- Download the setup files and double-click on the “Install_API”
windows bat file, their systems should be set up with the correct Python libraries
needed to use the API. - Double-click on the “Start_Server”
file to start their API server, and connect to that server through the
Minecraft “multiplayer” option. - Once they have connected to their specialized API server, they can
interact with the Minecraft Python API by simply running a Python
program of their choice that uses this API. They can then do all
sorts of things, from adding new blocks to the world to automatically
teleporting the player from time to time
Note: there are still some bugs with Minecraft 1.9 on
Windows 10), earlier systems such as Windows 7-8 should be fine
