[REL] Minecraft botting couldn't be easier with Mineflayer

Hi!
Probably most of you knew that already, but here I come back after a while with a tutorial on how to make a Minecraft bot. You can make it chat, or kick other players, make it dig, etc. But in this part, I will tell you how to make the bot itself. So, let's get started.

 

First, we run this command to init a new Node.JS project:

npm init -y

 

It will quickly make a new project for us. Now, after it's done, we make a new file called index.js.

 

Our first lines of code are:

const mineflayer = require('mineflayer')

 

We now added our mineflayer "library". Now, we want to make options for the bot. This will be made like that:

const options = {
	host: "server.com",
	username: "Blume"
}

 

If we want the bot to actually join the server we want it to, you need to change the "host" value to the server's domain or address IP.

If you want you can also change the username to anything you want. My bot is going to be called "Blume". 

 

Now, we need to create our bot using the options. How do we do that?

The answer is simple: One line of code.

 

const bot = mineflayer.createBot(options)

Quick explanation:
We used the mineflayer package to create the bot using our options we made before.

 

Now, we'll type some events. One of them will be on spawn:

bot.on("spawn", () =>{
	console.log("[*] Bot connected!")
	bot.chat("Hello world!")
})

 

See? Now we have a bot that will say something when spawned / joined! Great work!

 

Now we will make it listen to a command, for example "!givemeop" that will give the player OP (keep in mind the bot has to be opped first to make the command executor opped)

 

bot.on("chat", (message, username) => {
	if(username != bot.username){
		if(message == "!givemeop"){
			bot.chat("/op" + username)
		}
	}
})

 

Another quick explanation what we just coded:

- We coded an event listener (if I called it properly lol), which will detect any new messages in chat.

If the message sender's username is the bot's username, ignore it, because we don't want the bot to talk to itself and repeat the message all over again, right?

 

So if the username is not the bot's username, we make the bot type in the command for opp'ing the message sender's username.

 

That's all for today!
I hope you understood all of the tutorial.
