by GrippyGoater

What it does

A single command creates a bot in the server's custom bot world. Because the bot is listed in the in-game tab list, it can serve as a test subject for multiplayer features. The mod also lets server owners add pranks that make the world feel busier. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the code is licensed as All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Custom bot world

    A simple command sets up a bot world on the server, where bots can be placed and observed.

  2. Tab list presence

    Bots are listed among the players on the tab overlay, which makes them useful for testing.

  3. Pranks and activity

    Server owners can use bots for pranks that give the server more life between real players.
