ComputerCraft is a Minecraft mod (with full SMP support) which adds in-game computers. Each computer comes with its own Operating System featuring a host of built-in programs, and can be programmed to do anything you want with the easy-to-learn Lua programming language. Each computer has its own isolated file system and OS, a DOS-like screen interface, a comprehensive help system, two awesome games (including a text adventure based on Minecraft, and a fast paced arcade action game), and the ability to send and receive redstone signals in all six directions via RedNet (including RedPower Bundled Cables, allowing for a full 96 bits of I/O).

New in version 1.4, There are new turtles and an updated turtle API that makes turtles more fun to play with. This update features some new turtle API functions, such as turtle.suck (allows turtles to pull things off the ground and from chests), and lots of new turtles such as the lumberjack turtle.

Build A Computer
A computer isnt hard to make, just surround a piece of redstone with stone and a glass pane on the bottom middle slot. You right-click as usual to place and right-click to open up the computer interface. The command "help" is suggested to see how to use the computer more in-depth.

Build a Turtle
A turtle isn't hard to make either, but you need to craft a computer first. In order to craft a turtle surround a computer with iron ingots and a chest on the bottom-middle slot. Its basically the same as a computer buts its mobile and can use the turtle API (to learn more about this api do "help turtle").

Build a Disk Drive
Want to store files on your floppies? A disk drive is what you need! You craft a disk drive by surrounding a piece of redstone with stone and a piece of redstone on the bottom-middle. You right-click to open the GUI and drag a floppy disk into the slot. You can access the disk drive (considering it's next to your computer) by using the command "cd disk".
