We are pleased to share the latest version of ComputerCraftEdu. In fact, we are ready to officially call this our BETA!Intro:ComputerCraftEdu is a new way to teach computational thinking to Minecraft players that are new to coding. They will use a tile-based interface to learn the fundamentals of programming languages in a fun, accessible environment. The most significant features are robotic turtles that can be easily programmed to do whatever you want. Learners will hopefully be engaged and motivated to find ways to use turtles to automate and extend their usual Minecraft activities. And while most of the programming is done graphically, players are able to see and interact with the actual code (LUA scripting). We believe this process will serve as a springboard for learners towards using real programming languages to solve problems, make games, and improve their worlds!
Download:ComputerCraftEdu version 1.631pr9 - requires MinecraftEdu version 1.6.4 development build 20 (or higher) OR a Forge 1.6.4 installation of original Minecraft.
There are still a number of bugs and unfinished features, so expect some glitches. But the core functionality is all there. And feel free to offer suggestions.
- MinecraftEdu users can use the Mods button on the launcher to import this mod. (should be added as an online mod soon!).
- To install manually, place the .jar file in these locations
- /minecraftedu/minecraft/mods
- /minecraftedu/servertool/server/mods
- Make sure to delete previous versions of ComputerCraft or CCEdu, and any config files.
Instructions:You can watch an introductory video with basic instructions and lots of examples here:And if you'd like to play with, experiment on, or improve the world I used in the video, feel free:
- Beginner's Turtles
- use dyes to change colors
- name them with name tags
- manual movement controls (minimize the turtle window!)
- Program Disks
- insert into a turle to create/edit a program
- can be copied by crafting with a blank disk
- Turtle Remotes
- shift-click while holding the remote to bind to a turtle
- Visual Programming Interface
- Design/Code views
- movement commands
- digging/building
- comparing and counting
- redstone interaction
- Conditionals and Loops
- Variables
- error checking and suggestions
- keyboard editing controls
- More!

Joel, I've got a big idea the next stages of CCEdu that I think could work really well for transitioning from icons to code. You know how to contact me, but if this is going back on the table I'd love to get in on the discussions.

Joel, is there a projected date that CCEdu will be ready for 1.7? I would like to run a minecraft class in March based on a few mods (CCEdu, glacticraft, and maybe MyTown) and am wondering if I should downgrade to 1.6 or not.Thanks!

There is a good chance we can get you a stable 1.7.10 version in the next couple of weeks. Personally, I would feel comfortable using it in class. But ultimately, it will still be a test version. We are anticipating that the next major stable version will be available mid-April.Up to you what you are comfortable with.~Joel
