DEPS: A simple trick that helps game agents plan better in Minecraft and beyond
Imagine a bot in Minecraft that not only makes a plan, but also watches, explains, and fixes itself when things go wrong.
That is what DEPS does — it makes virtual helpers describe what they try, add a brief Explain step when they fail, rework the Plan, and then pick the easiest next move with a learned goal selector.
The system uses smart text AIs to guide long, multi-step tasks, and it learns which small goals are quicker or harder to finish, so plans get simpler and more likely to work.
The result, surprisingly, is a big jump in success — agents can complete 70+ Minecraft tasks without extra training, and the idea also helps in other toy worlds and table-top tests.
It’s like giving a robot the habit of saying what it did, why it failed, and then choosing a better next step.
Small change, big impact; makes game agents smarter and more helpful, with less guesswork and more wins.
