Nice, I wonder if the open source Minetest can be used instead of Minecraft.

Not easily as minetest is written in C++ and this is hosted on the JVM.

Not really a REPL, but can inject code into a running minetest instance: https://github.com/Quiark/mtrepl/

It would be interesting to render the images from the POV of a player in the world onto a large movie screen in game. Then other players could join in, go to the cinema and watch the live stream. Might be fun for game lobbies.

This is cool. I’d like to do this with one of my adult children who has been into Minecraft for years. Was a setup/getting started guide captured from the session that you can share?

This one's older, but here's an example using Haskell: http://www.timphilipwilliams.com/slides/minecraft.pdf

The main idea is algebraic composition (a non-commutative monoid).
