Better Carpet Bots

Better Carpet Bots gives server operators a bot command for spawning and managing bots in survival mode. Each bot receives a name automatically, such as Bot1 or Bot2, and a custom name may be chosen instead. Names must be 1 to 16 characters long and use only letters, digits and underscores. A name that belongs to a real player who has ever joined the server cannot be used.

A player can control a bot directly through its screen, and targeting the bot by its own name works as well. The screen stays live, and items the bot picks up appear in it immediately. The screen closes on its own once the player moves more than 10 blocks away. The inventory is laid out in rows 0 to 3 for the main inventory and hotbar, with row 4 for armor and off-hand slots. Armor slots only accept the matching armor type, and empty armor or off-hand slots are marked with labels drawn on colored glass panes. Filler slots are locked.

The command needs game-master permission level 2. The mod is server required, while the client is optional. It targets Minecraft 26.2 with Fabric Loader 0.18.4, and the Fabric file is 1.3.1, published on 2026-09-19. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
