mc-craft_skill

Overview

This skill performs in-game crafting using the Mineflayer recipe system. It attempts to craft the requested Minecraft item using materials in the bot’s inventory and returns a clear success or failure result. The skill supports crafting counts and reports machine-readable output for automation.

How this skill works

The skill accepts a recipe or item name and an optional count, then queries the Mineflayer recipe system to perform the craft. It checks inventory materials and uses a crafting table if required (the table must be opened beforehand for table-only recipes). On completion it returns a structured result indicating success, the item crafted, and the number produced.

When to use it

• Automate creation of tools, blocks, or consumables from inventory materials
• Batch-crafting multiple items (using the count parameter)
• Integrating crafting into larger automation flows or bots
• When you have confirmed available materials via an inventory check

Best practices

• Run an inventory check (mc-inventory) before crafting to avoid wasted attempts
• Use exact Minecraft item names (e.g., "minecraft:stick") for reliable matching
• Open a crafting table (mc-open) first for recipes that require it
• Specify count only when you have enough materials to craft multiple items
• Handle failure responses programmatically to trigger material gathering or alternative actions

Example use cases

• Craft 4 sticks from wood using recipe: {"type":"mc-craft","recipe":"minecraft:stick","count":4}
• Produce a wooden pickaxe for mining: {"type":"mc-craft","value":"minecraft:wooden_pickaxe"}
• Batch-create torches or food items as part of a base setup routine
• Embed crafting step in automation scripts that gather materials, then craft the required items
