Installation

Server

While this package is not ready for release as of 7/5/2022, you are welcome to test it!

Prerequisites are:

  • A Raspberry Pi
  • Raspberry Pi OS <=Buster
  • Python >=3.8.0†
  • The mcpi module (installed using sudo pip3.x install mcpi)*
  • The keyboard module (installed using sudo pip3.x install keyboard)*

Once you have all that figured out, you can simply

git clone https://github.com/xboxone08/making_mcpi_real.git --single-branch [local-directory]

With [local-directory] being replaced with the directory you would like to clone it to.

LAN Client

The server can handle all LAN events and functionality but for the LAN chat and (unimplemented) keymapping. LAN Clients must meet the same requirements (except the Python support broadens to 3.x.x)


Footnotes
† Those using the currently default python3 installation of Python 3.7.3 on Raspberry Pi OS should use the "compatibility" branch (git clone https://github.com/xboxone08/making_mcpi_real.git --branch compatibility --single-branch [local-directory])
* "x" should be replaced by the actual version of Python you are using
