Minecraft Path Finding - Demonstration

[Choalith]

This is awesome.

[Soandnb]

I wonder if these mobs can solve mazes. Just pop a zombie in the entrance and let it navigate it.

[Camoool]

ALSO MAKE DINGOS THAT ARE KIND OF LIKE WOLVES THAT ONLY SPAWN IN DESERTS.

[Camoool]

PATHFINDING WOLVES! I LOVE YOU MOJANG!

[42code24]

I don't think zombies should pathfind, but that's just me.

[TRBAWESOME]

It's funny at 1:37 it looks like the zombie is dancing

[OmegaDirective343]

Well I'm now going to build what I hope is a impenitapble fortress. Oh no I forgot to get rid of the wood door.

*gets mauled by zombie*

[MeBomb1]

Looks like fun, especially on custom maps.

[MidWeekComic13]

Wow more challenge for survival this is going to be interesting

[Jude00989]

I love it, even though yes zombies are stupid but their not completely dumb.

Why are u guys complaining so much. Yes some obstacles should be to challenging for them but if u really know zombies they always find a way to get 2 u. Zombies are suppose to be a real threat, not a useless mob.

I don't see any fun or challenge in fighting zombies right now or in the previous versions which is y i'm really excited for their new AI for v1.2, i especially like it now they can break down wooden doors :)

[bezerkoid]

Zombies should not be ''quite'' as intelligent as that. They're supposed to be freaking stupid! And creepers are going to ruin the fucking game now.

[jackkuro]

I think zombies should remain a dumb mod. I mean, they are zombies, they just go "Brains..." and straight shot to the nearest brain. Creepers would be 1000x scarier with this pathfinder thingy, but would make a lot more sense to have smart creepers than smart zombies.

[Dave451996]

good vid

[Titanicophile]

Excellent!

[8Kazuja8]

The guy who is making the AIs right now is brilliant. Finally mobs are a bit more than annoying idiots which don't see through windows because the reflection is so shiny.

They are now combat machines that go through hell to get braaaiiins.

[MutohMech]

Now, where is the improved villager AI?

[NoobOfLore]

I suggest we give this untold power only to wolves and creepers.

If creepers are right out, give it to pigmen. Zombies shouldn't be able to pathfind that well.

Endermen too, maybe?

[Thebrawlerguy]

@NoobOfLore they gave it to zombies so there more of a threat, even if you out run them no matter how far you get (well not really they'll despawn if too far) they'll still find you and now they can see through windows so now my house isn't safe...

[NoobOfLore]

@Thebrawlerguy It seems like zombies should be the dumbest of the mobs, but sure.

[Thebrawlerguy]

@NoobOfLore well i guess but even zombies can find there way around... i mean there not standered to be idiotic

[Goldenseek42]

Great video! Way too much buffering though.

[MonarchKay]

The new pathfinding AI is terrifying. I was going down my mineshaft to harvest some lava, right? Well, it goes through a cave that I haven't gotten around to blocking off yet, and I noticed a skeleton. "Ah, whatever, I'll just keep walking." Several turns and a staircase later, I get to the lava, grab up one bucketful, and... TWANG. The freaking skeleton knocks me into the lava. It followed me, and knocked me into the lava! Not cool skeleton dude! Not cool! D:

[Alec1Mason]

Wow, the dead are just as smart as wolves! Our corpses have come such a far way!

[waffleboy159]

Download?

pleease?



[DEinarsson]

@waffleboy159 Of the map?

[MilitaCobra]

Btw guys, anyone notice the bug with Zombies walking over holes and the lava?

[MilitaCobra]

Oh god...guys....creating mob traps (with spawners) is going to become obsolete.....oh noes! :U

[HaloReachRebels]

u shouldve built a glass maze see if they can complete that

[DarkAngelKisses13th]

>>> pathfinding wolves

This is an excellent idea.

>>> pathfinding zombies

Well, that's a little bit unnerving, but okay.

>>> (Possible) Pathfinding creepers

TOO FAR! TOO FAR!

[imakeflashes]

@DarkAngelKisses13th I guess Creepers have a form of pathfinding in which they hide from view until the player passes by. Have fun exploring the caves.

[LB725C]

@DarkAngelKisses13th Creepers already got the haxxor pathfinding, but they don't use it as much because of their new AI making them stalk you rather than just plain out find you and blow up.

[aqwlordvetle]

/md ______?

[MrMrkman98]

Finally! wolf path finding!

[Allzthedevil]

I hope to hell they dont give Creepers this pathfinding -.-, gotta say the new AI person is doing awesome ^_^

[wille8353]

well... shiz my mob trap with have less rotten flesh falling...

[Horangus]

wolf army training!

[gamesandrandomvids]

I wonder what it would be like if creepers and endermen did this...

[Zuniis]

I thought zombies had no brains

[babysymbiote]

oh god. zombies are prettysmart now

[MrScrak]

You should do a Before/after video

[death5409]

so is this part of the new movment A.I.?

[OtherRealmer]

Creepers doing this would just make the game sadistically hard.

[GazAnimations]

Maybe now they'll spin instead of bounce

[contendo64]

now if only wolfs couold go through doors...

[gustav9704]

@contendo64 Now if only zombies could go through doors :D

[Rulerofwax24]

This is too good. The 2nd course with the zombie: They shouldn't be able to figure out that path. They should take the path to get the closest to you, i.e. go on the bridge up, and part way through, try to jump to the player.

[HakoroNui]

Creepers shouldn't do this, but charged ones should

[1998Kert]

@HakoroNui creepers have advanced ai only on hard mode would be better idea. charged creepers are just too rare

[dinosaurzez]

I don't think zombies should be that smart

[Frazzledragon]

The music doesn't fit but I like the video.

[BoTManiack]

Simple question : will they also get around pressure plates to avoid enabling landmines ? Please, tell me they'll at least still fall into redstone-based traps... :c

[skierplaterandy]

@BoTManiack they have pathfinding, so that makes chokepoints and traps much more effective.

[chowwalker]

But can they parkour?

[Nookinpernubb]

4 Words :

Over Powered Cave Spiders.

[chipmunk9998]

hi

[tyber32]

INB4 mob-trap whining.

[MythBeast25]

This is gona make my maze build so much more fun, nobody is going to ever get threw it. >:D

[AshkirMC]

mob traps are broken now cuz of smart-ass zombies???

[Chimaeriforme]

@AshkirMC Yes, Mojang never liked them anyway.

[Ortadragon01]

NOW I CAN BRING MY WOLF UNDERGROUND DIAMOND MINEING

[mroskarmario]

@Ortadragon01 And the Zombies too !

[yangren2013]

Oh jeez, if they made creepers smarter too... Just thinking of 5 creepers walking around walls and avoiding obstacles to get to you...

[RockstarGamerV2]

1:06 he went across the lava lololol

[rafaelg4cn]

i got redstone protection, if zombies learn to press buttons or pull levers im SCREWED

[KamiKazeKenji16]

Now that's an improvement! Now what I would like to see is a maze or structure capable of outwitting the AI, which I know is possible.

I don't think zombies should be that smart though.

[TheCkyrocker]

Awwww.... Now i cant lure zombies into a pool of lava D:

[dvongoetz1]

thumbs up if minecraftmondays bought you hear

[EchoReborn24]

That's nice and all, but can the wolves walk through a door now? :\

[TechnologyWitch]

@EchoReborn24

This. I'm not big on double doors, so this is an annoyance. Glad they're getting a major intelligence boost, though.  Can't tell you how many of the things I've lost to lava.

[ParanormalFood]

2 people are afraid of zombies!

[bbruinenberg]

I like the wolves. The zombies however are now worse than spider jockeys and creepers combined.

[xergxilla]

What about animals following meat?

[xergxilla]

@xergxilla Whoops, wheat

[SirBrodzik832]

Now if only creepers could do all of that!

[Zapp1001]

HOLY SHIT TOP COMMENT

[RSObelix]

Minecraft is gonna be SO much harder when mobs are able to do this...

[TheKarges]

what is the music's name please

[mtgking]

Love the new path finding for wolves but, not so much for mobs especially on spiders (when there added) cause your going to get swarmed in caves.

[Nyupable]

1:35 Zombie dance ! :D

[azertyg8]

Just amazing!

[yuman3]

I love what they are doing with the new updates, cant wait to see more ai put into the mobs

[JacobThePianist]

Why are the dog's tails tucked?

[MrFelixFB]

@JacobThePianist Glich

[ColaEuphoria]

The wolf thing could be useful, but once I saw the zombie...NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE

[candide212]

@ColaEuphoria Wait until the creepers get updated.

[Slagar10]

No no no, I love the smart zombies. It will add some more challenge.

[fogshedder]

please tell me creepers don't get this

[stueythehampster]

Why do people think zombies are too smart? They always know when you're most vulnerable (like in the bathroom) and they eat brains all day. Thus, they have more brains than any of us

[TheAwesomeAMP]

I think they should add this to all hostile mobs. Game would be so much better!

[TheGerogero]

Improved AI will be epic.

[movierobin]

hu wtf??? lol

[ZangBeast]

why does the zombie start walking weirdly at 1:32 ?

[MinersBlock]

We'll start tomorrow a small Bukkit Guide in german but after that they'll come a lot more videos like the pathfinding video! :)

[toaster007a]

At last I do not have to worry about my dogs eagerly jumping off into a ravine or pool of lava for the 50th time that day! Thanks Jeb! :D

[ReddCarran]

@toaster007a Jeb didn't do this.. Jon did.. Their AI director. :(

[toaster007a]

@ReddCarran I meant to wrote Jon xD I really do like the changes that are happening to minecraft though with jeb at the helm - more creativity than adventure style gameplay. I will only be sad if this AI mechanic is given to creepers too :(

[ReddCarran]

@toaster007a I like the changes Jeb is making as well. :P

I'm afraid of the new AI, to be honest.. If all of the mobs get smart, Vechs's maps will be SO much harder.

[toaster007a]

@ReddCarran Did not think about that D: - although I have not yet had the (dis)pleasure of playing any of maps yet...

Maybe at last the Giant Mob could be used in jungles? :P

[Pika3323]

If only Kurtjmac could use these versions...

[lordazuzu]

Man, can you PLEASE tell me who's playing the background music?

[B1ackS0ul2]

@lordazuzu It's "Buddy.caf" from Apple's iMovie

[idongivadamn]

Elevator music.

[FeltDownHard]

maybe dogs should have the ability to jump 2 blocks far ?

[qbicfeet]

1:32 - 1:42

Hater's gonna' hate.

[BebopVox]

Great job showcasing the new changes. Actually shows off the impressive changes Jon has been doing.

[HerpDerp182]

I was really impressed with this xD

[iampalpal]

I ALSO WANT TO KNOW THE SONG!

[B1ackS0ul2]

@iampalpal It's "Buddy.caf" from Apple's iMovie

[emoasfxck]

Just because something doesn't have a brain doesn't mean it can't negotiate a maze. Slime molds can navigate mazes. So I don't see why a primitive zombie brain wouldn't be able to. Sometimes simple is better.

[neagrosk]

@emoasfxck slime molds navigate mazes by going through all paths at once, and then only maintaining the most optimal path. Zombies should probably use this type of intelligence as well, trying all paths through sheer numbers so that a couple get through (like zombie survival movies)

[TheKastenbrot]

Give the poor dog something to eat!

[jibestboy]

wait.... where did that smart zombie come from? zombies are supposed to walk towards you in a straight line and into the lava!

[xNivarius]

@jibestboy He made a mod for it.

[Levitikai]

So the wolves will wait until you idle to jump into the lava now?

[TheJarmom2]

Well, my lava moats were just rendered entirely useless for zombies.

[GeckoLink]

YES! ASDHFJKSDHFJKAESFHJLKCHSNKJNFZ­C

[Jberg8188]

SONG. WHAT IS IT.

[B1ackS0ul2]

@Jberg8188 It's "Buddy.caf" from Apple's iMovie

[BewareOfScience]

I lost it at 1:33.

[dctrjons1]

@BewareOfScience Give the boy some tap shoes.

[PunkyCrisps]

Would there be any way to make zombies try to jump one-wide gaps (over holes/water/lava)? It would be interesting primarily if that meant they still had a chance to fail the jump. Might help with the "zombies are too smart" thing.

All in all, though, this is friggin' sweet!

[Disillusioned22]

Now lets take that code and give it to creepers.

[TjrAnimations]

OH MY GOD THIS MAKES ME SOOOO HAPPY.

[LlamasWithTNT]

FINALLY I CAN DO DOG SHOWS

[anistuffs]

1:35 Dancing Zombie :D

But seriously, undead creatures with rotting brains shouldn't be so smart as a trained Wolf :/

[TheRicochetProdigy95]

Nice, but now I wouldn't mind seeing if a wolf attacking any other mob have the same effect on pathfinding

[Zapp1001]

I like how the wolfs are smarter, but i think zombies should be at least a little dumb.

[LvLupXD]

@Zapp1001 I think even a mindless zombie knows lava=hot

[LvLupXD]

@LvLupXD Although the advanced pathfinding is a bit insane.

[67ARC]

@Zapp1001 Have you ever seen intelligent zombie?

[zigiz14]

Good. Wolves are intelligent, but... zombie, without brain... is too intelligent.

[JustD3fy]

@zigiz14 who ever said zombies don't have brains

[oraclekai]

What artist is this?

[EsplodingBomb]

No more leading zombies into lava pits :( Great demonstration!

[ChipNick87]

Jon is a boss. Thanks Jon!

[M3aaaqHD]

@Scorchify1994 i fink yr dug is retartet or sumting mybe?

[redcrafter]

WE can train dogs now! :D
