You can never have too much Minecraft hacking on a Pi. This is a universal constant 🙂

Seriously, though, one of the main things we’ve learnt from the recent Cambridge Raspberry Jam is that Minecraft is incredibly popular. We sold out a 20-person workshop in an hour, put another one on as well, and that sold out almost as quickly. We ended up with a waiting list long enough to run another one.

So, in case you didn’t already know how to do it, Matt Hawkins has written a brief tutorial on how to set-up Minecraft for use in programming on the Pi.

If you’d like more information about Minecraft Pi Edition, visit Craig Richardson’s blog or alternatively buy Carrie Anne Philbin’s book which contains a Minecraft chapter. (If you haven’t got the book, this gives you an ideal excuse!)
