ComputerCraft is a Minecraft mod that uses Lua for scripting computers and robots (turtles). This repository contains some work that I've done.
Start a computer and run wget run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asampley/ComputerCraft-Projects/master/bootstrap.lua https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asampley/ComputerCraft-Projects/master/. This will run a bootstrap program that will download a library and executable for fetching programs and their dependencies called werun.
If you run werun bin/routem for example, it will download bin/routem from this repository (if it does not yet exist), as well as replace all calls of require, and loadfile with versions that also download form this repository (if they do not yet exist). To force re-downloading of all files for the program, use werun --update bin/routem.
For single player worlds you can set infinite fule.
%AppData%\.minecraft\saves\<world>\serverconfig\computercraft-server.toml
[turtle]
#Set whether Turtles require fuel to move.
need_fuel = false
Clone the repo anywhere.
If it is a single player world navigate to your world save folder, and look in /computercraft/computer.
- For windows this is in
%appdata%\.minecraft\saves\<world>\
Delete the folder that corresponds to the computer's id in game. (ID: <number>)
Make a symlink to the repo which replaces the deleted folder:
- [Windows] From an administrator cmd prompt:
mklink /D "%appdata%\.minecraft\saves\<world>\computercraft\computer\<ID number>" "<path to ComputerCraft-Projects repo>"
The computer/turtle now has access to your repo in it's filesystem.
Any way you want to do it is fine.
(VS Code has an extension "Live Server" you can use to get one going quickly. Just install, and then in the bottom right, click "Go Live".)
We need to enable the turtle's access to localhost...
If it is a single player world: %AppData%\.minecraft\saves\<world>\serverconfig\computercraft-server.toml
Change deny to allow in
[[http.rules]]
host = "$private"
action = "deny"
wget run http://127.0.0.1:5500/bootstrap.lua http://127.0.0.1:5500/
With this, werun requests will all be sent to the 2nd url.
