What do you need help with?

There are many times I want to get somewhere and baritone would brute force it's way there without just path walking to it. For example when I need somewhere from the surface to a point in a cave, Baritone just digs directly there instead of going the route through the cave.

However there are times where mining is needed to get somewhere.

So how do I tell Baritone to restrain from mining as much as humanly possible unless absolutely necessary? Possibly on a block per block basis where it's restrained from mining as much blocks as possible and have it travel further away if it means mining less blocks.

Final checklist

• I know how to properly use check boxes
• I have not used any OwO's or UwU's in this issue.

Exactly.

The unit of blockBreakAdditionalPenalty is indeed ticks.

Turn up blockBreakAdditionalPenalty as high as you want, though note that Baritone considers 1000000 ticks (20 minutes) as impossibly long so if you tell it that breaking a block takes one minute it cannot possibly find paths breaking more than 20 blocks.

I see. So the value is the amount of tick baritone mist wait before trying to break anything. Very very interesting.

Also before I close the issue, just to verify, the value's unit is ticks to wait. Correct?

As understanding, baritone doesn't actually spend time with waiting. When deciding on the path to use, baritone calculates the time the path would take. Basically: total_time = time_spent_walking + time_spent_mining_blocks. Then, it chooses the path with the least total_time.

To calculate time_spent_mining_blocks, it adds up the block mining time of all the blocks to be mined along the path. So if it needs to break 5 stone, then time_spent_mining_blocks = 5 * stone_mine_time. With the blockBreakAdditionalPenalty set to some number, it additionally adds that time, e.g.: time_spent_mining_blocks = 5 * stone_mine_time + 5 * blockBreakAdditionalPenalty.

This means that when choosing a path, baritone thinks that any path with blocks to break is very slow. As such, it will consider paths with less block mining to be faster, and choose them.

When actually executing the path, baritone doesn't spend time with waiting. It's only for the planning phase.

I see, I see. That make so much sense.

Exactly.

I seee. Thanks so much guys for your help!
