Minecraft
A sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios and owned by Microsoft, in which players can freely build, explore, and survive in a voxel-based three-dimensional world. It is one of the best-selling video games in history.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The vast majority of advanced items in Minecraft have wooden tools or a crafting table as prerequisite dependencies, forming a crafting chain that must be unlocked in sequence
LLM-based Minecraft agents such as Voyager and DEPS abstract successfully executed behaviors into a skill library and continuously expand it
MC-EvoBench is a controllable and reproducible evaluation benchmark built in the Minecraft environment for assessing agents' experience-driven self-evolution
Grid-based, rule-clear 3D environments like Minecraft are suitable as sandboxes for evaluating agent planning capabilities because errors are immediately visible, the cost of mistakes is low, and iteration is easy.
A developer created a free Minecraft mod called CraftAI, where players press K to describe a structure in natural language and Claude builds it in the game world, with a one-click undo option.
Crafter is a 2D survival game benchmark inspired by Minecraft, specifically designed to test long-horizon reinforcement learning, with highly sparse and severely delayed rewards.
The NewMinecraftServers platform covers servers from both the Java Edition and Bedrock Edition ecosystems.
Bedrock Edition is the unified cross-platform version released after Microsoft's acquisition, supporting multi-platform connectivity across Windows, mobile, consoles, and more.
Java Edition is the original PC version of Minecraft, known for its open modding ecosystem and highly customizable server environment.
Java Edition and Bedrock Edition are the two major technical branches of Minecraft and are not cross-compatible with each other.
