• Abstract: To pursue the goal of creating an open-ended agent in Minecraft, an open-ended game environment with unlimited possibilities, this paper introduces a task-centric framework named MCU for Minecraft agent evaluation. The MCU framework leverages the concept of atom tasks as fundamental building blocks, enabling the generation of diverse or even arbitrary tasks. Within the MCU framework, each task is measured with six distinct difficulty scores (time consumption, operational effort, planning complexity, intricacy, creativity, novelty). These scores offer a multi-dimensional assessment of a task from different angles, and thus can reveal an agent's capability on specific facets. The difficulty scores also serve as the feature of each task, which creates a meaningful task space and unveils the relationship between tasks. For efficient evaluation of Minecraft agents employing the MCU framework, we maintain a unified benchmark, namely SkillForge, which comprises representative tasks with diverse categories and difficulty distribution. We also provide convenient filters for users to select tasks to assess specific capabilities of agents. We show that MCU has the high expressivity to cover all tasks used in recent literature on Minecraft agent, and underscores the need for advancements in areas such as creativity, precise control, and out-of-distribution generalization under the goal of open-ended Minecraft agent development.
