Related question: Will an RL agent successfully obtain a diamond in the 2019 Minecraft RL challenge?
This question is a disambiguation of the related question on the NeurIPS 2019 MineRL Challenge. Since (thanks to investigation by @Mesa_optimal) it is possible to discover a diamond in the ObtainDiamond environment as opposed to only crafting it, this question is a harder version of the general "obtain" question.
Will an RL agent successfully obtain through mining a diamond in the 2019 Minecraft RL challenge?
Resolution
The RL agent must obtain the diamond through the act of mining (i.e. by using an iron or diamond pickaxe on a vein of diamond ore). This tests closer to the core operationalization of whether an RL agent can complete a series of subgoals in an open world environment.
