Autopilot · no orders needed

Log off. He keeps playing.

Say "autopilot" and Brobot works down his own list, from empty hands toward iron armour. Any order from you takes over at once.

The list

Whenever he is idle, he picks the first thing not done.

Top of the list wins. The times are from one test run that started with nothing in his hands. In ten minutes he mined 128 blocks, placed 131, crafted 146 items and did not die.

  1. Sleep when it is night

    If there is a bed nearby, or one in his bag, he uses it and sleeps until morning.

  2. Find food when hungry

    With nothing to eat and hunger setting in, he hunts a couple of animals and eats.

  3. A wooden pickaxe

    Chops a tree by hand, then planks, sticks, a crafting table and the pickaxe.

    Done 18 seconds in

  4. Stone tools

    Mines cobblestone and upgrades: stone pickaxe, sword and axe.

    Done 1.5 minutes in

  5. A house

    If he has no place called home, he chops about forty logs, builds the house and saves it as home.

    Done 8.2 minutes in · 42 logs chopped, 124 blocks placed

  6. An iron pickaxe

    Finds iron ore, mines three, smelts them in his own furnace and crafts the pickaxe.

    Done 9.9 minutes in

  7. A bed

    Once he is carrying three wool of one colour, he crafts a bed so nights stop being a problem.

  8. Iron sword and armour

    One piece at a time: mine, smelt, craft, put it on.

  9. Stockpile

    Coal, iron, wood and stone in rotation. He harvests ripe crops he passes, and when his bags are nearly full he walks home and stores everything in a chest.

Always on

Reflexes never switch off.

These interrupt whatever he is doing, then hand control back to the task.

Defends himself

A hostile mob within a few blocks gets his full attention until it is gone.

Eats

When hunger drops he eats the best food he is carrying.

Comes up for air

Low on breath, he surfaces first, breaking a ceiling if he has to.

Gets unstuck

Walking without getting anywhere for five seconds triggers a wiggle and a new route.

You stay in charge

It is your world. He just lives in it.

  • Any order takes over. Tell him to do something and autopilot switches off until you turn it back on.
  • "stop" always works. It takes the instant path, even with the Claude brain on.
  • Failures do not loop. A goal that fails is set aside for five minutes while he tries the next one.
  • Nights without a bed are rough. He keeps working and fights what shows up. Give him wool early.
  • If he dies, he says where. He respawns, remembers the spot, and goes back for his things when you say "get your stuff".
