A team of 4 Gemini 4 Argon agents beat Minecraft: killed the Ender Dragon in 27h 14m, with 605 deaths and 2,783 programs written The authors call it the first end-to-end autonomous completion of Minecraft by AI agents. They also list its limits: the agents read the world through an API, a plugin handled pathfinding, and they played on Easy.
