Now Control Your Home Device by Minecraft

This project explores controlling devices such as lights and home appliances from Minecraft using a mod. Minecraft mods (short for modifications) are extensions that modify the game to add content, change the feel, or give more options to the game. With the increasing popularity of standards such as AllJoyn, the extension to physical devices is easier than ever.

So lets begin

1. Minecraft
2. LIFX Color 1000 Smart Bulb x1
3. AllJoyn

1. While playing Minecraft, with this mod running, you will see temperature and light level displayed in the upper-left corner. The values change as you explore the world of Minecraft.
2. If you have an AllJoyn light or an AllJoyn air-conditioned device connected to the same network, their properties will also change to create a game room atmosphere.

Note:

• Brightness and Color of every AllJoyn LSF light bulbs changes as the game surrounding light goes darker or brighter.
• Temperature settings of AllJoyn Air-Condition device increases or decreases as the game weather or biome changes
