The original data mirrors for MineRL-v0 are down (e.g., original MineRLObtainDiamond-v0 data). We have uploaded copies of the primary datasets to this Zenodo record so people can find them: https://zenodo.org/records/12659939
MineRL consists of three unique versions, each with a slightly different sets of features. See full comparison here.
- v1.0: [Code][Docs] This version you are looking at. Needed for the OpenAI VPT models and the MineRL BASALT 2022 competition.
- v0.4: [Code][Docs]
Version used in the 2021 competitions (Diamond and BASALT). Supports the original MineRL-v0 dataset. Install with
pip install minerl==0.4.4 - v0.3: [Code][Docs]
Version used prior to 2021, including the first two MineRL competitions (2019 and 2020). Supports the original MineRL-v0 dataset. Install with
pip install minerl==0.3.7
Install requirements (Java JDK 8 is required. Mac may require additional steps) and then install MineRL with
pip install git+https://github.com/minerllabs/minerl
Can be used much like any Gym environment:
import gym
import minerl
# Uncomment to see more logs of the MineRL launch
# import coloredlogs
# coloredlogs.install(logging.DEBUG)
env = gym.make("MineRLBasaltBuildVillageHouse-v0")
obs = env.reset()
done = False
while not done:
ac = env.action_space.noop()
# Spin around to see what is around us
ac["camera"] = [0, 3]
obs, reward, done, info = env.step(ac)
env.render()
env.close()Check the documentation for further examples and notes.
- New Minecraft version (11.2 -> 16.5)
- Larger resolution by default (64x64 -> 640x360)
- Near-human action-space: no more
craftandsmeltactions. Only GUI and mouse control (camera action moves mouse around). - Observation space is only pixels, no more inventory observation by default.
