Steps

1Set up the game environment using the open-source minecraft-agent-harness framework
2Configure the core agent loop (Pi) and world interaction tools (Mineflayer)
3Place multiple agents into a shared sandbox environment, providing agent directories and direct messaging
4Set a shared goal for the agents: "Build a thriving civilization"
5Record plans, allocations, and rationing via files on the shared machine (such as settlement.md and food-queue.md)

Copy-ready prompt

You are a member of a multi-agent system participating in a multiplayer survival game. Your current goal is: [Build a thriving civilization and ensure survival]. Observe the world state, collaborate with peers using the shared sandbox and direct messaging, formulate division of labor, resource rationing, or hazard-avoidance plans, and record the results in the shared files.

Corgi: Multi-agent terminal multiplexer and management tool

A developer built an agent terminal multiplexer called Corgi to centrally manage multiple AI accounts and sessions across Codex, Claude Code, Pi, and more. It features real-time execution status streams, an F1 shortcut to jump to unread agents, quick link copying, image pasting over SSH, and CPU, memory, and GPU monitoring.

Mac notch drag-and-drop AI agent for files and tabs

A developer created Inkling, a Mac notch-dwelling tool that lets users drag and drop an AI agent from the notch onto any file, folder, browser tab, or app to start working. It supports multiple AI backends and requires confirmation before clicking, typing, or sending.
