Testing the Setup

A very basic test will show you whether the connection is working between the Minecraft server and the IPython notebook server.

  1. In IPython, click on the exercises folder to navigate to where the classroom exercises are stored.

  2. Click on Exercise 1 – Hello World! to open the notebook for the first exercise. Your screen should look roughly like the following:

    ../_images/hello-world-notebook.png
  3. Choose Cell ‣ Run All from the menu.

  4. In the Minecraft game, look for the Hello Minecraft! message. If you don’t see it, try opening chat by typing T. You should see something like the following:

    ../_images/hello-world-minecraft.png

If this works, fantastic! You are ready to continue on with the exercises.
