NotchNet
by aaravchour
With NotchNet installed, players can ask a personal AI assistant about Minecraft mechanics, progression and modded gameplay without leaving the game.
What it does
NotchNet is a client-side connector to a personal AI backend. A player types a question in the game chat, the mod sends it to the backend, and the answer appears in the game. Only the backend is contacted, and the mod does not send data to external servers for collection. Because requests run asynchronously, the AI can work in the background while the player keeps playing.
The backend answers from a local retrieval pipeline built on real Minecraft Wiki data. The mod can also scan the installed mods and share that list with the backend, so answers can cover other mods in a modpack. NotchNet is client-side only, so servers and other players do not need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.7.10 – 1.21.11 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Questions are typed in the ordinary Minecraft chat, and answers are shown there without switching windows.
Mod-aware answers
The installed mod list is shared with the local backend, giving the assistant context about the pack being played.
Local retrieval
Answers draw on a local pipeline indexed from real Minecraft Wiki data, aiming for accurate replies to mechanics questions.

How it compares
OmniAssist is client-side only, published for Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License. MineAgent is client and server, open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and only for 1.20.1, so every player and the server must run it. MC Assist is server-side only and Fabric-only for 1.21 – 1.21.11, so players join without installing it.
