Google's Gemini 4 agents defeat Minecraft Ender Dragon without human input
Google researchers reported that four Gemini 4 Argon agents completed a full Minecraft survival run and killed the Ender Dragon entirely on their own. The agents each controlled a player via the open‑source Mineflayer library, communicated through in‑game chat, and dynamically split tasks such as tool making, food gathering, portal lighting and shelter building.
Key points
- Four Gemini 4 Argon agents completed Minecraft survival and killed the Ender Dragon autonomously.
- Agents exchanged 229 in‑game messages, wrote 2,783 programs, and died 605 times over 27.23 hours.
- The run used 1.35 billion input tokens, costing $810 at list price ($1,620 at standard price).
The autonomous session lasted 27.23 hours. During that time the agents wrote and executed 2,783 programs, exchanged 229 messages, and died a total of 605 times before the final blow was delivered. The experiment consumed 1.35 billion input tokens, costing $810 at Gemini’s list price or $1,620 at the standard price. A fifth “Observer” agent monitored the run to ensure no cheating and to produce reports.
The team said this is the first end‑to‑end autonomous completion of Minecraft using only the standard Mineflayer library, without any pre‑scouted seeds or human‑written game‑specific tools, highlighting the growing capability of general‑purpose agentic AI models.
