BetterCC
by Cockman
BetterCC is a Forge utility for the ComputerCraft computer programs, adding editing, clipboard and program library tools to in-game computers.
What it does
BetterCC adds a set of quality-of-life improvements to ComputerCraft. Its copy and paste features let players mark text, copy, cut and paste it inside the program editor, and a configurable key delay controls how the clipboard function is triggered. Programs can be saved directly from the clipboard, saved to a program library, or imported from external .lua files. Line numbers are displayed beside the code, a cursor can be used to navigate a program, and a quick command function inputs commonly used commands.
The mod also fixes a z-fighting graphical bug that affected ComputerCraft monitors. Installing it in a modpack creates a folder named after the mod, which contains a HOW USE.txt file and a programs folder where the program library is stored. External .lua files placed there are added to the library. BetterCC is released for Forge only, with its latest file, 1.7.5, built for 1.2.5 on 2026-09-28. It is client-side only, so servers can run without it, and the code is not open source; it is published under All rights reserved.
