General FAQ
For Version 1.x
Why does this MineRL version take so long to install?
Previous versions compiled the game binary when reset
gets called.
v1.0.0 compiles the binary during install, so MineRL wont have to do so on
reset
calls. This makes reset
faster. Also see the Windows FAQ
for slow install info.
Failed to initialize GLFW or GLX problems
This can occur when attempting to run on a headless system without using something like xvfb.
Try xvfb-run -a python [path to your code]
For Version 0.4.x
When I run MineRL, a tiny window pops up and I cant see what my agent is doing. Is something wrong?
No, this is the proper way that MineRL runs. Try useing env.render()
if you need to
watch your agent.
Why is MineRL giving timeout errors or agents with Connection timed out!
errors?
If a MineRL Window is not :code:`step`ed within X seconds, it will automatically crash. This is to prevent MineRL from hanging if Minecraft stops working properly.
Why do MineRL windows sometimes just crash?
Unfortunately, there are bugs in Minecraft which sometimes cause crashes :(
