Meet Andy, a Minecraft bot that you can talk to and who can actually do stuff. He is built with ChatGPT and mineflayer. He is kind of an idiot, but occasionally smart. Watch as he mines, crafts, builds, fights, talks, and survives.

Andy so realistic he rage quitted when the Creeper exploded
I imagined it as him getting jumpscared
Lol
Erm, actually it crashed 🤓 ☝️
@@Yakqwerty u clearly didnt get the joke
@@learningwithaaronhe did get the joke l. He is just acting like what a nerd would say in this situation as a joke. You are clearly the one who can’t take a joke.
Imagine 100 or even a thousand of these working collaboratively. Imagine exploring in Minecraft and stumbling upon a civilization of AI bots all going through their daily routines to advance and automate processes.
this is exactly what i thought and would love to see someone set up an experiment of 100 ai in a minecraft world and watch to see if they collaborate
@@Mr_Tomato_Man we've already seen AI agents collaborating in virtual environments like in that hide and seek experiment Open AI did a while ago. I agree it would be super interesting to see agents collaborate in a more complex environment like Minecraft. The issue, at least from my understanding, is that it's difficult to get AI agents to work towards goals in an open-ended environment. Apparently creating intrinsic motivation is rather difficult.
it would just be hundreds of cobblestone pillars
old builder ai
Having the AI command other AIs would be incredible
The fact that he builds like a 3d printer is very funny for me
common robot ancestor xD
Exactly was I was thinking
6:57 ""Attacking a creeper"? What creeper? OH MY go-" love how andy served as a warning but it failed anyway
Soon: Bro, your Minecraft house looks very AI generated
💀
That's honestly a fantastic way to roast a build.
:skull:
7:13 that's so cute after he crashed and rejoined he said sorry
Think of a server. A server where Andy is the admin.
No. Please no.
Yes
That would be very interesting
I find it so endearing honestly. ChatGPT is already so excessively polite and then when you make it into this assistant that's clearly working so hard, it's just so nice. The messages when it crashes or dies are so apologetic it makes my heart melt. I know it's only an AI but this thing is so endearing.
It's not really working hard it's an object
@@Arctic_roach objectifying ais smh
@@Arctic_roachbro is going to be turned into an object by Skynet
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
@@adora_was_taken I mean, it kinda is. One day though...
It's a law of youtube that content creators will become more likely to upload a minecraft video with time
gaming + ai = views
The perfect base for a horrifying horror mod, which turns Andy into herobrine without your knowledge. He slowly starts to creep around, and say darker and darker stuff.
That is just a good idea
Probably bit too expensive, either for paying for the GPT+ subscription, or for the resources you'd need to do it yourself.
@@Tomobata you can run a decent LLM on an RTX 3070. not easy to get but not extremely limited, especially if you already have a gaming setup
@@adora_was_taken A LLM takes up a lot of RAM, add that to running Minecraft? The only way to make that work is to have 2 gaming PCs, one hosting Minecraft, and the other hosting the LLM, which is too much to ask for if you want to make a redistributable mod for a community.
@@Tomobata you'd be surprised. they usually only use VRAM on the GPU, which doesn't see a as much usage from minecraft. i just tested it with a 3070 and 32gb of ram and i'm able to run minecraft and gemma (google's local llm) simultaneously. you could probably get away with much less.
I would absolute love watching a little community of bots playing together. I feel like they’d get up to some interesting stuff and I’d love to find out more about their “thought processes” during. So cool
12:17 is some road runner and coyote scene 💀
its so much bs that the coyote will go through the effort of placing a creeper in a giant cave below his house, just for andy to somehow survive. just like how i remember it
5:40 “And he will defend himself from hostile mobs!” Proceeds to charge at the zombies and slaughter them without even giving them a chance to attack.
The best part is that he's not even that good at juggling, XD
Yeah, some terminator type stuff
12:25 I love how Andy doesn't place a bed, and instead digs a hole to fight a creeper. 💀
imagine andy helping you find the zombie in your walls making you go insane

I cant wait to see the future of Minecraft chatbots. This fascinates me
Videos using GPT4 and a community of Andy bots would be cool to see. also congrats when you hit 100k subs, it's coming up quick
You can use a multi model design where you have a potential fine tuned image to text generator so whenever you talk to Andy, it will take a screenshot, convert it to a text description of the world, and give it to GPT to assist with function calling since now it has more information of the world. For example now “go to that mountain” would work
skip the screenshot step, and just give gpt a description. except, it would need to be more than a description and probably a list of coordinates with descriptions attached to each one.
@@steamkaptain9234 you need the screenshot to automatically generate a text description... as for the coordinates, that data is already freely available in the mod, so that would not be difficult to implement, and it is likely already implemented.
OpenAI bills go brrrrrr
Finally! I can play with friends.
Coolest thing I've seen today, What a time to be alive!!
this has so much potential. imagine what it could be like in 10 years. acting like a real player, talking like one, maybe even having an ai voice connected to something like simoke voice chat
I think that's going to be even sooner
@@FXV56 It already kinda exists in real life! 😳 kzhead.info/sun/htVqgb56bJSXga8/bejne.html This project called Figure is similar but it's an AI connected to a humanoid robot instead of a fake player. It would be pretty dang cool to get the same kind of responsiveness in-game though
bruh that sucks it better not take 10 years
@@uqnyChatgpt 4 and Chatgpt 4 turbo already have voice features for the AI of course you will have to provide it with voices to copy though.
Always thought Vedal and Neurosama would be able to get this done first. But nice!
Holy hell, can you imagine neuro in control of this bot
i think that a bot coding actions for itself is so cool but so scary
Was searching for this exactly use of chatgpt in minecraft and found your video. Subbed and Hope to see more updates and similar projects. Great work
I've read the Voyager paper too, and when I did I though that someone should do what you did! This has so much potential! Can't wait to see where it goes!
all that stuff at the end about self-sufficient chatty npcs makes me think of Millénaire. but fr this project looks incredible, great work making an accessible video about it!
New here. This is fascinating. Can’t wait to see how much the bot progresses!
I love how Minecraft is the way KZhead shows this channel to me for the first time yet the rest of the content on the channel is so interesting for me as well.
love the names you have for andy, mindcraft, mineflayer.
I've been looking forward to this specific application of AI bots. Awesome work, and channel.
Masterclass, thank you, keep up the project, dude!!
I'm fascinated with this, it has to be one of the most interesting applications of AI I've seen
This is a pretty cool! seems fun to have a bot play along and help you with things :)
it might sound weird but andy extremely reminds me of when i first started playing minecraft, down to his building and such. it's giving me very weird nostalgia, but it goes to show how genuinely cool usage of AI can be in this certain context.
Wow this is actually incredible! Most other games or mods with ai npcs have you just talk to ChatGPT but here Andy can actually do things and even write it's own commands, woah. I think you're together with Kolby pushing the state of the art of incorporating ai in games The limitations are unfortunate, but this is already so cool and I'm excited for what's waiting around the corner
These videos are really fun to watch
"yes you can, try again" I find it both funny and frightening that that actually works
I have a half finished project like this myself, the agent has a local representation of the world of 5x5 in layers, represented in a table, and then a list of the top 20 interesting items nearby in a range of 20x20x20. The visuals have helped in some cases where the agent gets confused, but it also leads to confusion 😅 I also agree that Mineflayer is painful. The amount of times my agent gets stuck in tree leaves (I suspect there is a weird height issue and jumping doesn't work well). I love this project and what you've produced this far, I got demotivated early but that was with early versions of GPT-3.5 and I suspect GPT-4 would be a lot more intelligent. It's also more affordable per token now. Excited to see what you produce with this. btw, the newAction command is a great idea.
This is so amazing! I absolutely love this project. I'm thinking more about how to get it to see the world around it. Coming from the text adventure approach, it would be really cool if we could somehow deconstruct the terrain generation algorithm to be able to give a prompt like "You are in a forest, with many treas around you. There is a pond west of you. exposed in the pond is a vein of coal. Far south of you there is a mountain, with a cave entrence in it" - this output itself can be generated by giving GPT a list of points of interest and asking it for a human-like output, with points related to eachother and prioritised. It might be possible to integrate raycasting into this to only feed in visible surroundings
Of course any non-natural structures would have to be somehow described as well. I think the best way to do that is just to always remember structures somewhere whenever an agent builds them. Then there could appear "a small hole dug by agent_12", "a big tower constructed by yourself".
I also just thought, asking GPT to describe the terrain/world as a D&D style DM would be kind of perfect
This is and incredible project! Keep going.
That's super interesting, i hope it gets further development
Well, I think you have even surpassed the Voyager bot, although it has its flaws. There is a bright future with your experiment. This really has its value in gold. For my part, I am super grateful that we have people who launch themselves into these exciting projects.😁😁🤩🤩😍
You've basically begun the implementation of proper reactive npc companions. this is incredible
Really interesting video as always!
Found you through your minecraft stuff but the fractal and life videos you make are cool as balls too
This is absolutely mind-blowing
Great video and amazing work !
I 10000% would pay good money for a very capable NPC "friend" especially if it can actually talk out loud rather than text. There are super low latency TTS models already too.
Emergent garden video! Buckle up!
Definitely going to check out your project. Recently, I've been playing with a fork of Voyager (Voyager-Ollama) that runs using local models. After making some changes and getting it running, many hours of runtime in "learning" mode against 10 or so models, I've found a few things. First, it's been very unsuccessful without GPT-4's massive amount of training. For instance, the llama2 model isn't aware of Wooden Pickaxe when I ask about it. Several models insist that you need a tool to mine wood, so coming up with the first tools fails. Sometimes my prompting to counteract this works, other times it doesn't. JavaScript code generation also frequently fails to produce something runnable. Overall, in my opinion this just shows how much the "skill" (training) of the language model on the backend contributes to the success of automation projects like Voyager. Choose a model that doesn't know a lot about Minecraft (or possibly worse, believes some incorrect things about it), and it's going to have a hard time.
We need this to speedrun the game But to be honest this would be very fun to play with in the future where these bots can easily be used in worlds and act almost human and this can lead to a lot of cool stuff to see and do!
You know this is Box of Pandora. You create Life
just like a young child learning minecraft
Thank you very much for the great video. I'm really looking forward to seeing what we can do once we "log in" to the real world. As robots, a fusion of hardware and software, come into play, and with the energy issue about to be resolved with the upcoming operation of fusion reactors, it seems we humans are about to start creating something new, driven by our creativity and curiosity.
Will definitely look into this
With gpt4, you could potentially make the bot take like 6 screenshots and then merge them together to make like a 360 degree image which it could use to see what you're talking about. "Mine that tree" "where should we build our house"
The revolution of Minecraft is here 😭 I can't even imagine this
On hyvä Robotti. Todella hauska! 👍
I'm biased, but my vote goes for implementing evolutionary survival. Also, have you tried using chain of thoughts and agents to make chatGPT come up with the orders that Andy should follow? For example I just tried with the prompt "I just started a game of Minecraft, can you explain me step by step what should I do first to survive?" and then "I want you to assume the roles of a strategist, an engineer and a javascript coder. Simulate a chain of command on how they are going to execute step 1 of your plan. Strategist should define the goal, engineer the way to proceed and coder create javascript code to actually execute the actions. All three roles are part of the same minecraft player." and the result looks like something that could become usable.
It would be really cool to see the AI complete the entire game and get every achievement!! Or even more complicated, like you mentioned, a community of bots in their own SMP with a giant modpack they could play to make things even more complicated :)
This is so good now imagine a minecraft rpg server with npcs like these
thumbnail is so intriguing.
That MC Skin is fancy
It's perfect
Definitely perfect and not causing me to get annoyed at any particular pixels
I would love to see these bots able to communicate in some way, such as asking one another for resources and they go get it, or have one bot as a sort of ‘admin?’ They can help clear commands and fix the ones who are stuck as well as direct and ask other bots to progress the game, gather resources. That sort of thing.
yay, i can finally have friends to play minecraft with me, thank you, internet stranger
this is so cool. I think i might try making my own with Baritone and pyautogui so it can just type Baritone commands in chat
This is awesome
You goddamn wizard. This is super cool.
12:19 this fucking sent me bro oh my god we are on the brink of perfection
He was short on wool so he went in the cave to kill spiders and craft a bed, what a smart bot!
Welcome to minecraft 😊
amazing idea
Phenomenal
I understand how this was created but in practice it still boggles my mind how this even exists. The future is going to be crazy.
It just a matter of time before it starts to beat minecraft
It would be cool to make whole server with this bots. Theoretically ChatGPT can plan tasks for each bot-player for achieving some goal. Also it’s possible to block all commands from users, leaving only ChatGPT to decide what to do next. Optionally every bot-player can use chat when it has time and good situation for it. So we will have server with 5-10 bot-players, that run on some virtual machines and have their own goals and plans, that can discuss them with players or between each other
Oh yes, you mentioned at 17:25 the same idea👀
How I wish I could participate. This is very endearing, and I already have some ideas for its' possible uses.
Andy is cool, be like andy.
Now AI is going to take Minecraft content creators jobs 💀
Cant wait for chat gpt to tell me the rarest block in minecraft
Will the ai also do the mandatory child groomer when they hit 100k subs?
@@Fieldperson imagine getting groomed by an ai bruh 💀
To improve his overall performance you could maybe use a combination of image to text and functions that allow to check for specific blocks (like nearest block in this direction, highest/lowest exposed block in the near vicinity, a cave finder or an output of a small box of blocks) chat got is actually pretty good at interpreting tables.
Very, very interesting!
Ok . This is actually pretty cool
i would love to someday see a group of ai's play an smp together, that'd be a crazy series
Have either of you looked into baritone? it may have a few inspirations to take for this project if any. I'm aware how primitive baritone is compared to this, still thought worth a mention.
Maybe you could write a "look" command, that describes his surroundings in different levels of detail via letters layer by layer (kinda like Dwarf fortress portrays land). In any case I'm very interested in this project and curious how much better GPT4 would do. Keep us updated!
LOl "apparently im a minecraft youtuber now." got me dieing
*digs straight down* lol
i would love to see this attempted with local models, something like llama. would be really cool, especially if you fine tuned it specifically for minecraft.
One thing I can imagine that would be really cool is one on one teaching an advanced AI how to play Minecraft, with the AI no prior knowledge of Minecraft or internet access
It might be interesting to allow it to take screenshots and send them to some computer vision/image description model so that you could actually tell it to do things like walk to the mountain over there. Granted, I would not expect these models to work particularly well on Minecraft images without some finetuning.
It was 2024, people were tired of playing Minecraft themselves, but it was impossible not to play it, so they asked the computer to play instead of them. God bless technological progress!
So Mineflayer and GPT are the left and right hemispheres of the brain, fighting for dominance over the single remaining neuron.
Would it be possible to add a build option to use LLaMa instead of GPT, so as to make it completely free?
Yes, but you'd still need to run llama on some pricey hardware
@@EmergentGarden How about quantized models or would the performance just be too slow? I'm working on making an local inference server instead of using OpenAI's API
@@EmergentGardenNow that llama 3 8b is released, i could try
Sooner than you think Andy bot will be strong enough to defeat the Ender dragon.

HATE THE COMPANIES DEVELOPING THESE PROGRAMS BUT GOTTA ADMIT, THIS IS COOL AS SHIT Kudos for managing to get this so functional!!
Just wondering, why don’t you like OpenAI and other companies like that?
@@TracieGurley-oj7loEverything to do with systems of power!! Won't get into a full explanation but the long and short of it is that technology in general has the capacity to aid our species and help us leap forward into a better world.... but only if we are mindful of how these technologies are developed, used, etc. The companies currently in charge have a massive incentive to (and they will act on it) not develop nor distribute these technologies equitably. Like any previous paradigm shift, if it is only controlled by those in power to reinforce their own hegemony, the majority of people will suffer and be left AT BEST in a position where they are roughly as well off as before, although more likely will be worse off. Look into what goes on behind closed doors for a lot of these organizations, and you'll likely start to understand what I mean - after that, if you're willing to dive into the rot that is Neoliberal capitalism to understand it, I have some decent book recommendations lol

Well this is quite a conversation for a Minecraft video comment reply section.
Cool stuff. I wonder what would happen if you put the bot in a chat loop. Something like. If Status Idel then SelfQuestion: ChatGPT what can I do in my Minecraft World? ChatGPT to Bot: >>example build a House
