API

Enums

These enums are stored in the language independent minecraft-data project, and accessed through node-minecraft-data.

minecraft-data

The data is available in node-minecraft-data module

require('minecraft-data')(bot.version) gives you access to it.

mcdata.blocks

blocks indexed by id

mcdata.items

items indexed by id

mcdata.materials

The key is the material. The value is an object with the key as the item id of the tool and the value as the efficiency multiplier.

mcdata.recipes

recipes indexed by id

mcdata.instruments

instruments indexed by id

mcdata.biomes

biomes indexed by id

mcdata.entities

entities indexed by id

Classes

vec3

See andrewrk/node-vec3

All points in mineflayer are supplied as instances of this class.

  • x - south
  • y - up
  • z - west

Functions and methods which require a point argument accept Vec3 instances as well as an array with 3 values, and an object with x, y, and z properties.

mineflayer.Location

Entity

Entities represent players, mobs, and objects. They are emitted in many events, and you can access your own entity with bot.entity. See prismarine-entity

Player Skin Data

The skin data is stored in the skinData property of the player object, if present.

// player.skinData
{
  url: 'http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/...',
  model: 'slim' // or 'classic'
}

Block

See prismarine-block

Also block.blockEntity is additional field with block entity data as Object. The data in this varies between versions.

// sign.blockEntity example from 1.19
{
  GlowingText: 0, // 0 for false, 1 for true
  Color: 'black',
  Text1: '{"text":"1"}',
  Text2: '{"text":"2"}',
  Text3: '{"text":"3"}',
  Text4: '{"text":"4"}'
}

Note if you want to get a sign's plain text, you can use block.getSignText() instead of unstable blockEntity data.

> block = bot.blockAt(new Vec3(0, 60, 0)) // assuming a sign is here
> block.getSignText()
[ "Front text\nHello world", "Back text\nHello world" ]

Each time bot.rainState is changed, the "weatherUpdate" event is emitted.

bot.thunderState

A number indicating the current thunder level. When there isn't a thunderstorm, this will be equal to 0. When a thunderstorm starts, this value will increase gradually up to 1. When the thunderstorm stops, this value gradually decreases back to 0.

Each time bot.thunderState is changed, the "weatherUpdate" event is emitted.

This is the same as bot.rainState, but for thunderstorms. For thunderstorms, both bot.rainState and bot.thunderState will change.

Number in the range [0, 20] representing the number of half-hearts.

bot.food

Number in the range [0, 20] representing the number of half-turkey-legs.

bot.oxygenLevel

Number in the range [0, 20] representing the number of water-icons known as oxygen level.

The total number of ticks since day 0.

This value is of type BigInt and is accurate even at very large values. (more than 2^51 - 1 ticks)

bot.time.time

The total numbers of ticks since day 0.

Because the Number limit of Javascript is at 2^51 - 1 bot.time.time becomes inaccurate higher than this limit and the use of bot.time.bigTime is recommended. Realistically though you'll probably never need to use bot.time.bigTime as it will only reach 2^51 - 1 ticks naturally after ~14280821 real years.

bot.time.timeOfDay

Time of the day, in ticks.

Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.

bot.time.bigAge

Age of the world, in ticks.

This value is of type BigInt and is accurate even at very large values. (more than 2^51 - 1 ticks)

bot.time.age

Age of the world, in ticks.

Because the Number limit of Javascript is at 2^51 - 1 bot.time.age becomes inaccurate higher than this limit and the use of bot.time.bigAge is recommended. Realistically though you'll probably never need to use bot.time.bigAge as it will only reach 2^51 - 1 ticks naturally after ~14280821 real years.

bot.teamMap

Mapping of member to team. Uses usernames for players and UUIDs for entities.

bot.controlState

An object whose keys are the main control states: ['forward', 'back', 'left', 'right', 'jump', 'sprint', 'sneak'].

Setting values for this object internally calls bot.setControlState.
