:UPDATE 8/18/17: Schematic for the LED array posted.

I installed them with the colors staggered somewhat evenly

They are currently connected through the 3.3v power. I am thinking I may want to test it at 5v, as the lights aren't quite as bright as I had hoped.

              Edit 2:

Tried it through 5v. I like it better... posted both schematics, use whichever you prefer. The only difference is whether you connect the power wire through pin 1 or pin 2.

              Edit 3:

Server is up and running. Lights are lighting. 100% finished.

:UPDATE 08/17/17: The lights are working!

I modified the code from this tutorial to make the lights do what I wanted them to do: https://www.sunfounder.com/learn/Super_Kit_V2_for_RaspberryPi/lesson-3-flowing-led-lights-super-kit-for-raspberrypi.html

The script needs to run at startup: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/rc-local.md

I am using this write-up to set-up the server, but I haven't finished yet: http://lemire.me/blog/2016/04/02/setting-up-a-robust-minecraft-server-on-a-raspberry-pi/

I will work on the server part tomorrow. I will also post the schematic and more pictures tomorrow.

08/16/17 Planning for this to have lights inside that switch from red (redstone) yellow (gold) blue (lapiz) and white (diamonds)

I have not finished the internals for that, but I should have done by tomorrow evening.

In the meantime, here is the case with the PI mount inside,

I designed this to house my family Minecraft server. It seemed appropriate... but I also wanted it to double as a spiffy nightlight.
