\nYou can never have too much Minecraft hacking on a Pi. This is a universal constant \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Seriously, though, one of the main things we’ve learnt from the recent Cambridge Raspberry Jam is that Minecraft is\u00a0incredibly<\/em> 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\u00a0another<\/em> one.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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