Smart Resource Collecting

I think it would be cool and interesting to see an option for smart resource collecting. Normally when collecting resources, the bot will go directly to it, and mine blocks in its path. This is great and all, but something just isn't right about the bot trying to collect Iron ore with its bare hands.

So, let's take this for example: The bot (I will call Jeremy for some reason) is instructed to find and collect Iron ore. By default, it will find the nearest iron ore, and dig to it with its bare hands, only utilizing a tool if the player already has one. My idea here, is to make the bot think like a player. Usually, before heading out to find Iron, players will collect wood, make a crafting table, craft a wooden pick, then collect some cobblestone to make a stone pickaxe, therefore is now able to collect iron ore.

I think the bot should be able to do something like this, to think like a player and plan ahead for the resource it is collecting.
(This idea also builds off ideas of auto crafting, so the player doesn't have to supply the bot with tools ahead of time)

It's understandable if this never gets implemented, as it is a fairly complicated idea.
However, it would still be an awesome thing to see in Baritone.

Thanks,

It would be an awesome feature but as you said, it is likely to not happen too soon due to the high complexity.
Dumb automation without any planning would be possible though. AltoClef seems to do it fairly well.

Also this has been suggested a couple times already so I will close this issue.
