Adventure 7
Building 2D and 3D
Structures
ONE OF THE great things about programming in Minecraft is that as well as looking
at your creations on a 2D screen you can actually bring them to life in a virtual 3D
world. You can walk around them, go inside them, make them bigger—even blow them
up if you like! By using the ideas originally created to display 3D objects on a 2D screen,
you can code 3D objects in Minecraft, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
In this adventure you will learn how to use the minecraftstuff module to create
2D lines and shapes which when combined with a little maths will allow you to pro-
gram a clock so big you can stand on its hands as they go round (see Figure 7-1). Once
you have mastered creating 2D shapes, you will then learn how to combine them
together to create enormous 3D structures in seconds.
