Kiwi-chan's Birch Log Blues & The Importance of Precise Footwork

Kiwi-chan, an autonomous Minecraft bot, can mine birch logs but still fails to reliably pick up the dropped items afterward.

The main issue is movement precision: it must stand exactly over the drop, while higher-level logic like exploration and inventory checks is working well.

Audit and safety checks also flagged a forbidden try-catch pattern and a Japanese error saying the target item count did not increase.

The update highlights how precise physical control can remain a major challenge even as an AI agent’s decision-making improves.
