About

This project allows you to interact with a Minecraft-like environment using Python. You can create blocks, build structures, and implement logic or automation via scripts. Depending on your setup, it may use a game engine (e.g., Ursina), or connect to a running Minecraft server or modded environment.

---

Features

• Programmatically place, remove, and modify blocks
• Simple world generation (flat, random, or custom)
• Player-like control (or AI) for exploring / building
• Scriptable building — write Python scripts to automate constructions
• (Optional) Real-time integration with a Minecraft server / mod

---

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Any game engine or library you're using (e.g., ursina)
• (If applicable) A running Minecraft server or a mod that supports scripting

Installation

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/MattCollingwood/Python-Minecraft.git
   cd Python-Minecraft```
   

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

python3 -m venv venv  
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: `venv\Scripts\activate`

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Depending on how your project is built, usage will vary. Here are some common patterns: Run the main script:

python main.py

Execute a building script:

python scripts/build_house.py

Interact with the world: Use the provided Python API to place / remove blocks, move an entity, or run procedural generation code.

Controls / API

If you have user controls (keyboard / mouse), document them here. For example:

Control	Action
W, A, S, D	Move forward, left, back, right
Mouse	Look around / rotate camera
Left Click	Place block
Right Click	Remove block
