AI Agent Duo Clears Minecraft Ender Dragon In 8 Minutes 43 Seconds
The run is a working test of splitting an AI agent into a slow planner and a fast decision-maker, with Jev making the moment-to-moment calls and Astra setting the goal in the background.

Engineer Ronak Malde published results on September 20 from a Minecraft agent that pairs OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra with TypeSafe AI's Jev. Starting from an empty inventory in a Java Edition 1.16.5 world, the agent reached the End and killed the Ender Dragon with a bed explosion in 8 minutes 43 seconds. Jev was called 131 times, Astra 35 times, and model costs ran about $0.01 for Jev and $0.96 for Astra.
The two models were given separate jobs. Astra sets the goal, something like preparing gear and heading for the End. Jev takes the current position, inventory, surroundings, and that goal, then picks one action from candidates such as move, dig, pick up, craft, and attack. Actual movement and mining go through the Minecraft bot library Mineflayer. Malde described the setup as a division of labor among a long-term planner, an instant decision layer, and conventional software that operates the game.
