Botting

Botting is automated resource gathering, usually done using Macromod, but other bot frameworks are used too. Historically botting is the result of requiring enormous amounts of crops to make exp, combined with the hands-off admin policy on CivCraft.

Recommended Mods (1.16)

 * Advanced Macros is a Forge mod that allows scripting in Lua and binding scripts to events and keys in a similar manner to Macromod.

Macromod
Macromod allows you to bind chat commands and scripts to keyboard keys, mouse buttons and custom menus. Although Macromod will not be updated to the latest Minecraft versions anymore, you can still connect to the server with a 1.12 client with Macromod installed, to benefit from the many existing scripts made for it.

Installing Macromod

 * 1) Download and install LiteLoader
 * 2) Download Macromod and move the   file to your   folder

Learning Macromod

Alternatives
Since rendering the game is quite expensive and some bots need to run all day, people created Minecraft clients that run from the console/terminal/command line:

Farming Methods
Before building Redstone-powered farms, ensure they do not exceed redstone chunk limits (water streams can often be used as a replacement).

Obsidian


Due to the SimpleAdminHacks plugin, Obsidian can be generated using String and Lava. An ideal place to set up such an Obsidian generator is between several cave spider spawners. Hooking those up to an automatic system killing the spiders and moving the String to a bot player allows generating large amounts of obsidian automatically.

Example setup, script, and usage instructions.

Portal Farms
Although there is no Nether dimension, Nether portals still spawn Pigmen. This can be used to make AFK gold farms by surrounding the player with lots of portals and putting open trapdoors on their bottom edges, allowing the Pigmen to walk and fall down into a water collection and killing system. Note that mob AI is disabled for entities more than 10 blocks away from the player, so only portals within that range will be effective.
