mining bot

[Skided]

please do that they can put items they catch in chest and please make automine bots

[MrKinau]

This bot is not intended to do other things except fishing, but I don't know if there are other bots for mining etc out. Maybe I will extend the functionality if there is nothing else out. The thing with the chest is not really important, because you can build a simple setup with a hopper (like normal afk fishing farms) that collects everything

[MrKinau]

Havent found any good free mining bots. I am working on an mining implementation, but I cant promise that it will be added in the future.

[gargamelbot]

the mining feature will be soon?

[MrKinau]

Not soon. Sorry to say that. I've started to code and it's much work. As I last worked on it I was able to let the bot mine straight forward and it won't kill itself with falling blocks, but there are other difficulties it have to pass like water/lava etc. Overall it's just much work and I have done this only for the 1.8. To the 1.14. are at least 2 major chunk protocol changes that I have to understand and implement.

To summarize it: I'm still interested in this feature and it might come someday, but currently I have not that much time, because I also have several other projects (e.g. from university) which are more important. Sorry

You can take some codes from baritone

[MrKinau]

Baritone looks to be some kind of mod and so don't have to handle the protocol and can use Minecraft methods. I can't use the protocol like baritone. This bot is somekind of a new mc client. The whole packet handling is self-made (or stolen from some other projects like TorchBot)

[MrKinau]

As there is an interest for such feature, I'm focusing on an implementation.

Current progress is this: https://youtu.be/Z4IJXCul8zk

[gargamelbot]

what is the progress

[MrKinau]

Haven't spent much time on it. It's still only 1.8.X, some things I added is Gravity and block placement to avoid lava/water, but this doesn't work well, because of the vanilla anti-cheat I think. But it's only a prototype atm. Before it could be merged into this project, the project need to split up into multiple modules (e.g. simple bot (does nothing, just authentication and server join), fishing bot and mining bot). That needs much time to refactor and atm I am still having projects at university, which costs much of my time. Another big step is to make this feature available for all versions (I've read that the newer Chunk packet (1.14+ i think) isn't easy to implement).

[MrKinau]

Well I just worked on it today a little bit: https://youtu.be/V641ZxmTvvg

BUT it's just a prototype. Main problem is that the player still dies pretty fast.

Do you have a branch with your work?

[MrKinau]

The branch feature/mining is targetting the current progress. It's currently not usable for productive usage and only implements chunk / inventory handling + simple mining. I will work on it if the base is more modular and not only a Only-Fishingbot. Maybe I'll find some time to do this with the 1.16 release

[matthewfcarlson]

No worries- I understand the time pressures that come from university and life

[Nidelon]

You already need to transfer this to another project or connect them, but then you will get a bot not for fishing :)

[MrKinau]

Want to keep the issues only fishing related. I think (as it is over a year ago) I am not confident enough to do this. Sorry
