MacroCraft
by Boxadactle
MacroCraft records keyboard and mouse input in Minecraft and replays it as a macro, so repetitive in-game tasks can run without manual clicks.
What it does
Players capture a sequence of keyboard and mouse actions with a single click, then replay the recorded macro to repeat the task. A saved macro can be loaded again later and removed once it is no longer needed. Each macro can be adjusted after recording, with individual steps changed or new actions inserted into the sequence.
Playback is configurable: a macro can be set to run at a chosen speed and for a chosen number of repetitions, and it can be started by triggers that respond to what happens in the game. Settings are kept per macro, so one recording can be tuned for a different situation. The client-side environment means only the player's game runs the macros, with no server installation required.
MacroCraft depends on BoxLib, a client-side library by the same author, and it must be installed alongside it. Versions 4.0.0 and later require BoxLib. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across seven release versions 1.20 – 1.20.6.
