0.31 20100130

This version adds workbench crafting, gold tools, the "Beast Boy" MD3 mob, mob item drops, and soup to the game.

Features from previous Indev versions include the Indev mossy cobblestone spawn house, NBT level file saving, tools, torches, advanced liquid spread, TNT explosives, chests, and passive MD3 mobs.

Install this version with python -m pip install minecraft-python==0.31.20100130 or, from source, python setup.py build_ext --inplace.

Pyglet, Cython, Pillow, PyOgg, NumPy, and nbtlib are required dependencies and can easily be installed with pip. Use the versions specified in requirements.txt.

For audio to work you will either need PyOgg which is recommended, or FFmpeg which has to be installed on your system.
GStreamer is also supported on Linux through the gst-python library. PyOgg requires that your system have one of the Opus, FLAC, or Vorbis codecs. OpenAL is required and comes bundled with the source on Windows.

Run python -m mc.net.minecraft.client.Minecraft to launch the game. Minecraft: Python Edition should be compatible with any modern platform that supports OpenGL and Cython.

Run with the argument -fullscreen to open the window in fullscreen mode (or press F11 in-game). The argument -creative will force the game to be in creative mode.

All controls are as you would expect for the game and they can be configured in the options menu. Press I to open your inventory, F5 to toggle rain and F7 to take a cool isometric screenshot.

Smelting is unique in early Indev: to get iron or gold ingots, light the dropped ores on fire or throw them in lava.

The Indev level generator is customizable and you can choose between the Inland, Island, Floating, and Flat level types.
You can specify the world theme as Normal or Hell (lava and dirt instead of water and grass), world size, and world shape (Square, Long, Deep).

Levels can be saved to a single .mclevel NBT file in the pause menu. The level files are perfectly compatible with Java and vice versa.

MD3 Steves may drop string on death, Black Steves may drop gunpowder, and Beast Boys may drop feathers.

Crafted mushroom bowl soup will restore health. Check the Wiki for crafting recipes added in this version.
