mineflayer-blockfinder

A library to help your mineflayer bot find blocks in the 3D world.

See mineflayer.

Usage

var mineflayer = require('mineflayer');
var blockFinderPlugin = require('mineflayer-blockfinder')(mineflayer);
var bot = mineflayer.createBot({username: 'Player'});

// Install the plugin
blockFinderPlugin(bot);

// Sample usage
bot.once('spawn', function() {
  bot.findBlock({
    point: bot.entity.position,
    matching: 56,
    maxDistance: 256,
    count: 1,
  }, function(err, blocks) {
    if (err) {
      return bot.chat('Error trying to find Diamond Ore: ' + err);
      bot.quit('quitting');
      return;
    }
    if (blocks.length) {
      bot.chat('I found a Diamond Ore block at ' + blocks[0].position + '.');
      bot.quit('quitting');
      return;
    } else {
      bot.chat("I couldn't find any Diamond Ore blocks within 256.");
      bot.quit('quitting');
      return;
    }
  });
});

• Visual C++ 2015 build tools: http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools

• A version of Visual Studio: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/

Documentation

bot.findBlock(options, callback)

Finds the nearest block(s) to the given point.

• options - Additional options for the search:
  • point - The start position of the search.
  • matching - A function that returns true if the given block is a match. Also supports this value being a block id or array of block ids.
  • maxDistance - The furthest distance for the search, defaults to 64.
  • count - The number of blocks to find at most, defaults to 1.
• callback - A callback function to get the result. Function signature:

function(err, arrayOfPoints)

bot.findBlockSync(options)

Finds the nearest block(s) to the given point synchronously.

• options - See bot.findBlock.

History

0.0.7

• DiamondFinder tested working, fix another issue related to recursion.

0.0.6

• Fix recursion issue (thanks to rom1504)

0.0.5

• Added new OctahedronIterator class, a fast finder algorithm that always returns the closest block, and is comparable with the cube algorithm.

0.0.4

• Reverted algorithm to use the old, fast cube algorithm.

0.0.3

• Fix 'matching' option to allow for array of ids instead of crashing.

0.0.2

• Refactored algorithm to use an Iterator approach, to allow for re-useable code.
• Rewrote block finding algorithm to guarantee the closest block is always found first.
• Matching argument now takes an array of block ids, instead of block enums.
