This video showcases an afternoon of tinkering with the Bukkit Minecraft server.
Bukkit comes with a Java plugin API which allows you to create your own plugins / commands / tools for use within the game. However, I wanted to see if it was possible to spawn an interpreter giving me direct access to the world in Minecraft, allowing me to programmatically control the game without requiring a "write plugin--compile jar--load in Bukkit"-step and thus allowing more direct access.
After tinkering a bit with Bukkit, and with some help from Jython (a Python implementation in Java), it turns out that, indeed, you can.
I show some example "fun" stuff you can perform in Minecraft using Python. For future work, it would be cool to implement some procedural generation stuff (like complex structures) using this system, or perhaps games (Crush the Castle in Minecraft?).
This was inspired by projects such as Raspberry Pi Minecraft and ScriptCraft.
