Unlock Hidden Minecraft Trees: Harnessing AI-Powered Computer Vision Techniques

Introduction

Introduction

In the world of gaming, Minecraft stands out as one of the most iconic and beloved games, offering endless opportunities for creativity and exploration. One of the most repetitive tasks in Minecraft is gathering materials, which can be tedious and take a long time. One fun technical solution is to use computer vision to build a video game controller. In recent years, computer vision has exponentially improved, offering a wide range of capabilities in many fields. Therefore, with computer vision, we are able to create a simple wood mining script for Minecraft.

Step 1: Train a Model to Identify Wood Blocks

Step #1: Train a Model to Identify Wood Blocks

First, sign up for Roboflow and create an account. Next, go to workspaces and create a project. Customize the project name and annotation group to your choice. Make sure to create an object detection project.

Step 2: Create a Workflow

Step #2: Create a Workflow

At the end of this step, our workflow will be able to: detect the trees, detect the crosshair. The overall Workflow will look similar to this:

Step 3: Download and Import Libraries

Step #3: Download and Import Libraries

In this step, we will begin to download the needed libraries in order to start programming. First download the necessary libraries:

• pip install supervision inference numpy pyautogui
• Next, import the libraries to a new script your preferred code editor:

Step 4: Create the Detection and Mining Functions

Step #4: Create the Detection and Mining Functions

In order to see our detections, we need to use the Supervision library. Supervision offers a comprehensive list of resources for all your computer vision needs. This library will help us easily implement the visuals of the detected trees and crosshairs.

Step 5: Create Main Application Logic

Step #5: Create Main Application Logic

In this function, we will predict where the closest tree is relative to your crosshair, and then mine the tree. First, get your deployment code and use the hosted api option.

Conclusion

Conclusion

By following this guide, you have successfully created your own wood mining script for Minecraft using computer vision. Throughout this tutorial, you’ve learned how to build a functional Roboflow model, set up a Workflow, and implement directional logic to automate tasks in Minecraft.
