A ScratchX extension application for the Minecraft Pi Protocol
MCPI-Scratch lets you write Scratch scripts to manipulate Minecraft.
More specifically, its an extension application for the ScratchX editor that allows you to use blocks that represent the Minecraft Pi Protocol API. It actually uses a slightly cut-down version of the API specified by the RaspberryJuice mod which allows it to connect to both:
- Minecraft Pi Edition
- CraftBukkit server with the RaspberryJuice mod
A more detailed description is provided in github page for the project

- added .js extension to the github-page to make it easier to use
- added block to report player position.
- must request x, y, z separately
- position is fetched per request, it is not polling
- added block to get blockType at position
- set x, y, z
- set absolute or relative to player position
- returns the type but does not return block data (e.g, colour)
