At the prompt, type java -version and press ENTER.
If after that a message appears, as on me, and the number after the first point is 7 or more, then a suitable version of Java is already installed.
In this case, go to "Installing the Minecraft Python API

Go to http://www.java.com/en/download/.
Click Download Java for free. Then click Agree and start the free download.

Wait until the Java installation is complete.

Click the link http://mif.to/minecraft and download the archive for Windows - Minecraft Tools.zip.
When the file is downloaded, right-click on its icon and select Extract All. You will be asked where to put the extracted files. Click the Browse button and navigate to the Documents folder. Click the Make a New Folder button and name the Minecraft Python folder. Select this folder and click OK. Then click Extract to unpack the files.
Go to the Documents folder, and from there to the Minecraft Python folder - you should see the unpacked files there.
Open the Minecraft Tools folder. Double-click the Install_API file. A new window will appear, and the installation of the program interface will begin. If a warning appears, click Run Anyway.
When the installation is complete, press any key.
Running Minecraft Server
In the Minecraft Tools folder, double-click the Start_Server file. If a window appears asking if you want to open this file, click Open.
A window will open and the server will start loading. Wait for it to finish and rewind the text in the window up, to the very beginning. There, in the area of the third or fourth line, there should be a message of the form Starting minecraft server version x. x. x. Instead of "x" there should be specific numbers - for example, this is 1.11.2.
Write down these numbers (the version number of the server). Leave the window open.

In the "Name" field, enter: Program with Minecraft.
Click on the drop-down list in the "Version" field and select the version number of your server.
