AutoTask
AutoTask schedules console and player command sequences on a server, running them on timers, at fixed clock times and in loops driven by server events, with YAML files for setup.
What it does
Operators describe each task in clean YAML, and the mod runs its command sequences on schedule. A task can start a set number of seconds after a trigger, such as 5s, 10s or 30s, or fire at a fixed clock time tied to UTC, for example 20:00:00 UTC. Both timing modes can be used in the same configuration, and tasks can react to server events.
Loops are built with dynamic local variables. Placeholders such as paso%, the step counter, and pasos totales%, the total count, track progress, and sequential ranges like 100-110, random values and comma-separated lists such as blue,red,green supply the values. Range transitions can run as a loop, ping-pong between ends or clamp at a limit, and dynamic conditions decide which branch executes.
AutoTask is a server-side only mod for Fabric, and Fabric API is required alongside it. The same functionality is also offered for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers. Files are published for 1.13 – 1.21.11 across 46 release versions, and the code is closed: all rights are reserved, so the source is not open for reuse.
Key features
Scheduled command sequences
Console and player commands run as sequences on a timer, with task definitions kept in YAML files.
Relative and exact timing
Tasks can start a number of seconds after a trigger or at a fixed clock time such as 20:00:00 UTC.
Loops with local variables
Repetitive loops expose the current step, index and total count as variables for use inside commands.
Ranges, lists and random values
Numeric ranges, random picks and comma-separated lists supply the values a loop cycles through.
Loop transition modes
Ranges can loop, ping-pong between ends or clamp at a limit, and dynamic conditions choose which branch runs.

How it compares
Command Runner is client-side only and published for Fabric 1.21.1 under a Creative Commons license, so it does not run on servers the way AutoTask does. Command Aliases is open source under the MIT License, works on Fabric and NeoForge 1.16.2 – 26.3, and is optional on either client or server, with a different focus on shortening commands. QuickAlias is client-side only and open source under the MIT License across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
