minecraft-python 132328

A project that seeks to recreate every old Minecraft version in Python using Pyglet and Cython.

Minecraft: Python Edition

Minecraft: Python Edition is a project that strives to recreate each and every old Minecraft version in Python using the Pyglet multimedia library and Cython for performance.

This project is currently recreating the Preclassic versions of Minecraft. The latest version is Preclassic rd-132328 as released on May 13, 2009.

General Usage

Pyglet and Cython are required dependencies and can easily be installed with pip. Use the versions specified in requirements.txt.

To easily install this version of Minecraft: Python Edition, just run python -m pip install minecraft-python==132328.

Alternatively, for a manual Cython build, run python setup.py build_ext --inplace.

Run python -m mc.net.minecraft.Minecraft to launch the game. Minecraft: Python Edition should be compatible with any modern platform that supports OpenGL and Cython.

Gameplay

Very basic block picking and placing are featured in this version. You can only place stone tiles, except at exact ground level where it is only grass.

Human mobs are featured in this version, but they are all spawned at game start as opposed to on key press.

Press Esc to exit the game.

Additional Notes

The resources directory contains all of the textures that this version uses. However, they are only there for convenience, as all of the texture buffers are already preloaded in the net.Resources module.

This would have been much more challenging to work on without the great tools provided by RetroMCP-Java.
