Fri, 05 Apr 2024 16:00:00 +0800

🤖 Meet the .NET Companion Bot

Building intelligent NPC companions and assistant bots brings an entirely new dimension to Minecraft survival realms!

🔧 Architecture & Tech Stack

Runtime: .NET 8 C# Core
Packet Protocol: Minecraft Client/Server Protocol (Bedrock & Java Bridge)
Pathfinding: A* 3D Grid Search algorithm taking gravity, jumps, and hazard blocks (lava, cactus) into account.

🌟 Bot Capabilities

Auto-Mining Mode: Safely traces ores and mines designated cube areas while reporting chest fullness.
Bodyguard Protocol: Detects Creepers and hostile mobs within a 16-block radius, providing knockback support.
Chat Commands: Responds to in-game chat instructions like !come, !mine iron, !guard base, and !deposit.

// Example: Companion Bot Pathfinding Event
public async Task OnHostileDetected(Entity mob)
{
 if (mob.Type == EntityType.Creeper && DistanceTo(mob) < 10)
 {
 await EquipItem(ItemType.DiamondSword);
 await PlaySound("entity.player.attack.strong");
 await MoveToTarget(mob.Position);
 }
}

Zero-Lag Multi-Item Redstone Sorter & Storage Vault

⚡ Engineering Clean Redstone Systems

Managing thousands of blocks in Minecraft can quickly become messy. This guide breaks down the engineering behind our Citadel’s 64-item multi-category sorting system.

⚙️ Core Logic Diagram

Each hopper filter utilizes the classic ImpulseSV 41-item comparator lockout circuit:

Top Hopper: Holds 41 target filter items + 4 named placeholder items (e.g. named sticks).
Comparator: Detects signal strength when a 46th item enters (raising output from 2 to 3).
Repeater & Redstone Torch: Momentarily unlocks the lower hopper, depositing exactly 1 item into the storage chest.

Redstone Pro Tip: Always use droppers and water streams instead of long horizontal hopper lines to reduce server tick lag by up to 80%!
