mc-respawn_skill

Overview

This skill resets the bot's embodiment after in-game death to enable immediate recovery and continued operation. It restores health and position to the spawn point or bed location and returns a concise acknowledgement. Designed for quick lifecycle recovery, it signals success via a machine-readable result. Use it as the final step in an automated respawn flow.

How this skill works

When invoked, the skill triggers the game respawn behavior and reinitializes death-related state: health, position, and basic embodiment flags. It returns immediately with a uniform_return that includes a human-readable acknowledgement and a structured data object containing a success boolean. The skill does not require input parameters; it ignores the provided value and focuses on restoring the bot to a valid post-death state. After respawn, verify state with a status check.

When to use it

• Immediately after detecting death via mc-status
• As part of an automated recovery workflow
• Before attempting to re-equip or resume tasks
• When you need a deterministic reset to spawn or bed location

Best practices

• Call only after a reliable death detection to avoid unnecessary resets
• Run mc-status after respawn to verify health and position
• Be prepared for inventory loss depending on game mode and configure recovery accordingly
• Combine with re-equipping and navigation routines after successful respawn

Example use cases

• Automated bot that continues tasks after dying: trigger respawn and then resume job queue
• Server crash testing where bots are intentionally killed and must respawn cleanly
• Training scenarios that require repeated death-and-respawn cycles
• Recovery sequence for exploration bots that lose position on death
