Hey friends!

Super excited to announce that after two months of bug squashing & adventures in the Minecraft code base, the MineRL competition is now open for submissions! The general blog post about how to get started is here:

Protocol for submission 🙂

Here’s how you submit in Round 1:

1. Sign up to join the competition on the AIcrowd website.
2. Clone the AIcrowd starter template and start developing your submissions.
3. Submit an agent to the leaderboard:

• Train your agents locally (or on Azure) in under 8,000,000 samples over 4 days. Participants should use hardware no more powerful than NG6v2 instances on Azure (6 CPU cores, 112 GiB RAM, 736 GiB SDD, and a NVIDIA P100 GPU.)
• Push your repository to AIcrowd GitLab, which verifies that it can successfully be re-trained by the organizers at the end of Round 1 and then runs the test entrypoint to evaluate the trained agent’s performance!

Once the full evaluation of the uploaded model/code is done, the participant’s submission will appear on the leaderboard!
