I heard about ScriptCraft awhile ago. It is a Minecraft plugin built for the CraftBukkit server. Getting up and running with it is easy, I did it with one of the kids at Coder Dojo Indy in about 5 minutes on Saturday. You want to run at least 1.5.2-R0.1 (the current beta) of CraftBukkit in order for up to date Minecraft clients to be able to connect.
I started putting together a javascript plugin that will ultimately extend the arrows plugin written by Walter Higgins (the ScriptCraft author). The goal is that where ever an arrow you shoot lands a firework show will kick off. Ultimately the show will be a random, but this first set of commits is just getting a firework to kick off some distance from where the user is looking. Mostly it is just thrashing my way around the api. You can find my code on Github. You will very much want to have the Bukkit doxygen docs up and ready when working on this because that is how you get access to most of the underlying Minecrafty-ness.
