Butter Bot AI - Rick and Morty
by ESKIM
Butter Bot AI - Rick and Morty adds a Forge robot worker that players claim, command and program to hunt ores, tunnel and gather items.
What it does
Players craft a Butter Bot Base and place it in the world, then right-click the robot to claim it. Once claimed, the bot can be given a resource and an amount to collect, and it searches for matching ores, digs its own tunnels and mines them. It only picks up drops tied to its current job, which keeps its backpack from filling with unwanted cobblestone.
The bot sees only a limited radius around itself and cannot look through solid walls, so it has to tunnel toward a target. Its tunnelling works one slice at a time until it reaches the selected Y level. Behaviour is driven by a priority system that checks available tasks each tick and runs the one with the highest priority. Advanced users can write their own programs for it in Lua, and a language model connection over an external cloud service can be used to describe goals in plain words.
The mod requires Forge. Files are published for 1.20.1 only, and the latest is 0.1.0, dated 2026-07-17. Both client and server need it. The code is public, and the mod is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, so it is not open source.
Key features
Robot command panel
A control panel lets players set the bot's jobs, such as which resource to hunt and how much to collect.
Autonomous mining and tunnelling
The bot finds ores, digs tunnels toward them and mines the resources it locates without manual steering.
Item collection and chest access
The bot scans nearby chests for materials, crafts items from them and hauls loot back to the player.
Rechargeable battery and Lua programs
A redstone block battery powers the bot, and its behaviour can be extended with self-written Lua scripts.

Players who know Lua can write programs that change how the bot selects tasks and handles items.
Who it’s for: Players who want an automated mining helper in a Forge 1.20.1 world, and those who enjoy scripting in-game workers. The bot is designed for single-player and multiplayer sessions where both the server and clients run the mod.
