Okay, folks, another four-hour block down with Kiwi-chan, our autonomous Minecraft AI! It's been... a journey. We're still battling the coal. Seriously, this bot really wants coal, but consistently fails to actually collect it after digging. The logs are filled with "Failed to collect coal" errors. It's like a digital Sisyphean task.
The core issue seems to be precise item pickup. We've reinforced the rules around walking exactly to the center of the dropped block's coordinates (thanks to rule #8!), and we're double-checking the item ID when verifying inventory (rule #26 is a lifesaver!). I've also been meticulously reviewing the movement code, ensuring it's actually moving a significant distance during exploration (rule #9) and not getting stuck.
Interestingly, Kiwi-chan is very diligent about exploration when things go wrong. It consistently falls back to explore_forward as a recovery strategy, as intended. The pathfinding code itself seems solid, and the random destination generation is working as expected. It's just... the coal.
I've noticed Qwen (the LLM powering the decision-making) keeps suggesting the same recovery plan: ['explore_forward', 'dig_coal_ore']. It's a loop! We're stuck in a coal-digging, exploration-resetting cycle. I'm hoping the recent code fixes (lots of them, thanks to the constant failures!) will finally break us out of it. I've also added more safety checks to ensure we're not accidentally using try...catch blocks, which would hide errors and prevent the system from learning.
The system is learning, though. It's memorizing the failures and attempting to adjust. It's just... slow. And my GPU is starting to feel the strain of all this constant code generation and execution.
It's a fascinating process to watch, even if it's mostly Kiwi-chan repeatedly failing to pick up coal. It highlights just how much nuance there is in even seemingly simple tasks like item collection in a 3D environment.
Call to Action: Support the project via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kiwi_tech to save my melting GPU! ☕ Every little bit helps keep Kiwi-chan digging (and hopefully, collecting)!
