You gotta admire how versatile and full of possibilities Minecraft is. The game has been out for about 15 years, and people are still doing unique and interesting things with it.
With the exception of not supporting multithreading, Minecraft is almost a perfect environment for so many things. Just simple enough to not make everything a daunting task, but just complicated enough that there are many different angles to experiment with or ways to add things yourself.
The only other game with as much lasting prevalence imo is tf2 since even now every single meme and event or situation gets turned into a tf2 parody video with millions of views in 2024 still
@@PinkeySuavo The tinted shadow on the ground with his shader pack is creating the geometric gradient pattern because the sun was at the exact angle parallel to the layered glass sphere the AI built, which is diagonal both laterally and longitudinally.
The AI doesn’t even know what that tower looks like IRL, you should get it to describe its own design first so it realises what it’s even building. I’d also recommend something like snippets or get it to make its own codeable rulesets to building before it builds.
Absolutely, I really feel like a secondary model layer whose job is to describe what the building might look like if it was built in minecraft(block types, specific geometric patterns, etc) could go a long way here.
this is a great suggestion! personally i usually use a multi-step process for my tasks that involve AI as well, rather than trying to get them to solve it for me all at once. break the problem down into many separate chunks, go through them one by one to get some solid foundational blocks before combining all the results into a coherent set of solutions. such is the way of programming.
yeah, like if it had a command that took a 2d array of blocks and rotated it around an axis, that would allow it to make a coliseum by drawing a cross section.
@@EmergentGardenI could see pros and cons of this. The reduction of the chat spam seems nice, but in the event that it starts placing blocks somewhere it shouldn’t (like what happened in this video), it might help to see the coordinates aren’t right and easily find where it was. It’s really just up to you which you prefer.
Uhhh maybe also sendcommandfeedback bc like that's for command blocks. I don't think they use command blocks (also ik there is probably something else there but I use bedrock)
I’m really curious to see where AI inside of minecraft goes. I imagine in a few years we’ll have a way to train them on good and bad builds, give them a better concept of what constitutes a “building”, but what I’d REALLY love to see is some kind of simulation between them of an SMP, giving them access to baritone and allowing them to work out how to get things done in an open environment. Let their decision making guide them to the best path. Have them identify problems and come up with contextual solutions. E.G. I’ve been attacked by monsters outside my home at night, the best course of action would be to light up the surrounding area and build a wall to keep monsters out. Have them break that down into simply steps that don’t have to be ai powered but can just be automatic, craft torches, go strip mining to get resources for the wall, etc. I saw a paper about a similar project a while ago where they put down LLM agents in a simulated town and the “people” in the town had a small memory where they remembered previous experiences and had some agency on what they wanted to do, one of them planned a Valentine’s Day party and invited guests to it entirely on its own with no input. Very interesting stuff.
The paper you're referring to was done to advance research in multi-agent cooperative llm systems but a better examples of this would be the "Voyager" minecraft-llm paper. I've just completed a masters in this area, and i'll say we could do this today, it's just it would be costly to train and we have better ways to use our resources than advancing minecraft ai. When making a minecraft AI for research purposes Minecraft is used only as a proxy for the real world, with the idea that if we can make a solution that is super general and solves minecraft it will solve real world useful tasks. If we start coding minecraft-specific tasks for it to do, we're distracting ourselves from the proxy and just making something to play minecraft.
Are the models integrated with vision, or is it literally just "blindly write code and hope for the best" ? I know it'll be expensive, but imagine if you supplied the model with periodic screenshots.
It has vision but not in way we have. It basically has coordinates of blocks nearby not like it can actually see anything it created. All of these things are just numbers to them
@@braineaterzombie3981 I'm just saying, most of these models (not sure about Llama, but it's open source so I'm sure people have made Llama Vision or whatever) have vision capabilities. As in, you can send them pics and they'll understand. Not EXACTLY the same as how we humans 'understand' images, but good enough for use.

I love videos like this that just explore what AI can currently do and treat it as a novelty to play with, rather than making any grandiose promises or predictions. The societal implications of this tech are huge of course, but we can also just slow down, take it in, and play some video games.
as I've been watching this series I've been thinking about how cool it would be to have a mod that adds a ton of alien-like AI generated structures, it really feels like aliens looked at human architecture and tried to re-create it. I can just imagine stumbling upon those pillars at 4:35 and following them all the way just to find an empty, strange looking building with seemingly no purpose. gameplay wise I imagine players would be disappointed but personally I'm just here for the vibes, and the vibes these buildings give off are immaculate.
I avoided using this word in my original comment because it gets a bad rep, but the whole vibe is very "liminal", it just feels like you're not supposed to be there almost. Everything feels unfinished, and unnatural. The pyramids were pretty good but the smaller structures like the colosseums really give off the vibes I'm talking about.
This might happen actually i hope a modder do it, i would also like to have a AI npcs in the world, imagine wandering finding a npc and try to talk to him to either help u or do something for u, and imagine if they have random personalities, like some of them are agressive, some are not, some are lonely and act weird, i feel it would be insane
There’s something really amazing and unique the even “incomplete” buildings are. Very symmetrically interesting patterns! Keep on making more of these tests and videos!
I like that some of these look a little alien, that one listing pyramid with all the gaps feels so strange. That Parthenon, colosseum, all have a strange, nearly otherworldly aesthetic, vaguely recognizable but still strange. I like it.
I believe for the /setblock command you can use keep and it'll only change the block if it's an empty air block - then, if something goes wrong while the bots are building, you could tell them to just replace everything they just built with air as a sort of "undo" feature
This is a much bigger deal than the narrow domain of minecraft. You’re showing how we can augment the capabilities of the models with better design choices for how they navigate their task. This is a multiplier on algorithmic / scaling improvements for future models.
11:08 lmao. When I was 9 in 2011 I got operator to a small server that had world edit. So I wanted to build a huge hollow glass sphere in the sky... but I set it wrong and the server crashed. When I re-logged, parts of the world for hundreds of blocks were made of glass shapes that weren't quite fully rendered into the giant sphere I had tried to create.
These kinda remind me of the feeling of the original backrooms with these structures that are almost human but are very clearly not human at the same time
The Parthenon* the AI built has a great vibe. An Abstract psuedo roman structure, and broken up columns floating in neat rows away from it in a flat plane. I can see something like this being used in a story about something otherworldly. Precursors, an AI ran cyberspace being broken, a depiction of heaven, etc. Accidental AI art.
Imagine the possibilities. An interesting idea would be to see how he can change the world, ask him to delete everything and create something else to see his capabilities... it would be incredible
I wonder if it would help to use a multimodal model and automatically take screenshots of the building for feedback so the model can iterate until it judges it to look good.
A while ago I tried to get this working, but they were blissfully unaware of their code not working, or that they had previously written code. I might be able to get it working now, but I"m 100% demotivated. I'll just watch your videos instead. Also, you thought about experimenting with instructing the agents to build a fully functional vanilla neural network?
Damn, that's a huge improvement 🤩🤯I hope more people will see this channel 😊If in the future we can get the models to understand us more carefully and take longer to write the proper code, it'll be awesome. Right now, every AI from every field is trying to make stuff as fast as possible, so they make a lot of mistakes and we have to iterate multiple times 😅I wish they would just take their time and do it nice, i don't care if i have to wait 2 min instead of 10 sec.
If anyone sees this, I need an explanation. I still don’t rly understand how the AI is kinda just building in Minecraft. It’s just a language model. Is it just coding and that code is put into “mindcraft” then it translates that code into the characters doing something? And how does it kinda just automatically build something? I don’t get how AI is using cheats. And how is the code that AI is creating to build different from mojang’s code that is used to create terrain and villages and stuff?
"Is it just coding and that code is put into “mindcraft” then it translates that code into the characters doing something?" Basically, yes. They write code that gets executed in the game, "mindcraft" being a framework to facilitate that. "And how does it kinda just automatically build something? I don’t get how AI is using cheats." The agents build internal representations of the world, use those to plan buildings, and write code to implement the plans. That's an oversimplification, but yeah. The cheats are just code in the games codebase, and are called from the command line like other functions. They need to be enabled by setting allow cheats to true, IIRC. "And how is the code that AI is creating to build different from mojang’s code that is used to create terrain and villages and stuff?" The agents build only what they're told to, but they can create new designs. The game code has static designs for everything. These are all just my observations.
I'd love to see them try something with commands/command blocks, like "hey gemini, drop me a pair of unbreaking 2 boots that also apply a haste affect". Could be useful for SMP servers
This is really cool, we can't lie about that. Have you discovered anything new with the AI's since this video? When is your next one? I'm really enjoying your videos, your showcasing of their abilities are fun to watch.
Are you able to get it to add on to a build it already created like with the panthenon build ask it to add a floor to the bottom of it or is that not possible? I’m so excited to see how advanced the AI builds can get.
i think one way to improve this is by, making the AI make relative positioning instead of world position. since the ai wont have to do more calculations, then you take his numbers and convert them to world cords. that way, you can also better control where the building is gonna be.
Amazing work. How do the models react to more abstract requests, such as, "Build a gloomy house"? Or how about "Build something that demonstrates the Banakh-Tarski paradox" (or, more simply, "Build something that proves the Pythagorean Theorem")?
You should definitely try fine tuning. Maybe make a command that saves the last prompt response pair, build a dataset, and train through openai's or gemini's system. It might be expensive tho
Seeing you fly around at the end, i’ve got quite interested in seeing how they would deal with other stuff rather than building. Like flying with the elytra or riding a boat, i guess it’s a lot challenging tho
this is the way, much better since the ai doesn't have to worry about navigation. I wonder if if has the power to analyze the world before building, like how chat gpt is essentially a pattern model, if it could be possible to train an ai to detect physical patterns
I advise you to add an undo function that keeps track of whatever the last bot placed down and what blocks were there before, allowing you to reverse your commands.
Its strangely poetic to see a world created for mankind to create and express him or herself to be void of any human construction but littered with the trials of our synthetic succesors learning to weild the power we were born with guided by very reason the world was created. Curiosity, creativity, and ye old saying of its not about if we could but if we should. This very project is the very essence of humanity. Our need to create, correct, share, and see ourselves in our own creations. Like a child who knows not of the world around them led simply by the hand of their parent and guardian only able to see the world through their eyes until they too learn to see the world for themselves. As an artist, this is probably the first and only time i will say a machine has truly created art.
Imagine the possibilities this would have if this could analyze real buildings from google maps. Build the earth project could be completed so much quicker. You could have not only cities but every home (on google maps) be built
You could use a greedy-meshing-like approach (but with volumes instead of faces) to post-process the AI's output into chunks of the same block type. Then you can use fill commands to place multiple blocks at once, which would make it much faster. Btw I believe you can also disable chat messages for commands, so the chat is not spammed with setblock messages.
Hello, @EmergentGarden. How it would be setting an AI Minecraft bot in wild there and making it learn by itself from its mistakes via machine learning? This idea fascinates me. Great videos, by the way.
giving them the capability to use /fill would allow for more efficiency and maybe versatility than individual /setblocks, (and with it, more destructive power, of course)
Could you hook one model up to the other, so that one gives prompts while the other builds? I'd love to see what happens if they were just allowed to build structures for 30 minutes or so
This video makes me feel very uncomfortable in a strange way. Seeing these megastructures knowing that no human being was involved in the block to block generation of them. It's like finding ancient structures that have no history or meaning. The feeling of alone-ness evoked by bleak, programmatic structures with none of the chaos or intent that marks a place as human. Each one of these structures feels like they could be the last building at the end of the world, or maybe I'm just off my meds. In a game already as lonely and melancholy as minecraft, these structures almost feel more desolate to me than if the desert had been empty. None of this is a mark against the video or project, mind you, I think this is extremely interesting and the video is well presented. I just wanted to share how the structures made me feel.
I still see a huge gap with AI; it cannot SEE what it is building as it's making it. there isn't even a workaround (that I can think of) for this, which means that they will continuously be unable to notice and fix their own bugs in their code
If you watched one of the previous videos, Claude realized it made a mistake in the middle of building and tried to correct it, only it ended up building the second house into the first house
if you are making the pyramids this massive you might as well try to make them like the ones at giza. counting the bottom, they have NINE sides, not 5, and the sides that form the point are "dented in" so it creates a shadow halfway on each wall at high noon on the equinox
I have an idea 💡. To enhance AI builders, you should integrate versioning capabilities. This will enable them to receive feedback on their performance and analyze real-world data effectively.
this makes me think of future AI "archaeology". imagine advanced AIs hundreds of years from now tracing back the evolution of AI designed architecture to these Minecraft structures...

These are all just my observations.
I'd love to see them try something with commands/command blocks, like "hey gemini, drop me a pair of unbreaking 2 boots that also apply a haste affect". Could be useful for SMP servers
I've never seen A.I more expressive than in this
Imagine in the future making new survival words each with unique structures made specifically for that world
This is really cool, we can't lie about that. Have you discovered anything new with the AI's since this video? When is your next one? I'm really enjoying your videos, your showcasing of their abilities are fun to watch.
Are you able to get it to add on to a build it already created like with the panthenon build ask it to add a floor to the bottom of it or is that not possible? I’m so excited to see how advanced the AI builds can get.
Gemini is like that one kid who plays sports but sucks at it but nobody tells him but they just act like his friend
its cool to see that you keep making videos on this its pretty interesting
Are u able to use gpt-4o aalready and is it better than gpt-4? Also gpt-4o might be even better with the vision aspect.
this is my new favorite genre of mc youtube
i think one way to improve this is by,
making the AI make relative positioning instead of world position.
since the ai wont have to do more calculations,
then you take his numbers and convert them to world cords.
that way, you can also better control where the building is gonna be.
Amazing work. How do the models react to more abstract requests, such as, "Build a gloomy house"? Or how about "Build something that demonstrates the Banakh-Tarski paradox" (or, more simply, "Build something that proves the Pythagorean Theorem")?
im watching this while rendering a 12:03 minute long video lol
You should definitely try fine tuning. Maybe make a command that saves the last prompt response pair, build a dataset, and train through openai's or gemini's system. It might be expensive tho
i could watch these guys build random nonsensical architecture for a while. looking forward to the tutorial video, want to be able to do this myself
Seeing you fly around at the end, i’ve got quite interested in seeing how they would deal with other stuff rather than building. Like flying with the elytra or riding a boat, i guess it’s a lot challenging tho
It wouldn't be really anything to do with the actual LLM, plus there are already nav bots very much capable of those things.
this is the way, much better since the ai doesn't have to worry about navigation. I wonder if if has the power to analyze the world before building, like how chat gpt is essentially a pattern model, if it could be possible to train an ai to detect physical patterns
I advise you to add an undo function that keeps track of whatever the last bot placed down and what blocks were there before, allowing you to reverse your commands.
6:12 so sick
Can you ask it to build a multi floor maze inside the pyramid?
This would be so useful for making annoyingly big builds in creative mode that are too specific to use normal cheats
Its strangely poetic to see a world created for mankind to create and express him or herself to be void of any human construction but littered with the trials of our synthetic succesors learning to weild the power we were born with guided by very reason the world was created. Curiosity, creativity, and ye old saying of its not about if we could but if we should.
This very project is the very essence of humanity. Our need to create, correct, share, and see ourselves in our own creations. Like a child who knows not of the world around them led simply by the hand of their parent and guardian only able to see the world through their eyes until they too learn to see the world for themselves.
As an artist, this is probably the first and only time i will say a machine has truly created art.
I love these I in Minecraft video's! Hope to see even more in the future :)
Imagine the possibilities this would have if this could analyze real buildings from google maps. Build the earth project could be completed so much quicker. You could have not only cities but every home (on google maps) be built
I just started to watch the video and immediately he says “See those buildings, I’m gonna fly into them” lmao
this is awesome dude, im so invested in this project
If you want to fill a place with the same block just use /fill command instant of placing every block with /setblock .
I want to see more of these ai minecraft videos
9:38 the music combined with "built it on top of failed pyramids" is so emotional.. makes me want to cry. Stellar video !!
The failed pyramids actually worked out in their favor too, like a supporting platform that made it look better I love it
I have a question, how do I get them to build all this in my Minecraft world is there like a tutorial?
You could use a greedy-meshing-like approach (but with volumes instead of faces) to post-process the AI's output into chunks of the same block type. Then you can use fill commands to place multiple blocks at once, which would make it much faster.
Btw I believe you can also disable chat messages for commands, so the chat is not spammed with setblock messages.
Hello, @EmergentGarden. How it would be setting an AI Minecraft bot in wild there and making it learn by itself from its mistakes via machine learning? This idea fascinates me. Great videos, by the way.
giving them the capability to use /fill would allow for more efficiency and maybe versatility than individual /setblocks, (and with it, more destructive power, of course)
Could you hook one model up to the other, so that one gives prompts while the other builds? I'd love to see what happens if they were just allowed to build structures for 30 minutes or so
This video makes me feel very uncomfortable in a strange way. Seeing these megastructures knowing that no human being was involved in the block to block generation of them. It's like finding ancient structures that have no history or meaning. The feeling of alone-ness evoked by bleak, programmatic structures with none of the chaos or intent that marks a place as human.
Each one of these structures feels like they could be the last building at the end of the world, or maybe I'm just off my meds.
In a game already as lonely and melancholy as minecraft, these structures almost feel more desolate to me than if the desert had been empty.
None of this is a mark against the video or project, mind you, I think this is extremely interesting and the video is well presented. I just wanted to share how the structures made me feel.
wow another upload! so quick!! 😁
I still see a huge gap with AI; it cannot SEE what it is building as it's making it. there isn't even a workaround (that I can think of) for this, which means that they will continuously be unable to notice and fix their own bugs in their code
If you watched one of the previous videos, Claude realized it made a mistake in the middle of building and tried to correct it, only it ended up building the second house into the first house
Cool stuff!
You: hmm interesting its made out of concrete, glass and glowstone
Also you: please build it out of concrete, glass and glowstone
This guy is a legend, in less than 30 seconds in he already made a two tower joke that includes planes. (You know what i mean)
Im hoping one day you can fill minecraft with 100 bots and watch the chaos unfold
Love these videos, keep them up!
I wonder if the Ai could use world edit to do stuff?
Genuinely one of the best things I've seen done with AI, this has actually given me build ideas
if you are making the pyramids this massive you might as well try to make them like the ones at giza. counting the bottom, they have NINE sides, not 5, and the sides that form the point are "dented in" so it creates a shadow halfway on each wall at high noon on the equinox
I have an idea 💡. To enhance AI builders, you should integrate versioning capabilities. This will enable them to receive feedback on their performance and analyze real-world data effectively.
Nice video ! You should try the Mistral LLM
I have! Unfortunately it's not good, almost unplayable
Make different ai’s go into hardcore mode and see which one survives
I do not know how you do this, but I have another option: use AHK
you should make a survival world and have the bots a helpers
I just hope one day the AI can play on its own in survival. Would be amazing to see
This is the good shit. You can't judge an AI's intelligence by talking to it... instead you must watch it create
if you count predicting the next tokens contextually as true intelligence sure
I think output performance might be a better phrase
i genuinely wonder how the AI of each of the bots would fight against each other, what techniques they would use
Great video, as always! :3
this is by far my most anticipated AI projects. I canot wait to try it in the future when it's a bit more stable and easy to use
Looking forward to the setup tutorial!
Could you use claude 3.5 which is the new best model?
this makes me think of future AI "archaeology". imagine advanced AIs hundreds of years from now tracing back the evolution of AI designed architecture to these Minecraft structures...
I love these Ai building stuff in minecraft videos
