Movement Macros
by Anxietie
Movement Macros lets players script sequences of movement, camera and stop actions, along with event-triggered macros, for the Fabric client on 1.20.4.
What it does
Movement Macros adds customizable macros that move the player through a chain of actions. Movement macros control walking and direction, camera macros rotate the view, and stop macros end a running sequence. Event macros fire in response to in-game events rather than a key press alone, which lets a sequence start at a chosen moment.
The mod works on the client alone, so a server owner does not need to install it and players on multiplayer servers can use it without any server-side change. A debug mode helps when a macro does not behave as expected. Example macros are described in the project wiki, which is the main place to learn how to write new ones.
Installation requires Fabric API on the Fabric loader. Movement Macros is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are publicly linked. Files target 1.20.4 only; the latest is v1.1-alpha, published on 2024-07-11 on the alpha channel.
Key features
Movement macros
Sequences of walking and directional steps can be recorded and replayed as a single customizable macro.
Camera macros
Scripted camera movements rotate the view as part of a macro, useful for repeatable cinematic angles.
Stop macros
A stop macro ends a running sequence so a movement chain does not continue past the point the player intends.
Event macros
Macros can be set to start on in-game events instead of a manual key press.
Debug mode
An optional debug mode reports macro steps, which helps when writing or troubleshooting a sequence.

Who it’s for: Players who want to automate repeated movement or camera actions on Fabric 1.20.4, and anyone who wants to write their own macro scripts using the wiki examples.
How it compares
Command Macros is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.19.1 – 1.20.4 on Fabric, so it covers the same version as Movement Macros. MacroRecorder is also client-side only and uses the MIT License, but it is not open source and covers 1.20 – 1.21.11, which reaches further. Mayflower is a Fabric mod for 1.20.3 – 1.20.4 with a client and server environment and the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it needs installing on both sides.
