With only a few lines of code, grant yourself the magical power to teleport wherever you shoot your arrow.
Make your spells dynamic - by typing in a new spell name in chat, cause different python code to be active!
Observe this example, which grants your bow/arrow the power to teleport, or explode into a pool of lava, and is toggled by you typing the name of the spell in Minecraft chat!
import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft
import time
mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create(address="127.0.0.1", name="stevetest")
active_spell = "teleport"
while True:
for blockhit in mc.player.pollProjectileHits():
if active_spell == "teleport":
mc.player.setPos(blockhit.pos.x, blockhit.pos.y, blockhit.pos.z)
elif active_spell == "lavapool":
lava_block_id = 10
mc.setBlocks(blockhit.pos.x+4, blockhit.pos.y-1, blockhit.pos.z+4,
blockhit.pos.x-4, blockhit.pos.y-1, blockhit.pos.z-4,
lava_block_id)
for chatpost in mc.player.pollChatPosts():
if chatpost.message.lower() == "lavapool":
active_spell = "lavapool"
elif chatpost.message.lower() == "teleport":
active_spell = "teleport"
