Hah, this is great.
Way back when I played minecraft, we used a mod called OpenComputers, which was basically a lua-based terminal inside minecraft. It had a package manager, python, and pastebin for managing code. It was really neat! Still think it's funny that it was Java -> Lua -> Python.
Ended up using that to "3d print" objects to make png murals using a python backend, some jad/sed/awk/grep, lua, and a python "frontend". The 3d printer allowed specifying color, but since you could also specify colors by x/y/z coords of other blocks, I decided to constrain the project to color definitions that way. Because masochism, probably. Wasn't easy, since block definitions were sometimes in java, hence jad. By FAR the jankiest project I've ever worked on, but damn did I learn a lot along the way, including some machine learning basics.
