mtbotter is a library for creating simple or complex Minetest bots. You can move in the world, add or remove blocks, punch nodes, mobs and players and receive currently a few events such as removal or addition of a node, chat messages and time change.
About 80-90 % of the credit of this project goes to celeron55 and other authors and contributors of Minetest(engine). I take the rest remaining credit!
To code a bot in C++(if you want to code your bot in other languages, see Other languages section), see CREATE-BOT.md
Currently you don't have any option but C++.
Follow Compiling instructions of Minetest.
The resulting library will appear in /lib/ as libmtbotter.so on POSIX
systems(including Linux).
I haven't tested compiling it on other Operating Systems such as Windows or Mac OS X but it should work.
There are many files, functions, methods, classes and structures from Minetest which are not required by MtBotter such as GUI, Rendering, LocalDB, Sound and Server codes. They should be removed soon or late.
MtBotter uses Minetest code and Minetest uses a copyleft licence named LGPL, thus MtBotter is under the same licence(LGPL 2.1+). For more information see LICENSE in project's root directory.
