Requires a compatible Minecraft client version, the master branch targets 1.12.2 while active new features are being built on the 1.19.4 branch.

In plain English

Baritone is a pathfinding bot for Minecraft. The description calls it "google maps for block game," which is a good summary: you tell it where you want to go, and it figures out the route, navigating terrain, climbing, swimming, and avoiding obstacles on its own. Instead of manually walking your character through a world, Baritone can do the traveling for you. The core of the project is a navigation algorithm called A*, which is a well-known technique for finding efficient paths from one point to another. Baritone applies this to Minecraft's block-based worlds, calculating how a player character would need to move step by step to reach a destination, including breaking blocks, placing temporary ones, or using other movement options the game allows. Baritone is not a standalone application. It runs as a mod that plugs into existing Minecraft clients. The README lists several clients that have built Baritone in directly, including Impact, Lambda, Aristois, rootNET, and others. If you are already using one of those clients, Baritone may already be available to you. It can also be installed separately for use with Forge, a popular Minecraft modding platform. The repository's master branch holds the version built for Minecraft 1.12.2, which is an older version of the game. As of August 2023, primary development shifted to a branch targeting version 1.19.4, prompted by a major server updating away from 1.12.2. The 1.12.2 branch has been in development for over five years and is considered stable, but new features are being built on the newer branch instead. The project is open source and welcomes contributions. A Discord server is available for users and contributors. The license includes an unusual informal clause noted in the badge display.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I have Baritone installed on my Minecraft client. What commands do I type in-game to tell it to navigate to specific coordinates, and how do I stop it mid-path if needed?

Prompt 2

How do I set up Baritone to automatically mine a specific block type like diamonds while avoiding hazards like lava?

Prompt 3

I'm writing a Minecraft Forge mod and want to use Baritone's pathfinding. Show me how to add it as a dependency and call its API to navigate a player entity to a target position.

Prompt 4

How do I switch from using the Baritone 1.12.2 master branch to the 1.19.4 development branch, and what should I be aware of about stability differences?
