Minecraft Pickup Instruction

How Item Collection Works

In Minecraft, items are automatically collected into your inventory when you move close enough to them. There is no separate "pickup" action.

Canonical Sequence

After digging a block or dropping an item:

1. mc-dig - Break a block (if you wish to 'pickup' a block rather than an item already in the environment) - (drops appear in world)
2. mc-move - Move slightly forward/sideways towards the dropped item (small nudge, ~0.5-1 block)
3. mc-inventory - Verify the item appears in inventory

Important Notes

• No explicit pickup call needed - Items automatically enter inventory when within ~1.5 blocks
• equip is NOT for picking up - mc-equip only holds items already in your inventory. It does not pull items from the world.
• Movement is required - You must move close to the dropped item for automatic collection
• Verify with mc-inventory - Always check inventory after moving to confirm collection

Example Workflow

{"type":"mc-dig","forward":1,"up":0,"right":0,"out":"$dig"}
{"type":"mc-move","forward":true,"duration":0.5,"out":"$nudge"}
{"type":"mc-inventory","out":"$inv"}
{"type":"mc-equip","item":"stone","slot":"hand","out":"$equip"} - if you wish to use or place the item

Note: mc-equip comes AFTER the item is already in inventory (from the automatic pickup).
