Minecraft python api - where is left mouse button

[superbilder]

Hi

 

I am newbie to minecraft and python and I am trying to play with python api to minecraft looking at https://www.nostarch.com/programwithminecraft .

I use spigot 1.9.4 comming from https://sourceforge.net/projects/python-with-minecraft-windows/

 

I see how to build blocks

mc = Minecraft.create()

mc.setBlock(x, y, z, blockType)

but I cannot find how to destroy blocks.

 

• Is destroying blocks, or attacking mobs with sword possible with python api ?
  
• How can I call left mouse button with minecraft python api ?
  
• Is it possible to simulate mouse buttons with python api at all ?
  
• 
  BTW, can I recognize mobs, zombie or animals with python api ? Can I attack mobs, zombie or animals with python api?
  

 

Regards

I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think anyone on this forum has used that before, so nobody will be able to help you on this forum. Also, this isn't anything Forge related, so we can't help either.

 

If you really want to mod Minecraft, preferably using Forge, you should probably learn Java. It's the language Minecraft is written in, and will give you the best modding experience for Minecraft. Some might say another language is better for Minecraft, but for starters, Java will be the easiest.

Thank you lasgerrits.

 

[*]Does Forge with java allow to write AI for a player - I would like to write algorithms simulating (controlling and automating) a player.

[*]Are there api for eg. left mouse button, right mouse button, changing items in inventory, checking which items I have in inventory, checking if there is mob nearby, checking type of mob, checking types of surrounding blocks ?

[*]Does forge apply only to single player, or also to server mode ?

Forge is an API/ML that provides modders with being able to access the Minecraft code and extend upon it.. Yes you can do the things mentioned, however its pretty complicated and I would start with the basics, especially if your new to Java and Forge all together. A great tutorial you could start with is here: https://shadowfacts.net/tutorials/forge-modding-1102/

This is a question asked from such appalling ignorance I wonder if you've even played any mods.

Of course it works with both!

Draco18s you are very shrewd , you unraveled me completely. I haven't played any mods, whats more I dare to say I do not intend (unless I write my own).

[*]

Can client mod play with original server unrecognized by server or it's impossible ?

[*]Does client AI mod playing server mode see whole world, or only this what human player can see? Eg can AI mod see several levels underground (unlike human), or not ?

[*]More generally, would such AI (only on client side) vs human be fair (had the same or less information/possibilities) or not (had more information/possibilities)

[*]How AI can get know of appearing mobs, are there any events sent when mob appears in some distance, or AI would have to check every qube in area of interest

[*]Would it be possible to attack mobs with such AI ?

 

 

Sorry for asking ignorant questions, but I wouldn't like to dive into forge to find out, that it's not a right tool for my purpose.

I have a good knowledge of java. I would like to write simple AI supporting player in some tasks, eg auto mining of materials and putting them into chest - good to dig diamonds for several hours. Why would it be complicated to write such a simple supporting AI ? Is it a problem of forge API not supporting such purpose?
