Minecraft:Hour of AI: The First Night

Template:ExclusiveTemplate:Stub Template:Infobox world Hour of AI: The First Night, is a lesson in Minecraft:Minecraft Education and part of the Hour of Code series. The map is centered around an Minecraft:agent who tries to learn first-night survival from a survival expert, the player.

Summary

Intro

There is a "tap to begin" painting. When this painting is clicked, the player will be asked to choose an avatar and to choose between blocks and Python.

Then, a cutscene of the chosen avatar preparing for the first night is shown with AI chatbot questions, with Minecraft:Relic playing in the background. The avatar collects birch logs, crafts Minecraft:tools, builds a Minecraft:shelter, lights it up with Minecraft:torches, crafts and places an Minecraft:oak door, finds a sheep, carries the sheep, crafts a bed, places the crafting table in the shelter, places the bed, and goes to sleep. Next comes an animation mimicking the world loading screen of Minecraft:Java Edition.

Dawn

The player teleports to a Minecraft:plains biome near Minecraft:oak, Minecraft:birch, and Minecraft:acacia Minecraft:trees. A message says "Minecraft:Agent joined the game". Since Agent is new to Minecraft, they do a conversation with them and the player.

At a point in the conversation, the player asks Agent to punch wood. However, since Agent does not know what wood is, he asks what wood is. The player then is prompted to punch wood, and the agent watches. For the player to verify his knowledge, the player is prompted to open the Minecraft:Code Builder and classify an oak log block as wood.

Agent sees birch logs and claims that it looks like wood. However, they do not know that it is wood, so the player is asked to classify birch logs as wood in his database. After the confirmation, Agent's agentic agents break the birch logs. This same event repeats for acacia logs.

Morning

The player reads the guidebook and tells Agent that they need to craft a Minecraft:crafting table, so Agent asks to craft a crafting table. The player then must verify the knowledge. After the knowledge is successfully verified, the Agent crafts a crafting table. The guidebook is read again, and it says to craft tools. The player is prompted to craft a wooden Minecraft:shovel, Minecraft:pickaxe, and Minecraft:axe. Then, the player must verify Agent's assumptions again by coding Agent to know the crafting recipe for the tools.

After Agent learns about tools, the player is prompted to mine stone and verify the assumption. The Agent then learns the fact that tools can be upgraded to stone-level tools.

Noon

Template:Incomplete section The player reads a page on the guidebook. The page says that every Minecraft player needs a shelter to defend against hostile mobs. The Agent then must be coded to learn that Minecraft:wood planks and Minecraft:cobblestone are two appropriate materials to build shelter. Agent then builds a shelter with one problem: there is no entrance. Because of verification by the player, Agent breaks down the house and builds the same house, but with a 2*2 hole in the front and a 2*1 hole at the back. Agent then, with help from the player once again, learns to craft a door, and fills in the holes in the shelter with the doors.

Dusk

Agent asks what is wrong with the player. The player replies that nighttime is making it hard to read the guidebook and that the Agent should craft some torches. Agent is taught how to use furnaces and how to craft torches. The player places a torch outside the shelter, while the agentic agents place the torches inside. While Agent learns how to use furnaces, they categorize Minecraft:coal ore and Minecraft:iron ore into a third category: Minecraft:ores.

The player tells Agent that they need a bed. The player trains the Agent to shear sheep to obtain wool by crafting shears out of two iron ingots, and to obtain iron ingots they need to smelt raw iron and use coal as fuel. The player trains Agent how to craft a bed, and places a bed. After the player goes into Code Builder and trains the agent to craft a bed, Agent will place a bed next to the first bed. Agent and the player sleep together, and the screen fades black.

Outro

The same cutscene from the beginning of the map plays, but without the chatbot messages, and the avatar is replaced by Agent and their agentic agents. At the end of this cutscene, the chatbot message "How do I join a build challenge?" is shown, and after a while the player teleports to the Minecraft:Mini Agent Mission map.
