Lots of fun stuff you can program in Minecraft Pi Edition.

My son and I made a minecraft version of snake/tron where each player would leave behind a trail of TNT blocks as they ran around a closed arena. Hitting a TNT would set off such huge chain reaction of explosions that the raspberry pi couldn't handle it. After a few rounds of these explosions the minecraft world looks like a total wasteland.

I honestly wish they had some of that level of scripting for the desktop version too, I love the idea of doing Python with Minecraft. Plus fun ideas like that could scale a little better on a much more powered system.

have you seen Microsoft MakeCode? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/code-minecraft...

It's a scratch like programming environment that lets you do all kinds of cool things in Minecraft.

It may be a little outdated (works with minecraft 1.7), but this project replicates the pi functionality for the normal version of minecraft: https://github.com/kbsriram/mcpiapi

There is a custom plugin/language to extend vanilla Minecraft server transparently called Denizen. Custom yaml based scripts and even repl in-game

You can emulate it with a docker image and show the UI on your desktop..or build a QEMU image and play on your desktop!

That would be quite achievable with command blocks though...
