Summary

This is my first time running Craftium. I started with running Craftium/ChopTree-v0 with random actions while recording the agent observations, to confirm everything worked fine. See Steps to reproduce for the code.

At some point, the agent appears to get ejected upwards, far about the cloud cover of the map. I believe this happens after it jumps on something that looks like an ice patch, or perhaps water.

See the recorded video, around 2:07 mark. After the agent hits the ice, the forest can briefly be seen from above. The agent appears to cross the cloud cover of the map a few frames later.

Steps to reproduce

The video was obtained using the following code:

from xvfbwrapper import Xvfb
import pickle
import os
import numpy as np
from moviepy.video.io.ImageSequenceClip import ImageSequenceClip
import tyro
import gymnasium as gym
import craftium
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class Args:
    model: str = "models/3x.model"
    "path to the model skeleton (not used)"
    weights: str = "models/BC-house-3x.weights (not used)"
    "path to the model weights"
    record_video: bool = False
    "capture a video of the agent's view"
    save_video_to: str = "videos/latest.mp4"
    "save path for the video"
    num_frames: int = 24*60
    "number of frames to record when recording a video"

def main(args):
    env = gym.make("Craftium/ChopTree-v0")

    observation, info = env.reset()

    recorded_frames = []
    for t in range(args.num_frames):
        if args.record_video:
            recorded_frames.append(observation)
        action = env.action_space.sample()  # get a random action
        observation, reward, terminated, truncated, _info = env.step(action)

        if terminated or truncated:
            observation, info = env.reset()

    if args.record_video:
        clip = ImageSequenceClip(recorded_frames, fps=24)
        if not os.path.exists(os.path.dirname(args.save_video_to)):
            os.makedirs(f"videos", exist_ok=True)
        clip.write_videofile(args.save_video_to, logger="bar")

    env.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":

    args = tyro.cli(Args)
    vdisplay = Xvfb()
    vdisplay.start()
    main(args)
    vdisplay.stop()

Note: What happens to the run directory upon script completion? I can find them inside ~/craftium when the run script crashes. However I cannot find the run directories when the python script finishes correctly (i.e. exit code 0). The run directory gets created, but it either gets deleted or is moved somewhere else upon script completion.
