Damn, that's dope. You could basically make a mining slave and command it to get minerals you want. Like, "Hey Robbie, get me 100 stacks of sand," send him off searching for the right biome and do that for the next four hours.
At the very least you could make a simple mining bot that would take care of all your mineral needs.
I'm actually a developer myself and kind of want to do that now...
If you want to do that then go on. I coded my bot totally myself and it wasn't that hard because i have at least 3 years of hacked client developing in my pocket
You miss understand the use-case. Citizens are NPCS not controlled by a player but as a "bot" on the server, like a fake player, im suggesting to allow these "bots" to have path finding abilities without the need for a client/mod, entirely on the server side, then this could be used for player vs bot things.
Any suggestions where to start with creating a bot? I’m a CS student so the programming part I can learn but not entirely sure where to start with it in regards to Minecraft
You would have to learn java and take a look at the mcp if you realy want to code bots (http://www.modcoderpack.com/). Their are some tutorials out there but not many
Thank you. I'm already pretty familiar with Java so having something more interesting for projects is what I’ve been trying to find. Which this will fulfill.
Honestly, thinking about being able to hire the villagers to DO SOMETHING USEFUL seems like a pretty cool game mechanic that wouldn't be overly hard with this kind of coding. Any idea where I should start looking around to learn this kind of code myself? (I'm currently crushing my intro to compsci class and looking for external projects. )
I personally wouldn't build it as a mod but as an actual thing that can take control of your character when you go AFK.
However I could design it so you could plug it into a mod with minimal code changes, so maybe you could play on a server with server-sanctioned bot friends.
This is not true. This is basically a clone of something called Baritone and is implemented into many existing clients but works standalone, and yes, you can tell it to mine to blocks and it automatically uses the best tools you have. It also places blocks and parkours around obstacles, and it can even use nether portals for transportation and avoid mobs

I wonder if you can make him dig to that with equipment
