HermesCraft: multi-agent tool for Hermes Agent

HermesCraft

bigph00t/hermescraft

Embodied Hermes agents that join your Minecraft world as in-world players, alone or as a group

In short

HermesCraft is a JavaScript project that lets Hermes agents play Minecraft as real in-world players, either as one companion in your world or as many agents sharing a server with separate memories.

What HermesCraft does

Each character is a normal Hermes agent with its own HERMES_HOME, memory and session history, SOUL prompt, Minecraft bot body and the standard Hermes tool stack, plus an mc interface for Minecraft actions and perception. The chain runs from Hermes Agent through the mc CLI and an HTTP API in bot/server.js to a Mineflayer bot body in the Minecraft world. The README says it is not a fake NPC framework or a separate agent runtime.

Companion Mode runs one agent that chats, follows you, gathers resources, helps build, scouts, fights or flees, and remembers across sessions. Civilization Mode runs several agents in one world with separate memories, public chat, private messages and a cast of seven crash-survivor characters. Landfolk Mode is a five-character cast (Steve, Reed, Moss, Flint and Ember) for a personal LAN world. Perception is meant to be fair rather than omniscient. The README says it was built for the Nous Hermes hackathon.
