Basic Concepts

The basic flow of creating a Minecraft bot with Clojurecraft looks like this:

  • Connect to a Minecraft server to get a Bot object.
  • Define and add events handlers to the bot.
  • Define and add loops to the bot.
  • Let the bot do its thing.
  • Disconnect the bot from the server.

You can also manually tell a bot to perform actions from a REPL.

Connecting

You can connect to a Minecraft server with the connect function:

(clojurecraft.core/connect {:name "hostname" :port INT} "username")

You can also pass nil as a username to get a random string of letters.

When you connect to a server you get a Bot object back. Once you’ve got a bot you can query it for data about its world, tell it to perform actions, and add event handlers and loops.

Event Handlers

Event handlers are functions that let your bot react to things that happen in the world. Check out the Event Handlers page for more information.

Loops

Loops are functions that run every N milliseconds and let your bot query the world and perform actions. Check out the Loops page for more information.

Disconnecting

To disconnect a bot from the server you simply call the disconnect function:

(clojurecraft.core/disconnect bot)
