Metropolize AI - Talos
by Metropolize
Metropolize AI - Talos adds Talos, an NPC player that explores, mines and crafts on its own and reacts to chat instructions.
What it does
Talos is an automated bot that behaves like a player. Players can tether it to a nearby location or entity, including themselves, and send it back to its home point. A player's bed can serve as a global spawn point for Talos, and items can be added to it at the start of exploration.
Talos responds to a limited set of natural language instructions typed in chat, so the number of actions it can perform is fixed at the moment. Several chat commands also control its behavior. A gray system message is logged each time a chat message triggers an action, which shows whether Talos understood the request or misread it.
The mod is a preview of Metropolize Companions, which incorporates AI-generated agents into Minecraft. The developers are still working on it and plan to add new capabilities, behaviors and companions with varying personalities in the coming months. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, with the latest file v0.5.0 published as a beta release on 2026-03-12. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Autonomous exploration
Talos explores, mines and crafts independently, so it can gather resources without constant direction.
Tethering and home points
Talos can be tethered to a nearby location or entity, including the player, and returned home on request.
Chat-driven instructions
Talos carries out a set of supported actions when it receives matching natural language requests in chat.
Debugging messages
Gray system messages appear in the chat log whenever a message triggers Talos, showing which requests were understood.
