Raspberry Pi Minecraft python api observations

playing with the mincraft-pi and python.

the addition of the api allows you to build structures using blocks that are not usually allowed:

a few fun items I found after a few calls ...


  • lava flows down to the ground if a block of lava placed in air;  you end up with a glowing tower of lava
  • lava turns to stone if you drop lava into water, or if water is dropped onto lava
  • water flows like jello, if you try to create structures above ground of water blocks, they will flow down and ooze.
  • water flows faster than lava; you can drop lava on top of a hill, then later drop water...


[inserting screen shots here, simple shots seem problematic, using phone camera]





result of loop to place an instance of all blocks; the lava and water flow over the side
did place a solid block below, as physics will cause some blocks to fall out of the sky (SAND,GRAVEL)


some geek math ... exploring the lower section of a Mandelbrot set
