Minecraft Forge plugin to replicate the Minecraft Pi API

mcpiapi's Issues

block translation?

Here's a dilemma for your and my mods. Do we translate between Minecraft PI block IDs and Minecraft Desktop block IDs or not? The differences are occasional but real. See:
http://www.minecraftinfo.com/idlist.htm
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Data_values_%28Pocket_Edition%29
For instance, podzol is very differently implemented: a separate block in PE and a subtype of dirt in Desktop.

When I started writing my mod, I started by translating, though I didn't take the translation to the level of the meta values. On the other hand, Raspberry Juice doesn't translate. Since our API is anyway more similar to Raspberry Juice than to PI (neither of us has implemented camera controls, for instance), it makes sense to be more like Juice by default, I think. What do you think?

When running a code: "[Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] Could not start python: […] "

Happily raised this error today when first trying the mod out by typping "/python test"

[Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] Could not start python: Cannot run program "python" (in directory "[…]\minecraft\mcpimods\python"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

I guessed it was because I didn't have Python added to the PATH. So I typed "setx PATH C:\Python34" in a terminal.

I haven't rebooted Minecraft yet but I'll update this issue as soon as I can to tell you if it fixed the issue. Hoping this will fix it but some newbies might not understand the error and know what to do to fix it, so there ya go.

Search path?

This is based on the code rather than actually trying your mod, but it doesn't look to me like you search the system path for the python executable. On my Windows system, ProcessBuilder when given a list of arguments (as your code looks to me to do) just directly executes the binary, without invoking a shell or searching the path, and so you can expect it to fail unless python.exe is in the current directory.

In my Raspberry Jam Mod, to which I just added a python command inspired by yours, I search for the script processor in ScriptExternalCommand.getScriptProcessorPath():
https://github.com/arpruss/raspberryjammod/blob/master/src/main/java/mobi/omegacentauri/raspberryjammod/ScriptExternalCommand.java

Is this project now dead?

This project seems to be dead. There weren't any commits in 5 years, and last supported Minecraft version seems to be 1.7.10, which is very old.

Are there any plans to resume development? What would need to be done to support Minecraft 1.15 and 1.16?

Stopping a process?

Hi! Is there anyway to stop or kill a process that is running inside a "while(TRUE)" loop? Thanks!!

events.block.hits should only trigger on sword hits

Another thing is that it looks to me (I could be wrong) like your implementation of events.block.hits() returns all block hits, while according to the API as documented on stuffaboutcode and according to the Raspberry Juice source code, only sword hits should count.

I've added an events.setting(restrict_to_sword,x) option, default true, to control this, when it's true I check for sword wielding using:

private boolean holdingSword() { 
  ItemStack item = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.getHeldItem(); 
  if (item != null) {
    String name = item.getUnlocalizedName();
    if (name != null)
      return name.contains("item.sword");
  } 
  return false;
} 

Contribs

Is there any way to contribute bits of python that do things? Or is that something you leave to the rasberryjam mod git end of things?
(Thanks for the work! Awesome tool to get kids in to coding, and awesome tool to amuse "older kids" with as well.)

show output from /python

I think it would be nice if the output from /python scripts were shown in the chat.
In my raspberry jam mod, I put stdout directly into chat (as a ChatComponentText) and I put stderr into chat with a prefixed "[ERR]".

added getBlocks

Hello,

I coded up a getBlocks command for the WorldCommandHalndler - can I email it to you, or commit it here?
