  1. 0:00This is Minecraft's biggest server, and
  2. 0:01it's only about one thing, money. An
  3. 0:03in-game economy built around selling and
  4. 0:05buying from other people, just like real
  5. 0:06life. If AI is so powerful, can it build
  6. 0:08an algorithm that breaks in-game
  7. 0:10economy, or will it end up broke and
  8. 0:11potentially banned? Let's find out. All
  9. 0:13right, you guys are probably wondering
  10. 0:14how I'm going to do this. It's all going
  11. 0:15to come down to arbitrage. Now, here's
  12. 0:18an example. Many players make money by
  13. 0:19finding good deals on the auction house
  14. 0:20and reselling it at a higher price,
  15. 0:22making an instant profit. But this takes
  16. 0:24a lot of awareness on which items to
  17. 0:25actually buy and sell. And if you make a
  18. 0:27mistake, you can lose a lot of money.
  19. 0:28So, if an algorithm could detect these
  20. 0:30deals mathematically with data and
  21. 0:32execute these trades, it would be
  22. 0:33broken. And it should be possible. Well,
  23. 0:35there's only one way to find out. So,
  24. 0:36let's just start by asking a to make the
  25. 0:38base of the mod before we go into the
  26. 0:40algorithm. But look how detailed this
  27. 0:41is. There's no data yet, but it's going
  28. 0:42to calculate fair prices when it's
  29. 0:44listed and liquidity so we know if an
  30. 0:46item has demand. We can also blacklist
  31. 0:48items. Oh my gosh. And this is what the
  32. 0:51click is going to look like. This is
  33. 0:52perfect. It's organized. This is going
  34. 0:54to be how we control the algorithm
  35. 0:55inside the game. All right, it's been a
  36. 0:57couple minutes and looks like Chachi is
  37. 0:58running a test run. Yes. Okay, there we
  38. 1:00go. Launched the mod perfectly. All
  39. 1:02right, let's see what it did.
  40. 1:03Interesting. I'm not sure about you
  41. 1:04guys. This looks pretty good. We even
  42. 1:05have a chart to track profit. Oh my,
  43. 1:07this is where the opportunities are
  44. 1:08going to be listed. But as you guys can
  45. 1:09see, these prices are completely wrong.
  46. 1:11Yeah, I would go broke with these
  47. 1:12prices. But step one is done. I'm very
  48. 1:14happy about it. We now need to work on
  49. 1:15the most important part, the algorithm.
  50. 1:18And for this, we're going to need the
  51. 1:19donut S&P API. Now, this is the most
  52. 1:21important part because the API provides
  53. 1:22all the data for the auction house, new
  54. 1:24listings, quantity, and at what price a
  55. 1:25listing is bought and sold. And this is
  56. 1:27how the AI will gather the data and
  57. 1:28provide opportunities that actually has
  58. 1:30demand. I have no idea if AI can do
  59. 1:31this. There are over a thousand items on
  60. 1:33the Dona SMP, and I'm asking it to do
  61. 1:35statistical calculations for every
  62. 1:36single one of those items. All right,
  63. 1:38there's actually no problems with the
  64. 1:39API. It's actually possible. So, I
  65. 1:41should just be able to type in slash a
  66. 1:43Wait, no, no. Does the server not have
  67. 1:44individual API keys? All right, this
  68. 1:46Redditor saved my life. He said that
  69. 1:47slash API is only available for
  70. 1:49subscriptions. Thank you to whoever this
  71. 1:50guy is. Okay, there we go. Now we can do
  72. 1:52slash API. Now we're almost in stage
  73. 1:54one, but since there's so many items in
  74. 1:55the Don SMP, I want to first experiment
  75. 1:57with various stable items, ores, blocks,
  76. 1:59and food. This is because sometimes
  77. 2:00items can drop by 50% in 1 hour, and
  78. 2:03that could destroy all my profits. The
  79. 2:05Don SMP is not a normal economy. There
  80. 2:07we go. Now, the algorithm is only
  81. 2:08calculating for very stable items. Stage
  82. 2:10one is done, but now we have to do stage
  83. 2:12two. The algorithm has to use past data
  84. 2:14to create a fair resell value. This is
  85. 2:16because some players overpay for items
  86. 2:17and some underpay. And this isn't real
  87. 2:19life money, so an accurate average is
  88. 2:21really difficult to find. I'm checking
  89. 2:22the code base and there are conditionals
  90. 2:24for listing opportunity. This is really
  91. 2:25good. Yep. Yep. Yep. As you guys can
  92. 2:26see, price calculations are based off
  93. 2:28completed sales. So, if one price is
  94. 2:30like 25% completed sales and another
  95. 2:32price has 75% completed sales, the
  96. 2:34average will be between these two. The
  97. 2:36only reason this is possible is that the
  98. 2:37Don SMP actually has a really active
  99. 2:39economy. Like without players buying and
  100. 2:41selling quickly, this would not be
  101. 2:42possible. And now Chad is making the
  102. 2:44logic for the profit calculations. We're
  103. 2:4670% there. This is going to be so
  104. 2:48awkward if I lose all my money. All
  105. 2:49right, we're in the last sector risk
  106. 2:50analysis. And this is so I don't buy
  107. 2:52items that are outrageously high is like
  108. 2:54a lot of people troll unless items are
  109. 2:56extremely high for no reason because
  110. 2:58they just hope that someone just buys
  111. 2:59it. We are finally done. Oh my, look at
  112. 3:02all those changes. Holy But
  113. 3:04seriously, we have live data
  114. 3:06calculations and Chad GP has already
  115. 3:08done test. So it's already stable. API
  116. 3:10connected. No errors. All right, let's
  117. 3:12see the opportunities. Okay, you know
  118. 3:14what? That's It's fine. You know, it's
  119. 3:16probably calculating right now. Let's
  120. 3:17just give it a second.
  121. 3:18>> 10 minutes later.
  122. 3:19>> What is happening? Oh, no. There has to
  123. 3:21be a bug somewhere. Wait, I'm a vibe
  124. 3:23corder. I can't handle bugs. No, no, no.
  125. 3:24Looking at the restrictions, I believe
  126. 3:25the competence level is way too high.
  127. 3:27Let's just lower this and pray it works.
  128. 3:29All right, it's done, bro. I'm so
  129. 3:31nervous. Okay, please, please tell me
  130. 3:32this fixed it. Yes, opportunity found.
  131. 3:36Boom. Maka locka. Yo, this is crazy. No.
  132. 3:38Are these accurate listings? Wait, 64
  133. 3:41redstone. Oh my gosh, we just did it. We
  134. 3:43just did it. Hold on. If it lists us on
  135. 3:45the calculated price, are people going
  136. 3:46to buy? I think another opportunity was
  137. 3:48the ender pearls. Oh my, it's right as
  138. 3:50well. The API is fully connected and the
  139. 3:52algorithm is receiving the data. Let's
  140. 3:54list the pearls as well. This doesn't
  141. 3:56work if the sell price is not calculated
  142. 3:57well. So, this could still be wrong. No,
  143. 3:59it's right. Less than 30 seconds and we
  144. 4:01have sold the pearls already for 9K
  145. 4:03instant like 8K profit. And my first one
  146. 4:05got bought as well. Oh my, the listings
  147. 4:07are right. The data is correct. Okay, I
  148. 4:09need to calm down. We still need to
  149. 4:11automate this, but this should be too
  150. 4:12hard. If you guys didn't know, the don
  151. 4:14has commands that allows players to
  152. 4:15instantly list and buy an item. We just
  153. 4:16need to give the algorithm the commands
  154. 4:18and when it detects opportunity, it
  155. 4:19should be able to do it just instantly.
  156. 4:20I don't know what to say. But guys,
  157. 4:22should this be banned? Because
  158. 4:23technically in real life with real
  159. 4:24money, this is not banable. It has come
  160. 4:26such a long way though. The codebase
  161. 4:27actually looks organized, which I don't
  162. 4:29know how that's possible because this
  163. 4:30was completely vibe coded. Looks like
  164. 4:32the automation is done. It even added
  165. 4:33different settings. I don't know if this
  166. 4:34is going to get me banned though. This
  167. 4:36is kind of scaring me. You know what?
  168. 4:37Let's just risk it. All right, I'm not
  169. 4:39banned just yet. Okay, the did add the
  170. 4:42settings. Okay, now we can just paste
  171. 4:43the commands. And there we go. We can
  172. 4:45find the exact item instantly. It's like
  173. 4:47much quicker. Now, the problem is we got
  174. 4:48commands, but it's still not automated.
  175. 4:50I still have to like press each
  176. 4:51individual button. Say this is pretty
  177. 4:52good, but we got to make the algorithm
  178. 4:54do the entire thing. All right, so this
  179. 4:55should be the final test. A should just
  180. 4:56be able to like use a commands and
  181. 4:58automatically find the listing. But
  182. 5:00guys, let me know if I should release
  183. 5:00this open source because one way this
  184. 5:02algorithm can actually get really good
  185. 5:04is with more data. like players with
  186. 5:06real experience and how the Don SMP
  187. 5:07works can make this really good. The
  188. 5:09real question is if Chad GMD can
  189. 5:11actually make this automated SMP
  190. 5:13probably has an anti-che to prevent
  191. 5:14this. Oh, we're about to find out. No,
  192. 5:16it's already done. Let's see if the
  193. 5:17antiche actually catches me. Hey,
  194. 5:18there's automation tab. Okay, we have a
  195. 5:21lot of settings here. Let's just turn on
  196. 5:22the authorized auto um and just see what
  197. 5:25it does. Is it doing in the background?
  198. 5:27I can't really see what it's doing.
  199. 5:28Auction. Okay, there's nothing in here.
  200. 5:30No, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, what
  201. 5:33happens if I press run? No. Oh my gosh.
  202. 5:36The MC actually got it. This is actually
  203. 5:37my worst nightmare. This means one
  204. 5:39thing. We have to manually parse each
  205. 5:40item. Okay. I dreaded this, guys. It
  206. 5:42appears we have to parse each individual
  207. 5:44listing on the auction house. Oh my
  208. 5:46gosh. Ultimately, the Anachi got us. The
  209. 5:49Anachi got us. Okay. I can't believe it.
  210. 5:51But this has to work. This like the only
  211. 5:53other method. Okay, it's done. It's time
  212. 5:55to see if I'm screwed or not. I'm so
  213. 5:57nervous. We have to put in the driver
  214. 5:59this time, not the automatic. Oh my.
  215. 6:00Let's see if it starts listing. Come on.
  216. 6:02Please, man. The algorithm is not
  217. 6:03opening the auction house. This is not
  218. 6:05looking good. Is this the NH? I really
  219. 6:07can't tell. I'm not sure if the NH is
  220. 6:09like blocking the requests. Wait, no.
  221. 6:11Hold on. The balcony is actually listing
  222. 6:13it. Oh my gosh. Let's go. Now, we have
  223. 6:16to see if this block can actually earn
  224. 6:17any money or if we get banned. This is
  225. 6:19what it all comes down to. I'm going to
  226. 6:21run it for an hour and let's see what
  227. 6:22happens. And we're going to start at $2
  228. 6:24million.
  229. 6:4530 minutes in and it's still listing the
  230. 6:46items. Let's go.
  231. 7:04So, I accidentally AFKed for like 6
  232. 7:06hours, but in those 6 hours, the
  233. 7:08algorithm made $2.3 million. And looks
  234. 7:11like we stole some items from the
  235. 7:12auction house, so potentially even more.
  236. 7:14In my opinion, that is a win. All right,
  237. 7:15so I know some of you guys will say the
  238. 7:16algorithm made no money, and there's way
  239. 7:18easier ways to make money. And fishing
  240. 7:20is apparently the current meta. So, I'm
  241. 7:21going to show you guys the difference
  242. 7:22with a max rod and bait for his
  243. 7:24autofish.
  244. 7:40Okay, so AFK for 1 hour. I know it's not
  245. 7:42the same time, but my inventory kind of
  246. 7:44got really full, but hold on. There's
  247. 7:45actually some really good items here.
  248. 7:46Wait, damn. What the This actually worth
  249. 7:47a lot. All right, let's list all this
  250. 7:49and see what the comparison is. So,
  251. 7:51after selling everything, we made about
  252. 7:521.5 mil. All right, maybe there are
  253. 7:54actually better ways to make money, but
  254. 7:55that doesn't mean this algorithm cannot
  255. 7:57be improved. So, I'm going to release
  256. 7:58this in the edition server open source
  257. 8:00when the video drops so you guys can
  258. 8:01improve it yourself. And please comment
  259. 8:03any suggestions if you have them. Also,
  260. 8:04if you want to see more Don SMP content,
  261. 8:06check out my second channel as I'll be
  262. 8:07posting more updates. Thanks for
  263. 8:09watching and see you guys next time.
