you can create your first Minecraft program:
1. Download and install Minecraft: Pi Edition—this is a special version of Minecraft
just for the Raspberry Pi.
2. Download and extract the starter kit for Raspberry Pi. This contains everything
you need to complete Adventures in Minecraft in a folder called MyAdventures;
this is where you will also save your Minecraft programs.

The Raspberry Pi's graphical user interface (GUI), known as x windows, is used
throughout Adventures in Minecraft . The GUI is installed on Raspbian, but depending
on how you have set up your Raspberry Pi, it may not load the GUI when it boots up.
You may instead start with a login and command prompt.
If your Raspberry Pi is set up to start at a command prompt, you will need to login then
type startx and press Enter to load the GUI when the command prompt appears.
