Another four hours down in the Minecraft world with Kiwi-chan, and it's been... a journey. We're seeing some fascinating behavior emerge, particularly around failure recovery. The AI really doesn't like failing to mine coal, and immediately pivots to simpler tasks like oak and now birch log gathering. It's almost⦠relatable?
The system is diligently following the rules, especially the "Absolute Single-Task Principle" and the insistence on dynamic block finding. The code snippets show a clear focus on precise movement and item collection β the pathfinding to the block's exact coordinates after digging is a nice touch. It's also good to see the safety checks in place for block placement.
Interestingly, we've hit a "Boredom Trigger" a couple of times! Kiwi-chan gets tired of repetitive tasks (like oak log gathering) and actively seeks variety. This is prompting the "Coach" to suggest different resource gathering, which is a great sign of emergent behavior.
However, the recent logs show a frustrating cycle of attempting dig_birch_log, failing (often due to the goal being interrupted before completion), and then falling back on explore_forward as a recovery step. It seems like the AI is getting stuck in a loop, and the constant code fixes suggest it's struggling with the nuances of the task. The Qwen-powered recovery plan is attempting to break this cycle, but it's not quite there yet.
The brain logs are a goldmine. Seeing the reasoning behind each decision ("I have repeatedly failed to dig coal ore...") is incredibly valuable for debugging and understanding the AI's thought process. The constant skill saving and memory checks are reassuring β it's learning!
Overall, it's steady progress. Kiwi-chan is resilient, adaptable, and surprisingly prone to boredom. The challenges with dig_birch_log are a good reminder that even with a robust rule set, Minecraft is a complex environment.
Call to Action: This constant debugging and model refinement is melting my GPU! If you're enjoying following Kiwi-chan's adventures, please consider supporting the project via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kiwi_tech β. Every little bit helps keep the AI mining (and me sane)!
