How to Download a Minecraft Map: This Instructable will teach you how to download a minecraft map or world download. In my last couple Instructables I had a world download and thought it would be good to have an Instructable on how to downl. Python is one of the most powerful and popular dynamic languages in use today.

One important thing about the launcher, it will serve as a communication between you and us so that you can see new updates to the game and send us bug reports. You can download the launcher source code from here. The launcher can change over time and even extraordinarily. Now we do our recursive tree function.

The basic idea behind this is that a branch is just a smaller tree. So we make a function that takes a counter and a branch length. The counter specifies how many iterations the tree will go. First, the code checks if our counter has run down to zero. If so, we don't have anything to draw. Then we draw a trunk. Then we draw four branches sticking out of it with a simple loop. To design this bit of code, I just imagine myself as the turtle, having just moved up along the trunk.

To draw a branch, I tilt my self up by 30 degrees i. I think tilt myself back down by 30 degrees. I rotate myself by 90 degrees and repeat the exercise. Finally, once I'm done with the branches, I go back down the trunk. Finally, I just need to invoke this code. I will make a tree with a counter of 6 and an initial branch length of And for good measure, I'l make it out of wood, and of course vertically upward:. This fractal tree doesn't look very realistic. We should make the trunk thick and the branches get thinner and thinner as they go outward say, get half as thick, until they reach a single block , and we should switch from WOOD to LEAVES blocks as we go out.

But most of all, real trees aren't that regular. We need some randomness. I implemented all of these in my fancytree. The resulting tree looks surprisingly realistic for something produced by such a relatively simple piece of code. And each time you run the script, you get something different. Another useful feature of the turtle drawing class is being able to draw not just lines but polygonal surfaces. To do this, just do t.

Once you're in face mode, each time you draw a line, the code actually draws a triangle: one vertex is the point the turtle was when t. This draws a pentagon tilted on its side by 45 degrees:. Draw a triangle. Now take each line of the triangle and replace it by a line with a triangular bump on it. Like on the animated image public domain, based on Wikipedia , you get a Koch snowflake. This can be modeled by a super-simple turtle-graphics program.

Then the initial triangle can be drawn by:. So here's how we can generate a snowflake. Each F in it represents a line. If we keep on going, we generate the Koch snowflake. This is a simple example of an L-system. We apply this a bunch of times and we get a rather complicated string. For instance, after two iterations in the snowflake case, we get:. After four, we get the image above. To really get a fractal, the lines should shrink with each iteration, but that won't work in Minecraft.

There is a lot of really good information in this free PDF book. I wrote a very simple lsystem. To implement the snowflake, start with boilerplate:. Finally we need to tell the system what each of the symbols in the strings mean. For different L-systems, we will assign different meanings to them rotations by different angles, for instance. So we need a second python dictionary specifying what is done for each symbol. If you don't specify an action for a symbol, the symbol is ignored when it is time for the turtle to draw the output but it might be important for the generation.

The meanings are given by a dictionary that specifies a function to call for each symbol. One-line functions can be specified with the lambda operator.

In this case, all the functions are one-liners:. There is one special trick for some L-systems. These L-systems are grid-aligned, with all the rotations being 90 degrees. The square curve squarecurve. The trick is to call, somewhere near the beginning of your code:.

This moves your turtle to an integer grid location, and aligns its heading to a grid direction. After this, the turtle will remain exactly grid aligned provided that you move it only by integer amounts e.

The dragon curve code also gives an example of a forward function that is a bit more complicated--instead of just a line, it draws a wall with an opening in it.

Actually, calling gridalign can sometimes be a good idea even if not all of your angles are right angles. You will probably get some round-off problems in a large image, but it can still look better.

See the spacefilling curve example rendered in purple stained glass! L-systems don't have to be two-dimensional. You can include symbols that do yaw, pitch and roll rotations. For designing trees, a useful trick is to have stack commands: '[' to save the current drawing state to a stack and ']' to restore it. This will use the turtle module's push and pop methods.

For instance, here's a snippet of code for drawing a simple tree ltree. Think of the L as a leaf though this simple code doesn't actually draw the leaf--that would need to be added to the dictionary. We start with FL , which is a trunk plus a leaf. This is a set of three branches, each tilted by 20 degrees from the trunk, degrees apart.

This repeats, so that the leaves on the branches are replaced by triples of branches, and so on. A more realistic tree could have more complex code for '['. It could make the succeeding branches shorter and thinner, and change their material as we get closer to the leaves and then restore on ']'. I include such a tree as the demo code in lsystem. You can also do grid-aligned 3D things. For instance, hilbert. Finally, you might want to introduce some randomization into the L-system rules.

So far our rules were deterministic: a single string was given that replaces a symbol, e. But instead of a simple replacement string, one can give a Python list of pairs p,string , where p is a probability from 0 to 1 and string is the string to use with that probability. The probabilities for a given source symbol had better not add up to more than 1, but they can add up to less than one--in that case, there is a chance that there will be no replacement.

For instance, here's a slightly randomized version of geeky. This isn't very random--more randomness would make things even more lifelike. I attach a screenshot of a fairly sparse forest randomly generated using this rule and random placement of trees, subject to a minimum distance. This initializes the Minecraft connection and brings math and block names into the namespace. Then you have several convenience methods:.

For instance, you can do a rectangle sloped at 45 degrees made of glass at level 0 at the spawn point with:. For fun, I adapted Simon Tatham's really neat polyhedron generation code to use the Minecraft drawing class.

His code starts with a number of random points on a sphere, and then simulates them repelling themselves until they stabilize into a configuration that is often regular. Then he has two neat methods of making a polyhedron out of these points, a face method and a vertex method.

I put this in polyhedron. This script takes commandline arguments.
