Minecraft Pi
Minecraft on the Raspberry Pi
Minecraft: Pi Edition is a version of Minecraft that’s
designed to work on the Raspberry Pi.
Based on the “Pocket Edition”, Minecraft Pi
is smaller and faster as well as containing
support for multiple programming
languages. Minecraft Pi runs on the
Raspbian Operating System for the PI. This
is the most common operating system
used on the Pi. To get started, head over to
s3.amazonaws.com.assets.minecraft.net/
pi/minecraft-pi-0.1.1.tar.gz
to download
the package. Once that is finished,
open a new terminal window or click on
“LX Terminal” icon on the desktop.
To decompress your freshly
downloaded package type:
tar –zxvf minecraft-pi-0.1.1.tar.gz
To start it:
Type cd mcpi
Then:
./minecraft-pi
At this point you can play Minecraft as
a single user or over a network. What
is really exciting is what comes next
which is programming Minecraft to
perform certain functions for you.
