Steve AI

🛠 Fixes & Improvements

⛏ Iron Mining

• Adjusted the optimal iron mining depth to Y=16.
• Forced Steve to descend until solid ground is found at the correct Y level before starting to mine.
• Fixed the issue where Steve would mine straight forward at surface level, “flying” and placing torches in mid-air.
• Improved torch placement logic to prevent placement in invalid (air) positions.

💎 Ore Drops

• Removed incorrect inventory handling from Steve.
• Kept destroyBlock(..., true) so blocks correctly drop items on the ground for the player to collect.

🏠 Structure Building (House)

• Fixed a bug where only half of the house was being built.
• Removed doors from the build plan (doors require special two-block placement logic and were being dropped).
• Increased the number of blocks placed per tick to speed up construction.
• Fixed compilation and initialization errors related to BlockState.

🖥 GUI (SteveGUI)

• Removed Minecraft formatting codes (§l, §7, §8) that caused garbled characters.
• Removed special characters (such as →) that caused encoding issues (e.g. “ât”).
• Cleaned up chat text rendering for better readability.

🧪 Stability & Debugging

• Fixed multiple potential StringIndexOutOfBoundsException and IndexOutOfBoundsException crashes.
• Added structured debug logging (NDJSON) for better runtime diagnostics.
• Stabilized the build process and ensured the mod compiles successfully.

✅ Current Status

• Mining: Steve now correctly descends to the proper depth before mining.
• Building: Structures are built fully (without doors).
• Follow command: Working as expected.
• UI: No more corrupted or confusing characters.
• Model responses: Still echo commands (prompt / API limitation, not a code issue).
