An extensible, provider-neutral Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and high-level automation framework that enables AI agents to perceive, navigate, interact with, and build inside Minecraft.
Origin & Attribution
Aldeano Build MCP is based on yuniko-software/minecraft-mcp-server. The project has been extended and redesigned for high-level Minecraft automation and AI agent workflows, introducing a decoupled Services layer, dual-mode execution (MCP Server + Dev Shell), diagnostic tooling, typed error domains, and robust unit & integration test coverage.
Las demos del original no certifican el rendimiento de este fork. En #211, los comentarios indican que la demo usa /fill y /tp en creativo; no es una medición de colocación física bloque a bloque. Aquí esas capacidades pasan por operaciones tipadas, acotadas y con preflight, no por comandos arbitrarios en send-chat. La evidencia reproducible es npm run doctor y su informe de bloques esperados/verificados; no se afirma haber reproducido la Casa Blanca ni garantiza la calidad de cualquier diseño generado por una IA.

Project Philosophy
"LLM ≠ Minecraft implementation"
Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at spatial reasoning, planning, goal decomposition, and conversational reasoning. However, game execution requires rock-solid pathfinding, voxel physics, block collision detection, inventory graph logic, and protocol synchronization.
Aldeano Build MCP adheres to a strict provider-neutral design:
Works identically with Claude (
ClaudeBot), Gemini (GeminiBot), MiniMax (MiniMaxBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPTBot), or local dev sessions (TestBot,MCPBot).Separates MCP protocol adapters from the Services Layer, meaning all capabilities can be invoked by LLMs via stdio JSON-RPC, executed in an interactive REPL terminal, or scripted programmatically in TypeScript.
Table of Contents
Overview
Aldeano Build MCP provides:
Perception: Spatial coordinate tracking, surrounding block inspection, nearby entity detection, and player chat monitoring.
Locomotion: Intelligent 3D pathfinding with obstacle avoidance, flight capabilities (creative mode), direction pulses, and discrete jumping.
Manipulation: Block placement with collision detection, voxel excavation, block type searches, inventory equipping, and crafting.
Dual Execution: Seamless switching between MCP Server Mode (for AI hosts) and Dev Shell Mode (interactive REPL for developers).
Diagnostics: Built-in environment and port health checker (
npm run doctor).
Quick Start
Launch a local server and have a bot running in Minecraft in just 4 commands:
git clone https://github.com/Aldeanoo/aldeano-build-mcp.git && cd aldeano-build-mcp
npm install
npm run mc:setup
npm run mc:start && npm run dev:shell -- --username TestBot(Note: Run npm run mc:start and npm run dev:shell in separate terminal windows, or run npm run dev:all to start both concurrently).
Development & Dev Shell
Aldeano Build MCP includes an interactive developer shell that lets you inspect and command the bot directly without requiring an LLM client:
# Run the interactive REPL shell
npm run dev:shell -- --username TestBot
# Run system health diagnostics
npm run doctor
# Reset local test world data
npm run mc:resetDev Shell Commands:
pos: Print the bot's current 3D coordinates.move <x> <y> <z>: Pathfind to specified coordinates.look <x> <y> <z>: Orient bot head towards a location.jump: Trigger a jump.block <x> <y> <z>: Inspect the block at coordinates.dig <x> <y> <z>: Break block at coordinates.chat <message>: Send a message in-game.inv: List current inventory items and slots.quit/exit: Disconnect the bot.
Minecraft Setup
Option 1: Automatic Local Server (Recommended for Testing)
Use the included automated setup script (requires Java 17 or 21):
# Downloads official server jar, accepts EULA, and configures offline localhost server
npm run mc:setup
# Start the server (runs on 127.0.0.1:25565)
npm run mc:startOption 2: Singleplayer LAN Game
Launch Minecraft (Java Edition 1.20 - 1.21+).
Create or load a world (Creative mode with cheats enabled is recommended).
Press
ESC-> Open to LAN.Set Allow Cheats: ON, port to
25565, and click Start LAN World.
MCP Setup
To connect Aldeano Build MCP to an AI host (like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, or LibreChat):
Claude Desktop Configuration
Open your Claude Desktop config file:
macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add the server entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"minecraft": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"aldeano-build-mcp",
"--host",
"127.0.0.1",
"--port",
"25565",
"--username",
"ClaudeBot"
]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop completely from your system tray/dock. Once started, Claude will display available Minecraft tools!

Testing
We enforce rigorous test coverage separated into unit and integration suites:
# Run unit tests (fast, mock-based, offline)
npm test
# Run integration tests (offline-safe)
npm run test:integration
# Run live Minecraft smoke test (connects, moves, places, destroys, disconnects)
npm run test:minecraft
# Run linting
npm run lint
# Build TypeScript to dist/
npm run build
# Run a reproducible build benchmark against port 9999
MC_PORT=9999 BUILD_FAST_MODE_ENABLED=true npm run benchmark -- wall_30x10Design workflow
For real buildings and named styles, the agent researches the subject and designs for recognizable proportions, strong composition and practical Minecraft interiors. It asks whether the user wants post-build validation, while the build engine always visits and checks that the complete construction volume is empty before placing blocks.
Block coordinates, batching and retries stay inside Aldeano Build MCP. This keeps tool calls and token use focused on research and design.
