F-Tech: Robots
by BillBodkin
With F-Tech: Robots, a player can command robots that build railways, bridges, tunnels and embankments between two points.
What it does
F-Tech: Robots is a Fabric technology mod that adds building robots. A player designates a cubic area, picks the block to place, and the robots clear and fill the space. Robots can also construct schematics from the Create mod, and they keep working while chunk-loaded, so a build can continue far from the player.
The robots are supplied by a provider chest system that feeds them a steady stream of building materials, and they fit into existing automation setups. Pathfinding is based on a fork of Automatone, with a Jar-in-Jar library, and configuration is handled by SimpleConfig. Robots run on the Fabric loader for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
The mod needs Architectury API, F-Tech: Core and Fabric API to start. The latest Fabric file is 1.0-rc.12 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-02-21, and the mod was first published on 2024-03-26.
Key features
Area filling with chosen blocks
A designated cubic area can be cleared or filled with a selected block, with the robots doing the work.
Pathfinding to a target point
Robots can be sent from point A to point B to build a railway, bridge, tunnel or embankment along the route.
Create schematic building
Robots can construct intricate schematics from the Create mod.
Chunk-loaded robot controllers
A robot controller keeps its robots loaded, so building continues even when the player is far from the site.
Chest-fed material supply
A provider chest system delivers building materials to the robots continuously.
