Draco18s you are very shrewd , you unraveled me completely. I haven't played any mods, whats more I dare to say I do not intend (unless I write my own).
[*]
Can client mod play with original server unrecognized by server or it's impossible ?
[*]Does client AI mod playing server mode see whole world, or only this what human player can see? Eg can AI mod see several levels underground (unlike human), or not ?
[*]More generally, would such AI (only on client side) vs human be fair (had the same or less information/possibilities) or not (had more information/possibilities)
[*]How AI can get know of appearing mobs, are there any events sent when mob appears in some distance, or AI would have to check every qube in area of interest
[*]Would it be possible to attack mobs with such AI ?
Sorry for asking ignorant questions, but I wouldn't like to dive into forge to find out, that it's not a right tool for my purpose.
I have a good knowledge of java. I would like to write simple AI supporting player in some tasks, eg auto mining of materials and putting them into chest - good to dig diamonds for several hours. Why would it be complicated to write such a simple supporting AI ? Is it a problem of forge API not supporting such purpose?
