Pathfinding plugin for the Minecraft Bot API Mineflayer. Create static, dynamic or composite goals to navigate Minecraft terrain fully autonomously.
Mostly stable. Feel free to contribute by making suggestions or posting issues.
npm install mineflayer-pathfinder
For a basic explanation of how to use mineflayer-pathfinder, you can read this tutorial.
For a video tutorial explaining the usage of mineflayer-pathfinder, you can watch the following Youtube videos:
const mineflayer = require('mineflayer')
const pathfinder = require('mineflayer-pathfinder').pathfinder
const Movements = require('mineflayer-pathfinder').Movements
const { GoalNear } = require('mineflayer-pathfinder').goals
const bot = mineflayer.createBot({ username: 'Player' })
bot.loadPlugin(pathfinder)
bot.once('spawn', () => {
const defaultMove = new Movements(bot)
bot.on('chat', function(username, message) {
if (username === bot.username) return
const target = bot.players[username] ? bot.players[username].entity : null
if (message === 'come') {
if (!target) {
bot.chat('I don\'t see you !')
return
}
const p = target.position
bot.pathfinder.setMovements(defaultMove)
bot.pathfinder.setGoal(new GoalNear(p.x, p.y, p.z, 1))
}
})
})
Considering there are a lot of deep changes that are being worked on, it could take some time before it's done
Also, for now, there is only the pathfinder
module, movements
and goals
still need to be done
Returns a Promise with the path result. Resolves when the goal is reached. Rejects on error.
goal
- Goal instanceReturns the best harvesting tool in the inventory for the specified block.
Returns
- Item
instance or null
block
- Block instanceReturns
- The pathmovements
- Movements instancegoal
- Goal instancetimeout
- number (optional, default bot.pathfinder.thinkTimeout
)Returns a Generator. The generator computes the path for as longs as no full path is found or options.timeout
is reached.
The generator will block the event loop until a path is found or options.tickTimeout
(default to 50ms) is reached.
Returns
- A generator instance. See MDN function*.movements
- Movements instancestartPos
- A Vec3 instance. The starting position to base the path search from. goal
- Goal instanceoptions
- A optional options object contains:
optimizePath
- Boolean Optional. Optimize path for shortcuts like going to the next node in a strait line instead walking only diagonal or along axis.resetEntityIntersects
- Boolean Optional. Reset the entityIntersections
index for movements
. Default: truetimeout
- Number Optional. Total computation timeout.tickTimeout
- Number Optional. Maximum amount off time before yielding.searchRadius
- Number Optional. Max distance to search.startMove
- instance of Move Optional. A optional starting position as a Move. Replaces startPos
as the starting position.goal
- Goal instancedynamic
- boolean (optional, default false)Assigns the movements config.
movements
- Movements instanceStops pathfinding as soon as the bot has reached the next node in the path (this prevents the bot from stopping mid-air). Emits path_stop
when called.
Note: to force stop immediately, use bot.pathfinder.setGoal(null)
A function that checks if the bot is currently moving.
Returns
- booleanA function that checks if the bot is currently mining blocks.
Returns
- booleanA function that checks if the bot is currently placing blocks.
Returns
- booleanThink Timeout in milliseconds.
Default
- 5000
How many milliseconds per tick are allocated to thinking.
Default
- 40
The search limiting radius, in blocks, if -1
the search is not limited by distance.
Default
- -1
This class configures how pathfinder plans its paths. It configures things like block breaking or different costs for moves. This class can be extended to add or change how pathfinder calculates its moves.
Pathfinder instantiates the default movement class by itself if no instance is specified. If you want to change values you should create a new instance of the Movements class, change it's values and set it as pathfinders new movement class.
const { Movements } = require('mineflayer-pathfinder') // Import the Movements class from pathfinder
bot.once('spawn', () => {
// A new movement instance for specific behavior
const defaultMove = new Movements(bot)
defaultMove.allow1by1towers = false // Do not build 1x1 towers when going up
defaultMove.canDig = false // Disable breaking of blocks when pathing
defaultMove.scafoldingBlocks.push(bot.registry.itemsByName['netherrack'].id) // Add nether rack to allowed scaffolding items
bot.pathfinder.setMovements(defaultMove) // Update the movement instance pathfinder uses
// Do pathfinder things
// ...
})
Movement class properties and their default values.
Boolean to allow breaking blocks.
true
Additional cost for breaking blocks.
1
Additional cost for placing blocks.
1
Max drop down distance. Only considers drops that have blocks to land on.
4
Option to ignore maxDropDown distance when the landing position is in water.
true
Additional cost for interacting with liquids.
1
Additional cost for moving through an entity hitbox (besides passable ones).
1
Do not break blocks that touch liquid blocks.
true
Do not break blocks that have a gravityBlock above.
true
Allow pillaring up on 1x1 towers.
true
Allow to walk to the next node/goal in a straight line if terrain allows it.
false
Allow parkour jumps like jumps over gaps bigger then 1 block.
true
Allow sprinting when moving.
true
Test for entities that may obstruct path or prevent block placement. Grabs updated entities every new path.
true
Set of entities (by bot.registry name) to completely avoid when using entity detection.
Set
Set of entities (by bot.registry name) to ignore when using entity detection.
Set
Set of blocks (by bot.registry name) that pathfinder should not attempt to place blocks or 'right click' on.
Set
Set of block id's pathfinder cannot break. Includes chests and all unbreakable blocks.
Set
Set of block id's to avoid.
Set
Set of liquid block id's.
Set
Set of block id's that are climable. Note: Currently unused as pathfinder cannot use climables.
Set

[<scaffoldingItems>]
Set of block id's that can fall on bot's head.
Set
Set of block id's that are fences or blocks that have a collision box taller then 1 block.
Set
Set of all carpet block id's or blocks that have a collision box smaller then 0.1. These blocks are considered safe to walk in.
Set
An array of functions that define an area or block to be step on excluded. Every function in the array is parsed the Block the bot is planing to step on. Each function should return a positive number (includes 0) that defines extra cost for that specific Block. 0 means no extra cost, 100 means it is impossible for pathfinder to consider this move.
(block: Block) => number
An array of functions that define an area or block to be break excluded. Every function in the array is parsed the Block the bot is planing to break. Each function should return a positive number (includes 0) that defines extra cost for that specific Block. 0 means no extra cost, 100 means it is impossible for pathfinder to consider this move.
(block: Block) => number
An array of functions that define an area to be block placement excluded. Every function in the array is parsed the current Block the bot is planing to place a block inside (should be air or a replaceable block most of the time). Each function should return a positive number (includes 0) that defines extra cost for that specific Block. 0 means no extra cost, 100 makes it impossible for pathfinder to consider this move.
(block: Block) => number
A dictionary of the number of entities intersecting each floored block coordinate. Updated automatically for each path, but you may mix in your own entries before calculating a path if desired (generally for testing). To prevent this from being cleared automatically before generating a path,s see the path gen options.
{string: number}
Enable feature to open Fence Gates. Unreliable and known to be buggy.
false
Called when the goal has been reached. Not called for dynamic goals.
Called whenever the path is recalculated. Status may be:
success
a path has been foundpartial
a partial path has been found, computations will continue next ticktimeout
timed outnoPath
no path was foundCalled whenever a new goal is assigned to the pathfinder.
Called when the path is reset, with a reason:
goal_updated
movements_updated
block_updated
chunk_loaded
goal_moved
dig_error
no_scaffolding_blocks
place_error
stuck
Called when the pathing has been stopped by bot.pathfinder.stop()
