Say hello to our new Random Starting Inventory feature!

Now, you might be thinking “But wait a minute, isn’t starting with basic tools and resources like stone axes and pickaxes enough for my agent to learn how to survive in this harsh Minecraft world?” And the answer is… yes, but also no. You see, sometimes your agent needs a little extra help to get started on their quest for survival and exploration. That’s where our Random Starting Inventory comes in!

Here’s how it works: when you start a new experiment or training session, instead of giving your agent the same boring inventory every time (which can lead to overfitting), we randomly generate an inventory based on certain criteria like item type and quantity. This ensures that each run is unique and challenging for your AI agent!

Our Random Starting Inventory feature also allows you to customize the items in your starting inventory by adding or removing specific items using a simple configuration file (which we’ll cover later). So whether you want your agents to start with some basic tools and resources like stone axes and pickaxes, or you prefer to give them more advanced items like chests and furnaces right from the get-go, our Random Starting Inventory feature has got you covered!

So how do we use this new feature in practice? Well, let’s say you want to train your AI agent on a specific task (like building a house or mining for resources) using reinforcement learning. First, you would create a new experiment configuration file that specifies the starting inventory and other settings like world size and difficulty level. Then, you would run the experiment using our custom-built Minecraft RL framework, which automatically generates a unique starting inventory based on your specified criteria!

And that’s it! With our Random Starting Inventory feature, training AI agents in Minecraft has never been easier or more fun! So why wait? Start exploring the world of Minecraft reinforcement learning today and see what kind of amazing creations you can build with the help of our new starting inventory feature!
