = im.load()

pos = world.player.pos

def draw_pixel(position, x):
    world = get_world()
    if x == 255:
        material = Item.BLACK_CONCRETE
    else:
        material = Item.WHITE_CONCRETE
    world.set_block(position, material)

for row in range(20):
    for column in range(20):
        draw_pixel(pos + Direction.UP * (20 - 1) + Direction.DOWN * row + Direction.SOUTH * column, pixel_map[column, row])

That code needs a bit of work, but something like this worked for us. IIRC the screenshot is from different image, it was 100 x 100.

I would prefer trap most exceptions - e.g.
doing an expand before select gets an error but its non fatal.

TODO: implement an undo buffer. This is kind of important as python commands can really trash a world if you get them wrong.

My idea is this. Before any update to the world, clone the effected region into a safe haven at some distant point in the map.

• support multiple undos
• Stretch goal: devise a way to save the index into the undo locations in a block somewhere. That way undo will still work after exit and re-entering the world

Hello @gilesknap

I'm doing the nether portal build in the loops section. I'm receiving an error that says minecraft:obsidian is not in list. The code works fine when I copy and paste it from the instructions into the terminal, but when I type it in myself, I get the error as shown

In [1]: pos = world.player.pos

In [2]: for x in range(4):
...: # bottom row
...: world.set_block(pos + Direction.EAST * x, Item.OBSIDIAN)
...: # top row
...: world.set_block(pos + Direction.EAST * x, + Direction.UP * 4, Item.OBSIDIAN)
...: for y in range(4):
...: # left side
...: world.set_block(pos + Direction.UP * y, Item.OBSIDIAN)
...: # right side
...: world.set_block(pos + Direction.UP * y + Direction.EAST * 3, Item.OBSIDIAN)
...:
ERROR: ValueError: <Item.OBSIDIAN: 'minecraft:obsidian'> is not in list

Does this all have to be typed into one line in order for it to work?

It appears mciwb is not compatible with rcon 2.1.1. But this is the version of rcon that is installed with python 3.9. I am unable to install the latest version of rcon. Which means, I can't install mciwb. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. First of all, thank you for this great tool! It is a lot of fun playing with it myself and with my kids :-)

I have a problem building doors. Imagine this code:

pos = world.player.pos
world.set_block(pos, Item.STONE)
world.set_block(pos + Direction.UP, Item.STONE)
world.set_block(pos + Direction.WEST * 2, Item.STONE)
world.set_block(pos + Direction.WEST * 2 + Direction.UP, Item.STONE)
world.set_block(pos + Direction.WEST, Item.ACACIA_DOOR)

But the result looks like this:

We have tried multiple ways, but were unsuccessful. Is it possible to build complete doors?

The action signs don’t have the action written on the sign - so when placing one it pops up a screen where you can then type in “select” for example. The function does work but in the demo video it seems the action command is already written on the sign so placing it is much quicker because it doesn’t require typing each time… Bug 🐞 or feature? 😄

Provide a function to save the current paste selection to file (TODO need a better name for paste selection)

Also provide a load from file to indicated position.

Hello. I'm trying to learn python with Minecraft using MCIWB.

For context, I'm using Docker, VSCode, Python 3.10.6, and iPython 8.11.0

When I typed in world.player.pos, I get the following error:

I've tried researching the problem, but have had no luck in terms of finding a solution. Is there a way to resolve this?

• Monitor.stop_all()
• world.add_player("TransformerScorn")
• no errors but sign monitoring is not restored

can this command be used to make sign monitoring more efficient?

If so monitor a wider range for signs ...

Maybe keep Iwb as the root class for setting things up and then have properties which are objects for various groups of functions.

e.g. we already have self.copier.

I do want to wrap up the common Client and mcwb commands so that we can provide a simpler interface. Just need to decide on the grouping.

Hello @gilesknap

I am following along with the Backup and Restore instructions and I have a question. For the part after (.venv), are we using the username info before the @ sign? I tried a variety of ways, but I keep getting a syntax error.

1. useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML:~/my_world$ (.venv) [useradd@ws1 mciwb]$ ls $HOME/mciwb-backups
   bash: syntax error near unexpected token `[useradd@ws1'

2. useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML:~/my_world$ (.venv) [ahUn1t$@ws1 mciwb]$ mciwb restore my-first-backup
   bash: syntax error near unexpected token `[ahUn1t$@ws1'

3. useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML:~/my_world$ (.venv) [useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML mciwb]$ ls $HOME/mciwb-bqckups
   bash: syntax error near unexpected token `[useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML'

@jhutar reports that this fails with ERROR: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'pos').
