Minecraft Pi Edition

2022-05-08 raspi

Minecraft is no longer available as RaspberryPiOS default package. Instead, you can download an AppImage from the repository.

https://github.com/MCPI-Revival/minecraft-pi-reborn

View Documentation -> View Installation -> Click link on "Download Packages here".

Choose armhf for RaspberryPi. After finishing download, run the image like the below.

chmod +x minecraft-pi-reborn-client-2.3.9-armhf.AppImage
./minecraft-pi-reborn-client-2.3.9-armhf.AppImage

You can also control the world via Python code. 

pip3 install mcpi

Here's an example.

from mcpi import minecraft 
mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create()
mc.postToChat("Hello")
x, y, z = mc.player.getPos()
mc.player.setPos(x,y+100,z)
