Minecraft（官方中文名為“我的世界”）是世界范圍內深受玩家喜愛的一款沙盒式建造游戲。在Minecraft中，我們可以自由搭建，把理想變為現實。Python是一種功能強大且非常適合初學者學習的語言。本書將Minecraft與Python程序結合起來，使用Python更好地控制Minecraft中的項目，比如一秒鐘就搭起一棟房子來。編程是有趣并充滿想象力的一件事，在Minecraft中也一樣。本書可以幫你在Minecraft中制作出各種各樣有趣的內容，這是你成為一個偉大的程序員或Minecraft大師必須邁出的一步。本書包含12章，分別為“設置你的電腦”“使用變量傳送”“利用數學快速搭建和長途旅行”“利用字符串聊天”“通過布爾運算判斷真假”“用if語句做小游戲”“用while循環制作舞會和花卉游行”“函數賜予你超能力”“用表和字典擊打東西”“Minecraft的for循環魔法”“從文件及模塊中保存和讀取建筑”“用面向對象編程將程序變優雅”。本書適合喜愛Minecraft、愿意學習編程的人學習和閱讀。
