MC-T1

MC-T1 is a plugin, made using Magikcraft, for Minecraft that simulates Type 1 Diabetes to educate children about their or their friend's Diabetes.

What is Type 1 Diabetes?

Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the body’s immune system attacks its own pancreas and is irreversible. This attack is known as autoimmune disease. Because of the pancreas being attacked Insulin production is halted. Insulin is the hormone that serves as a key to open your cells to allow the glucose to enter and allow the use of glucose for energy. Without Insulin the glucose stays and builds up in the blood and this starves the cells.

Type 1 diabetes is distinct from Type 2 Diabetes. Unlike Type 2 Diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes is not a life style disease and is irreversible.

Getting help - the #mct1 channel on Slack

Before you start

Before you start using MC-T1 you will need a few things set up:

• You need a Minecraft account from Microsoft. You can get this from www.minecraft.net. If you have an Australian credit card you might not be able to pay for an account. You can use PayPal or buy a gift card from your local supermarket or 7/11.

• You need a Minecraft client. You can use either the Minecraft.net client and our own Magikcraft.io client. If you use the Minecraft.net client you need to create a profile with the correct version of Minecraft and enter the MC-T1 server details. The Magikcraft client comes preconfigured with the servers for MC-T1 and is automatically set to the correct version. You can download the Magikcraft client from client.magikcraft.io.

• You need a GitHub account. Open a GitHub account for free at www.github.com and make sure that you verify your email by clicking on the link that GitHub sends to you.

Set up MC-T1

• Use your GitHub account to login to the Magikcraft Spellbook at play.magikcraft.io. This is where you will set up the code for MC-T1.

Enable MC-T1

• Put your mouse over your user profile picture and click on "Manage Plugins" in the menu that pops up. You will get a screen that says "Enabled plugin: package.json".

• In the dependencies section add the mct1 package. That section should look like this:

"dependencies": {
      "mct1": "https://github.com/mc-t1/mct1.git"
},

• Click "Save Spell". This loads MC-T1 for you.

Create a spell to start MC-T1

• Click on "Spells" on the top menu.

• Click on "New Spell".

• Paste the following code into the spell, replacing the existing text:

function call(module, spell = '_default') {
    let char;
    [':', '.'].forEach(_char => {
        if (module.indexOf(_char) != -1) {
            const _args = module.split(char);
            module = _args[0];
            spell = _args[1];
        }
    });
    require(module).spells[spell]();
}

Connect to a Magikcraft server

You can use one of the following servers to run MC-T1:

• magikcraft.io

If you have the Magikcraft client, click on "Connect to other servers". If you do not see an entry for "magikcraft.io", then follow the instructions below for the Minecraft.net client.

If you are using the Minecraft.net client, then click on Add Server, and enter magikcraft.io into the name and server address fields.

Connect to the server. When you appear in the Minecraft world, type /spellbook. You get a link in your console. Press 'T' to activate chat, then click on the link. Open the link in your web browser. This will connect your spellbook with your Minecraft account and allow you to run MC-T1.

Start MC-T1

OK, now you're ready to run MC-T1!

Press the 'T' key on your keyboard, then type in:

/cast call mct1

This will start MC-T1.
