Though, you can spot an actual bot from watching their movements! Bots for example don't strafe, so their turns will be sudden and jagged. They don't ever jump unless they get stuck on an item for too long. They tend to stop for a set amount of time between digs, so it has a sort of rhythm to it. They don't seem at all to act much like players.
