hierarchy of tools. Progressing through this tree (wooden tool → stone tool → iron tool → diamond
tool) requires the agent to master systematic and compositional skills. Compared with baselines,
VOYAGER unlocks the wooden level 15.3× faster (in terms of the prompting iterations), the stone
level 8.5× faster, the iron level 6.4× faster, and VOYAGER is the only one to unlock the diamond level
of the tech tree (Fig. 2 and Table. 1). This underscores the effectiveness of the automatic curriculum,
which consistently presents challenges of suitable complexity to facilitate the agent’s progress.
Extensive map traversal. VOYAGER is able to navigate distances 2.3× longer compared to baselines
by traversing a variety of terrains, while the baseline agents often find themselves confined to local
areas, which significantly hampers their capacity to discover new knowledge (Fig. 7).
