Mineduino is the bridge between Minecraft and a real smart home - powered by Home Assistant. Flip a lever in your base, and a lamp lights up on your desk. And while you build, you actually learn how smart homes work.
Redstone is how you build machines in Minecraft. Mineduino takes those same signals and sends them to real devices - and sends real signals back into the game.
Flip a lever in your base and a lamp turns on in your room. Your redstone now controls real things.
Press a real button on your desk and something happens inside Minecraft. It works both ways.
While you play, you learn how a real Home Assistant smart home is built - for real.
Levers, buttons, redstone blocks and more - turn almost anything in your world into a switch, a light, a sensor, or a lock in your smart home.
New blocks and device types are added all the time. Tell us what you want next on Discord.
We only build and recommend gear that you truly own. Nothing locked, nothing that needs someone else's cloud to work.
You can read the code, learn from it, and change it. Nothing hidden.
Re-flash any device with your own programs. No locked-down hardware.
Built around Home Assistant - the free, open smart-home brain.
It runs on your own network. No internet needed, nothing spying on you.
Every step is a real skill. You start in a game you love, and end up understanding how real smart homes are built - the same tools grown-ups use.
Start wherever you're comfortable and level up at your own pace. There's a path from "just press play" all the way to building your own devices.
Follow a tutorial. Download the mod, connect your first block, and watch a real lamp light up. No experience needed - just follow along.
Create your own automations.Make your own rules in Home Assistant - "if this happens, then do that" - and connect Minecraft to the rest of your home.
Build your own devices. Program and create your own Home Assistant hardware. This is where a hobby turns into a real skill.
Wherever you start, the Discord is there to help you reach the next level.
Setup guides, cool builds, and ideas to get you started. New videos drop on our channel.
Get help, show off your builds, find people to play with, and be first to hear what's coming next. The Discord is the heart of Mineduino.
Minecraft genuinely changed my life. I ran servers, made friends from all over, and I even met my wife in the game.It's where I learned to code - I started by writing plugins so my server could do the things I imagined.
And it all began with redstone. Wiring up those little in-game circuits is what sparked my love for real electronics - the exact same jump from a block in the game to a wire on a desk that Mineduino is built to give you.
That's the whole point: Mineduino is the bridge I wish I'd had as a kid. Start in a game you love, end up building real things.
Mineduino starts in a game kids already love - and quietly turns it into real, useful skills they'll carry into adult life.
Behind the fun, they're picking up genuine STEM and home-tech skills:
