Setting Up the Environment
Before we begin, we need to ensure that our environment is properly set up. This includes installing Node.js and any other dependencies required for the project. We will provide the necessary downloads and instructions in the description below the video. Once we have everything installed, we can proceed to create our bot.
Installing MindFlare
To create a Minecraft bot, we will be using the MindFlare library. MindFlare provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for interacting with Minecraft servers. We will install MindFlare using npm, the Package manager for Node.js. In the terminal, navigate to your bot's project folder and run the command npm install mindflayer to install MindFlare.
Creating the Bot
Now that MindFlare is installed, we can start coding our bot. Open your preferred code editor and create a new file named index.js or main.js. In this file, we will import MindFlare using the require statement and create an instance of the bot.
const mindflare = require('mindflayer');
const bot = mindflare.createBot();
Connecting to Minecraft
To connect our bot to Minecraft, we need to specify the server address and the port. This can be done by adding the following code:
bot.connect('localhost', 25565);
Replace localhost with the IP address or domain name of your Minecraft server, and 25565 with the appropriate port number.
Making the Bot Interact with the Player
Now let's make our bot interact with the player. We will create a function called lookAtPlayer that will make the bot continuously look at the player's position.
function lookAtPlayer() {
const player = bot.nearestEntity((entity) => entity.type === 'player');
if (player) {
const position = player.position.offset(0, 1.65, 0);
bot.lookAt(position);
}
}
To make the bot continuously call this function, we can use the bot.on('tick', lookAtPlayer) event.
bot.on('tick', lookAtPlayer);
Making the Bot Speak
We can also make our bot communicate with the server by sending chat messages. Let's make our bot say "Hello server!" when it spawns in the world.
bot.on('spawn', () => {
bot.chat('Hello server!');
});
