AI Chatbot
by jejomic
AI Chatbot lets players chat with an AI assistant in-game, answering questions with the rules, lore and information a server owner writes down for it.
What it does
Players greet the AI and ask questions, and it replies using the server knowledge the owner provides. A server-wide default persona is configurable, and the server owner writes a short server-info.md with bullet points covering the server name, rules, key commands and drop information. The assistant answers in that voice, so replies stay tied to the server rather than generic, made-up answers. The default content ships empty-ish as a template, so nothing about a particular server is pre-loaded. Administrators can also allow the assistant to hand out items, with limits they control.
Chat replies depend on a key from an external AI service, and the default service is Groq, which offers a free tier. Installing the jar works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and on Paper as a plugin. After editing the knowledge file, an administrator runs mcaichatbot reload in-game, or restarts the server, and the changes take effect. Files are published for the 1.21.11 line and for 26.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest alpha build dated 2026-08-30. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
In-game AI chat
Players talk to an AI assistant directly in the game chat, with no separate app or website.
Server knowledge base
The assistant answers from a server-info.md file, so rules, commands and lore come from the owner's own text.
Configurable default
A server-wide default persona can be changed, and a full configuration reference explains each option.
Reload without restart
Edits to the knowledge file are applied with the mcaichatbot reload command, though a restart also works.

How it compares
GroqCraft AI is a Fabric-only client and server mod under the MIT License, but it is not open source and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11. Ask Merl is open source under the MIT License, installs on Fabric and Quilt, and is client-side only, so servers need nothing. ServerChan is server-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with builds across 1.12 – 1.21.10.

It can optionally hand out items too, with limits you control. Nothing about it is pre-loaded with any particular server's…
