Advanced Nextbots
by M-Station
Advanced Nextbots adds a set of chasing mobs called nextbots, inspired by Garry's Mod, that pursue players and break doors.
What it does
The mod brings nextbot creatures into Minecraft, each with its own look and behavior. Nextbots pursue players and can break doors in their way, which makes them a threat in survival play.
The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge and needs both the client and the server to run it. Files cover 1.16.5 – 1.21.4 across six release versions, with 0.3.5 as the latest file for 1.20.1 on Forge and for 1.21.4 on NeoForge. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
Advanced Nextbots was first published on 2024-02-26 and last updated on 2025-05-17. The catalog lists it under Cursed, with Mobs as a secondary category.
Key features
Chasing nextbot mobs
Nextbots pursue players across the world, changing the pace of exploration and combat.
Door-breaking behavior
Some nextbots break doors that stand between them and a player, so shelters need more than a locked door.
Meme-based characters
Each nextbot has a distinct design, with a gallery of their appearances available to view.
Garry's Mod inspiration
The nextbot concept follows the chase creatures popularized by Garry's Mod, adapted for Minecraft.

How it compares
Krafter's Nextbots is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 that runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it, and it is under All rights reserved. Nextblocks is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.4 that runs on the client and server and is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Advanced Nextbots differs from both by using Apache License 2.0 and requiring the mod on the client and server together.
