This looks great for more experienced programmers. If you're working with younger kids, using Minecraft as a way to introduce programming, here are some good options: * Minecraft Pi - code and run Minecraft mods in Python (https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/getting-started-with-minecraft-pi/ https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/getting-started-with-mi...). If not running on a Raspberry Pi, you can use Raspberry Juice (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/raspberryjuice/ http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/raspberryjuice/) which implements most of the Minecraft Pi API. * Scriptcraft (http://scriptcraftjs.org/ http://scriptcraftjs.org/) - create mods using Javascript. * LearnToMod (http://www.learntomod.com/ http://www.learntomod.com/) - commercial service that allows modding using a visual language (I think they use Blockly which is similar to Scratch).

Why on earth would you get raspberry pi into the mix with Minecraft modding? Python for mods seems great, but that's just using extra hardware for the sake of it.

  With the said RaspberryJuice you don't need to have a Raspberry Pi. I wrote a RaspberryJuice+Python command server so you can have run python functions inside minecraft. [0] [0] https://github.com/wensheng/JuicyRaspberryPie https://github.com/wensheng/JuicyRaspberryPie

  Because the Pi version of minecraft has an api http://wiki.vg/Minecraft_Pi_Protocol http://wiki.vg/Minecraft_Pi_Protocol Also if you have younger kids check out https://github.com/scratch2mcpi/scratch2mcpi https://github.com/scratch2mcpi/scratch2mcpi run a scratch extension on your pc and place blocks in minecraft on the Pi. It goes down well at our local coderdojo.

    The scratch2mcpi sounds great. I mentor at a local coderdojo as well.
