Raytrace Block Method

[LMC21]

I saw a video from Two Minute Papers earlier today about minecraft being played by an AI. I am going to give it a go myself and create a very lightweight version, I am going to look after the training myself so just imagine anything going to console is input data. Here is my code so far and I am stuck getting where my raycasts collide with a block: https://pastebin.com/SH0jZQPU Sorry my code is messy, i know some Java, more C++ than Java, but this is for a school project and i am really struggling at completing these last couple of lines  - Any help would be appreciated.

 

Any questions about the idea, please ask

The past does not exists

Your pastebin doesn't exist.

Anyway, look at Entity.pick() - the entity would be whatever is relevant for the player - e.g. Minecraft.getInstance().cameraEntity if you are client side.

Still does not work

The link should be: https://pastebin.com/SH0jZQPU

It looks like debug code, it is just dumping a lot of game state every player tick?

The relevant code is at the bottom, where it is trying to do something similar to Entity.pick().

But I guess using one of the static methods in BlockPos would be a more efficient method to find the blocks near the player's position.

By the way, if you are writing an AI, you probably want to look at the Mob AI code that Minecraft already has.

Otherwise you are going to be re-inventing a lot of stuff.
