Fake Players
Player look-alikes that mine, chop, guard, and haul - for you.
🤖 What is it?
Entities that look exactly like real players - auto-grabbed skins, armour, full inventories, the lot. Bond one to yourself, give it a job, and it gets to work.
🎬 Showcase
🧍 The Fake Player
- Looks like a player - real model with a skin grabbed from any username (or URL / the trending list); slim & classic.
- Acts like one - wanders, sits, sleeps, wears armour, holds items, chats, fights back.
- Carries an inventory - managed through its GUI.
🧠 AI Jobs
Shift + right-click a fake → AI → Bond, then pick a job. The GUI hands you markers (waypoint, region, chests); right-click to place them - the fake follows you while you do. Each job's menu shows only the markers it needs, and fakes visibly open the chests and barrels they work from.
| Job | Needs | Does |
|---|---|---|
| Idle | waypoint (optional) | Walks to its waypoint, else waits. |
| Follow | bond | Sticks within 32 blocks, teleports if it lags behind. |
| Guard | patrol points | Patrols your points and attacks hostiles in range. Hold the Waypoint marker to edit points - right-click adds, sneak + right-click removes. |
| Miner | region + deposit | Strip-mines ore (c:ores by default) and banks the haul. |
| Lumberjack | region (+ deposit) | Fells whole trees, replants, bonemeals; auto-collects drops. |
| Courier | source + deposit | Hauls matching items from one chest to another. |
| Fisherman | waypoint + deposit | Sits at the water and casts a real bobber; banks the catch, swaps a fresh rod when one breaks, and uses your rod's enchantments. |
| Farmer | region + deposit | Tills a plot, waters it, plants any seed (modded too), bonemeals, then harvests and replants on a loop. |
| Crafter | table + source + deposit | Walks to a crafting table and lays out a recipe you teach it by hand; chain it onto another job's chest for a pipeline. |
Tuning lives in players.json (guardRadius, minerMaxBlocksPerSecond, minerBailY).

🎨 Skins
Name a fake after a player and it wears their skin - always matching. Also:
- URL -
/players url <entity> <url> - Trending - browse and apply from the in-game list (shift + right-click).
- Slim & classic both supported.
🛠️ Get one
Craft a Robot Shell and a Robot AI and combine them in a crafting table (or use a Player Spawn Egg).

# v2.2.0
Thanks to Raileen and user_xkelxur3h8vuiwfb for the requests.
- Fakes can fight with ranged weapons (#58). A fake holding a bow, crossbow or trident now fights like a skeleton instead of walking into melee: it holds its distance, circles the target, backs off when the target closes and looses when it has a clear line of sight. Bows are drawn and released properly, crossbows charge and fire on the pillager's timing, and tridents are thrown. This applies wherever a fake already fights, so a Guard on patrol and a fake defending itself both use it.
- Ranged fakes shoot their own ammunition (#58). Arrows come out of the fake's inventory, offhand first, so tipped and spectral arrows work and a fake that runs out falls back to melee rather than shooting for free. A thrown trident is not recoverable, so the held one is damaged instead of being consumed and the fake is never left unarmed. The Infinity enchantment is not honoured yet.
- The management screen can be opened with a key of your choosing (#57). There is a new "Open Fake Player Menu" binding under a Fake Players category in the controls screen. It is unbound by default, so sneak + right-click keeps working exactly as before. Bind a key and the menu opens from that key instead while you are looking at a fake, and sneak + right-click stops opening it, which gets Fake Players out of the way of mods that claim right-click on mobs.

- Ranged fakes shoot their own ammunition (#58). Arrows come out of the fake's inventory, offhand first, so tipped and spectral arrows work and a fake that runs out falls back to melee rather than shooting for free. A thrown trident is not recoverable, so the held one is damaged instead of being consumed and the fake is never left unarmed. The Infinity enchantment is not honoured yet.
- The management screen can be opened with a key of your choosing (#57). There is a new "Open Fake Player Menu" binding under a Fake Players category in the controls screen. It is unbound by default, so sneak + right-click keeps working exactly as before. Bind a key and the menu opens from that key instead while you are looking at a fake, and sneak + right-click stops opening it, which gets Fake Players out of the way of mods that claim right-click on mobs.

- Fakes can fight with ranged weapons (#58). A fake holding a bow, crossbow or trident now fights like a skeleton instead of walking into melee: it holds its distance, circles the target, backs off when the target closes and looses when it has a clear line of sight. Bows are drawn and released properly, crossbows charge and fire on the pillager's timing, and tridents are thrown. This applies wherever a fake already fights, so a Guard on patrol and a fake defending itself both use it.
