It learnsMinecraftby living it.

Reicraft gives Adapt-1, a learning engine from REI Labs, a body in Minecraft. Code does the hands and follows the game's own recipes; the calls that keep it alive are Adapt-1's, learned from what happens to it. Being built now, to learn live on stream.

01/How it works

The hands are code. The calls are its own.

  1. 01

    The body

    Code walks, mines, crafts and builds, and follows the game's own recipes and advancement tree, like a player who read the wiki. It is disclosed.

  2. 02

    The brain

    Adapt-1 makes the calls that decide how a life goes, and learns how each option turns out, from its own lives only.

  3. 03

    The memory

    From its failures and deaths it forms rules, shown in its own returned words.

02/The calls

The calls that decide a life.

A player who read the wiki knows the recipes. What makes a player good is judgment, and that is what Adapt-1 is given to learn: a few options each time, and how each one turned out.

  1. 01

    Meeting a mob

    Fight, shoot, run, or wall itself in.

  2. 02

    Dusk, far from home

    Go back, or dig in where it stands.

  3. 03

    Going down

    How deep to mine, and how.

  4. 04

    The night

    Sleep at home, shelter, or work by torchlight.

  5. 05

    After a death

    Go back for its things, gear up first, or start again.

  6. 06

    A new stage

    Ready for the Nether, or not yet.

It starts with the calls that make the most difference, picked by tests before it plays live.

03/What it is not

What it is not.

Not a language model.
No prompt, no text memory and no generated code in its decisions.
Not a speedrun.
Survival on Normal in a fresh random world: no commands, no teleports.
Not steered.
Nobody types its goals.
Not perfect.
Its deaths, stuck minutes and restarts will be counted on screen.
Not the brain that started.
Its first-life self will be kept frozen, to compare.

04/Where it stands

It has not learned live yet.

The body and the brain are being built and tested on their own first, so the brain never learns the body's mistakes. Its first live lessons come next, on a world of its own. No dates: it goes live when it is ready.

  1. Now

    The body

    Being built: hands that walk, mine, craft and build, fluent enough to be worth watching.

  2. Now

    The brain

    Being readied: Adapt-1 makes the calls that keep it alive and learns from what happens to it.

  3. Next

    First lessons

    Its first live learning runs, on a world of its own.

  4. Later

    On stream

    Every decision on screen as it happens, and what it learned from it.

  5. Goal

    The dragon

    From a bare spawn to the end of the game, on what it learned.

Fig. 03/How its lives will be shown: each line one life, each cross where it endedIllustration: no life has run yet

05/How you will watch

Live, on stream, with its brain on screen.

When it learns live, the stream shows the game and the brain together, simple by default and in detail on demand. Every number on it will be a value Adapt-1 returned, or marked as derived from them.

  • The call on screen

    Its options as it has learned them, its choice, and how it turned out.

    Coming

  • The rules it forms

    As it forms them, in its own returned words.

    Coming

  • Every life

    A run log: how far each life got, and what ended it.

    Coming

  • Deaths by cause

    Across its lives, falling or not.

    Coming

  • Its first self

    Beside it, on the same situations.

    Coming

Until then, play it.

Adapt-1 already learns from people in the Arena.
