Introduction

Welcome to another video on creating a Minecraft bot with Mind Flare. In this tutorial, we will be using Node.js and JavaScript to build a bot that can perform various actions in the game. Before we dive into the coding part, make sure you have downloaded Node.js and any other required dependencies Mentioned in the description.

Setting Up the Environment

To start, Create a new folder named "Minecraft Bot" and open it in your preferred code editor. In this tutorial, I'll be using Visual Studio Code. Open a new terminal and run npm init to initialize a new Node.js Package with default settings. This will create a package.json file in your project folder.

Installing Mind Flare

Next, we need to install the Mind Flare package. Run npm install mineflayer in the terminal to download and install the necessary files. Once the installation is complete, you should see the package added to your package.json file.

Creating the Bot

In the root of your project folder, create a new file named index.js or main.js. This will be the main file where we write our bot code. Start by requiring the Mind Flare package using the following code:

const mineflayer = require('mineflayer');

This line of code imports the Mind Flare package and assigns it to a variable for easy access in our code.

Connecting to Minecraft Local Host

To connect to your Minecraft game, we need to set up the bot's connection details. Add the following code to your index.js file:

const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 59044,
  username: 'your_username'
});

Replace 'your_username' with your desired username for the bot. Make sure you have already created a single-player world in Minecraft and have allowed cheats in the options. Note down the port number displayed when you open the world to LAN.

Making the Player Look at You

Now, let's make the bot's player look at your character. Add the following code to your index.js file:

function lookAtPlayer() {
  const playerEntity = bot.nearestEntity(entity => entity.type === 'player');
  if (playerEntity) {
    const position = playerEntity.position.offset(0, playerEntity.height, 0);
    bot.lookAt(position);
  }
}

bot.on('spawn', lookAtPlayer);

This code defines a function lookAtPlayer() that finds the nearest player entity and makes the bot's player look at them. The bot.on('spawn', lookAtPlayer) line ensures that this function is called whenever the bot spawns in the game.

Making the Bot Speak

Next, let's make the bot speak a message when it spawns in the game. Add the following line of code inside the bot.on('spawn', ...) function:

bot.chat('Hello, server! This is my bot speaking.');

Feel free to change the message to whatever you like. Now, when you run the bot using node index.js in the terminal, you should see the bot spawn in the game and say the provided message.
