The Next Generation of Minecraft Bot

A C++20/Python Minecraft bot under heavy development. If you don’t like what you see today, come back tomorrow! Features are arriving fast!

Things Riker can do today:

• Full protocol support, including authentication, targeting the latest protocol supported by minecraft-data (currently 1.16.5)

• Parse world updates and provide an accessible interface to block data

Why build Riker and not work on an existing project?:

• Built from the ground up around code generation. This makes the maintenance burden of keeping up with Mojang much lower than some other projects.

• Fun and Accessible Python API when you want it, High Performance C++ API when you need it.

• If you want to build a modern Minecraft bot using only open source technology (not modding the Mojang client, Malmo-style), your only option today is Mineflayer. Mineflayer and all of PrismarineJS are excellent projects, but maybe you’re not a NodeJS programmer. RikerBot brings much needed diversity to the Minecraft bot ecosystem.

Feature Roadmap:

• Physics :running:

• Pathfinding

Framework Nice-To-Haves (things to work on when features are done):

• Multi-threaded job system

• More packets accessible in Python

Housekeeping (Good projects for new people!):

• Spin mcd2cpp out into its own project

• Default settings parser

• CI builds and push to PyPI

• Docs, Docs, Docs, Docs, Docs!
