Welcome to the world of modded Minecraft: Java Edition! This workshop allows anybody who owns a Minecraft account to try their hand at solving a short series of custom-created puzzles inside of a custom-created modded world focused on puzzles solved using the Computer Craft mod.

These puzzles will involve creating code in the LUA programming language, which is used by the Computer Craft mod in what’s known as an “emulated” fashion. This simply means that while there are some differences, the programs you write is still real LUA code.

Required Things

  1. Your own computer
  2. A Minecraft account, specifically for the JAVA edition of Minecraft.
  3. The Prism Launcher (https://prismlauncher.org/), or similar CurseForge format compatible Minecraft modpack loader, if you don’t know what this means, just use Prism! NOTE: Prism requires a Microsoft C++ Redistributable, it will download that automatically.

Optional (Recommended) Things

    3. LUA Language server extension by sumneko for even more syntax highlighting and auto-complete. (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sumneko.lua)
  2. JMacWindow’s CraftOS-PC to allow you to write code and even test some of it, without being logged in to Minecraft.
  3. Or none of these! It’s totally possible to complete all of this challenge with only notepad and some elbow grease!
