Bot Contest Ideas

Capture the Sheep

Schematic building

Everyone is given a .schematic for some building, and their bot needs to build it with no user intervention.

Different difficulty levels, like:

• "simple" blocks only
• fluids
• orientation-sensitive blocks
• mining out blocks that are air in the schematic

Different gamemodes:

• survival
• creative

Gather a block/all blocks

Race to the nether

Everybody starts with an empty inventory and tries to get to the nether before everyone else.

Two modes:

• challenge: you play alone in the world
• competitive: everyone is on the same map and may interact (killing or temporarely cooperating)
