What would you do with Ben's "Minecraft Logic Blocks" Build? Let us know and win!-Winner Announced!

you can make a Raspberry PI run minecraft_server.jar with java. I've tried it with the minecraft.exe on my PI and i'm off line my internet went down and i really wanted to play it. but i'll try it the next i connect my PI it my router.

Thanks to everyone who participated in The Ben Heck Show Minecraft contest! Congrats to fisher0251 on winning the build! Make sure you stay tuned for more episodes of The Ben Heck Show!

I will build additionals for my projects. Something cool like wireless electricity experiments can be done with this I think after some tinkering.

Cool electronic kit with things like Timers, oscillators,  yep you got it right everything is possible.

Small things that need really basic logics can be brought up like How about a classic box designed with simple logic like a sequence of things to open it up!

Cool lightings when you ..............................I could go on!

But thats it for today..

My sons are both Minecraft addicts. There is a long list of people my older son has introduced and gotten hooked on it (myself included). We often joke that Mojang should give him some kind of commission. They play both XBOX 360 and Pocket Edition. We actually have family memories together where we remember what we were building in Minecraft when we were doing something else.

One thing they would love is to be more portable when playing Pocket Edition (on the road, at the top of one of our favorite mountains, etc.) To that end I'm working on building one of these Raspberry PI Pocket Edition servers (http://homemadepi.wordpress.com/2013/10/13/how-to-set-up-a-minecraft-pocket-edition-server-on-the-raspberry-pi/) hopefully with a substantial battery backup so we can take it on the road and start the server up anywhere. From there I'd like to extend the server (plugins probably) to build interfaces between the game ocurring on the server and the real world and vice versa. I had a couple of ideas about controlling torches (battery) or radios in the real world from within the game, but I think we could integrate these blocks in a neat way. We could make another block that would bridge from real world to game or make some kind of surface that would detect the blocks and show the analog of them in the game.

I'm always looking for ways to encourage learning and creativity in my kids, thanks for a great couple of episodes!

I want that

Pick me Ben hack

Hi my name is Alex Robinson and i love your show and i want to grow up doing what you do customizing, redesigning, rebuilding and creating portables and my birthday is on the 3rd of September and i would love to have the surprise that i have won and it would be amazing if my idea was made and sent to me. My idea is that if the blocks could be transform into something like a remote control helicopter or car or robot or minecraft figures like players the are electronic and move and walk even mobs or maybe even a usb that plugs into a computer via usb wire and allows you to simply program the object to play music or make it into a light up block from minecraft that lights up and is a speaker that you can plug into to your phone jack to play the sounds. The Speaker is my favorite idea that i would like build the most out of all my ideas. So please can you build my one of my ideas for my birthday please.

Thank you

Alex Robinson
