I asked o1-preview what the fastest way to get to a Fortune III enchantment was. My options were: Using a Fishing Rod with Luck of the Sea III + Lure 3 and repeatedly fishing. Using an Enchanting Table repeatedly until I get Fortune 3. Factor in the time that it would take to get the experience for these experiments Making a Villager a Librarian and breaking their Lectern and setting it up again In short: ...

Bad Apple in #Minecraft? Turns out it can be done. At 20 fps on the original resolution (512x384). This is the most mind-blowing piece of engineering I’ve seen in some time! https://purplesyringa.moe/blog/we-built-the-best-bad-apple-in-minecraft/ LinkedIn

My PyCon talks are a way for me to learn. I usually pick topics I don’t know about. But at PyCon India 2023 the organizers picked “Programming Minecraft with Python” - a talk I’d given before. So, I started exploring ways to game it. (I like gaming things. It’s boring otherwise. Once, Infosys had me write a 400-page document. I began each page with a letter that spells out a poem.) ...

I spent 10 hours this week mining for diamonds. I found just 8! I badly need Fortune III on my pickaxe. But today, my biggest worry is sorted out. Diamond is back in usual quantities in Minecraft 1.17! https://www.windowscentral.com/minecraft-bedrock-edition-1-17-2-hotfix LinkedIn

As it turns out, Minecraft is pretty programmable. You can send it messages using websockets that can place blocks, create mobs, get information, and more. None of this is officially documented, though. So I spent a few weeks reverse-engineering this and put together a guide to programming Minecraft. ...

Minecraft lets you connect to a websocket server when you’re in a game. The server can receive and send any commands. This lets you build a bot that you can … (well, I don’t know what it can do, let’s explore.) Minecraft has commands you can type on a chat window. For example, type / to start a command and type setblock ~1 ~0 ~0 grass changes the block 1 north of you into grass. (~ means relative to you. Coordinates are specified as X, Y and Z.) ...

I’ve been active on Minecraft for the last 6 months, thanks to my daughter. She keeps watching game videos for hours. I thought I’d see what the big deal was, and made one myself. In this 5-minute clip, I’m mining for Ancient Debris in the Nether by placing beds – which explode when used in the Nether. That’s a quick way to clear large areas and is cheaper than TNT. Ancient Debris is used to make Netherite Scrap which makes Netherite ingots that can upgrade to Netherite weapons and armor – the strongest things in Minecraft. ...
