draw_text v1

Script for drawing screen-aligned text.

Customizations of the rendered text include:

  • position (x, y)
  • color (24-bit hex string, e.g.0xaabbcc)
  • scale (default = 4)

Requires:

  • minescript v4.0
  • lib_java v2

Usage as standalone script:

draw_text TEXT [X Y [HEX_COLOR [SCALE]]]

Examples as commands:

draw_text "some text"
draw_text "Hello, world!" 10 10
draw_text "green text" 360 10 0x00ff00
draw_text "hello yellow" 190 100 0xffff00
draw_text "big red" 200 100 0xff0000 32

Example as imported library:

from draw_text import (draw_string, draw_centered_string)
import time
text = draw_string("some white text", x=20, y=20, color=0xffffff, scale=4)
time.sleep(5)
text.x.set_value(25)  # Move text to the right.
time.sleep(1)
text.y.set_value(25)  # Move text down.
time.sleep(1)
text.color.set_value(0xff0000)  # Change text color to red.
text.string.set_value("now it's red")  # Change text string.
time.sleep(2)
interpreter v2

A Python REPL interpreter in the Minecraft chat with
Java reflection.

If a file is found in any of the directories of the config
variable command_path from config.txt with the filename
.interpreter_init.py, that script is loaded during startup
of the interpreter.

When the interpreter launches, the prompt “>>>” appears
in the Minecraft chat. Enter Python statements or expressions
just as you would in a Python REPL in a terminal.

Put the interpreter in the background by hitting the escape
key or deleting the “>>>” prompt to enter a Minecraft command,
chat message, or Minescript command.

Bring the interpreter to the foreground by pressing “i” while
no GUI screens are visible.

Exit the interpreter by typing “.” at the “>>>” prompt.

Requires:

  • minescript v4.0
  • lib_java v2

Usage:

  interpreter
lib_java v2

Library for using Java reflection from Python, wrapping
the low-level Java API script functions (java_*).

Requires:

  • minescript v4.0

Example:

from minescript import (echo, version_info)
from lib_java import (
  JavaClass, java_class_map, java_member_map)

# If using a version of Minecraft with obfuscated
# symbols, populate these dictionaries with the
# appropriate mappings, for example:
mc_class_name = version_info().minecraft_class_name
if mc_class_name == "net.minecraft.class_310":
  java_class_map.update({
    "net.minecraft.client.Minecraft": "net.minecraft.class_310",
  })
  java_member_map.update({
    "getInstance": "method_1551",
    "getFps": "method_47599",
  })

Minecraft = JavaClass("net.minecraft.client.Minecraft")
minecraft = Minecraft.getInstance()
echo("fps:", minecraft.getFps())
sphere v2

Builds the surface of a sphere out of blocks.

 

Requirements

Minescript v3.1
command execution: /setblock, /fill

 

Usage

\sphere X Y Z RADIUS BLOCK_TYPE

Builds the surface of a sphere centered at location (X, Y, Z) with radius RADIUS made of BLOCK_TYPE.

 

Version 2 is significantly faster than version 1 due to the use of
BlockPacker and
BlockPack which were introduced in Minescript v3.1.

 

Example
Creates a sphere centered at the current player with radius 20 made of yellow concrete:

\sphere ~ ~ ~ 20 yellow_concrete

chatbot v1

Get responses from an AI chatbot that’s aware of your Minecraft surroundings.

 

Requirements

Minescript v3.1 or higher
lib_nbt v1 or higher
OpenAI API key (run chatbot and follow instructions for setting up your key)

 

Usage

Prompt chatbot to get a single response and exit:

\chatbot PROMPT

 

Run chatbot in “interactive mode” in the background and have it respond to messages that match the regular expression PATTERN, with options to ignore upper/lower case and give the chatbot a name:

\chatbot -i PATTERN [ignorecase] [name=NAME]

 

In interactive mode, chatbot output is prefixed with >>> and the bot can be stopped by entering quitbot into the chat.

 

Examples

Ask chatbot a question and get a single response:

\chatbot "What am I looking at? And how long until sunrise?"

 

Run chatbot interactively, responding to chat messages that include the phrase “bot,” with any combination of upper/lower case:

\chatbot -i ".*\bbot,\s" ignorecase

image_to_blocks v1

Places blocks in creative mode based on the specified PNG image.

 

Requirements

Minescript v3.1 or higher
pypng (run: pip install pypng or pip3 install pypng)

 

Usage

\image_to_blocks <x> <y> <z> <imagePngFile> \
    [<depthPngFile> [dscale=<depthScale>]] <orientation>

\image_to_blocks <x> <y> <z> <imageSpecJsonFile> \
    [<imagePngFile>] [<depthPngFile> [dscale=<depthScale>]] \
    [<orientation>]

 

Loads the image at imagePngFile and sets blocks for each
pixel in the image. If depthPngFile is specified, its width and
height must match those of imagePngFile, and must be
greyscale-only format.

 

depthScale is an optional factor by which to divide
depth-image values. For example, a value of dscale=25.5
would map a depth-image value of 255 (where 0 is black and
255 is white) to 10.

 

orientation must be a comma-delimited string of world
dimensions with optional +/- sign. 2D example: x,-y maps
image x (first dimension) to world x and image y (second
dimension) to world -y; 3D example: x,-z,y maps image x (first
dimension) to world x, image y (second dimension) to world -z,
and image depth (third dimension) to world y.

 

imageSpecJsonFile can be used as a convenient way to
package a specification for converting an image to blocks.
The filename must end in “.json” and must contain a JSON
object with optional fields: orientation, color_map,
depth_map, depth_scale, and palette. The orientation
field is formatted like the orientation param (see above). The
color_map and depth_map fields refer to PNG filenames.
The depth_scale field is a positive float in the range [0, 255]
for scaling down depth values. The palette field must be an
array of JSON objects with fields min_alpha (int in range [0,
255]) and blocks; blocks fields may be RGB values encoded
as strings with a leading #, e.g. #15b215, and values are
types of blocks, e.g. green_wool or
oak_leaves[persistent=true]. Params passed to the
image_to_blocks command override corresponding entries
in the JSON file.

blocks_to_image v1

Create a PNG image file and depth map from the top-down view of a volume of blocks.

 

Requirements

Minescript v3.1 or higher
lib_blockpack_parser v1 or higher
pypng (run: pip install pypng or pip3 install pypng)

 

Usage

\blocks_to_image X1 Y1 Z1 X2 Y2 Z2 LABEL [dscale=DSCALE]

 

Generates a 2D image in X and Z corresponding to the
top-down view of the volume of blocks from (X1, Y1, Z1) to (X2,
Y2, Z2). The generated image is named <LABEL>.png, along
with a depth map at <LABEL>-depth.png and a metadata file
<LABEL>.json containing a palette that reflects the mapping
between RGB color values and block types.

 

If dscale is provided, depth values in Y are scaled by <DSCALE>.

 

Note: Unique colors are chosen randomly for each block type. In a future version, colors should be chosen to resemble the block color.
