Fake Player
Minecraft is a game of boundless creativity, but some tasks can feel like a grind. Chopping entire forests, strip-mining for hours, or standing guard over your base while you explore elsewhere—these chores eat up your precious time. What if you could clone yourself to handle the busywork? That is exactly what the Fake Player add-on delivers. It introduces lifelike entities that mimic real players, complete with skins, armor, and inventories, all programmed to perform specific jobs under your command.
What Exactly Is a Fake Player?
Think of it as your personal robotic workforce. A Fake Player is an entity that looks and acts like a genuine player. It uses a real player model, and you can grab a skin from any username, a direct URL, or the trending list. Both slim and classic body types are supported. These digital doppelgangers wander, sit, sleep, wear armor, hold items, chat, and even fight back when attacked. Each one carries a full inventory that you can manage through its dedicated GUI.
The Magic Behind the AI
The true power lies in the AI job system. To get started, you shift + right-click a fake to open its menu, select "AI," and then "Bond." After bonding, you can assign it a specific role. The interface provides you with markers—such as waypoints, regions, and chests—which you place in the world to define the work area. The fake player will follow you while you set these up, and its job menu only shows the markers relevant to its task. A nice touch is that fakes visibly open the chests and barrels they work from, making their actions feel transparent and believable.
Available Jobs for Your Digital Workers
Each job is designed to automate a specific grind. Here is a breakdown of what your new employees can do:
- Idle: Walks to an optional waypoint, or simply waits for further instructions.
- Follow: Sticks within 32 blocks of you, teleporting if it lags behind.
- Guard: Patrols your designated points and attacks any hostiles within range. You can edit patrol points by holding the waypoint marker.
- Miner: Strip-mines ores (defaulting to c:ores) and banks the haul in a deposit chest.
- Lumberjack: Fells entire trees, replants saplings, and even uses bonemeal to speed up growth, auto-collecting all drops.
- Courier: Hauls matching items from one chest to another, creating a simple logistics network.
- Fisherman: Sits at the water, casts a real bobber, banks the catch, and swaps in a fresh rod when one breaks. It even uses your rod's enchantments.
- Farmer: Tills a plot, waters it, plants any seed (including modded ones), bonemeals, then harvests and replants on a continuous loop.
- Crafter: Walks to a crafting table and lays out a recipe you teach it by hand. You can chain this onto another job's chest to create a full production pipeline.
Getting the Most Out of Your Fakes
You can fine-tune their behavior using the players.json configuration file. Here, you can adjust settings like guardRadius, minerMaxBlocksPerSecond, and minerBailY to optimize performance. This level of control ensures your fakes work efficiently without causing unnecessary lag.
For players looking to streamline their setup even further, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for this add-on. It handles version compatibility automatically, ensuring your Fake Player works flawlessly with your current setup.
Customization and Skins
One of the most impressive features is the skin system. If you name a fake after a specific player, it will automatically wear their skin. You can also use a URL to set a custom skin via the /players url <entity> <url> command, or browse the in-game trending list and apply a skin with a simple shift + right-click. Both slim and classic models are fully supported, so your workforce can look exactly how you want.
How to Install and Get Started
Getting your own Fake Player is straightforward. First, you need to download Fake Player from a trusted source. The add-on is compatible with several Minecraft versions, and it runs on the Fabric loader, which is known for its performance and lightweight nature. Ensure you have the correct version of Fabric installed before proceeding.
To understand how to install, the process is simple: place the downloaded JAR file into your mods folder and restart the game. Once loaded, you can craft a Robot Shell and a Robot AI in a crafting table, then combine them to create your first fake. Alternatively, you can use a Player Spawn Egg for a quicker start.
If you are using the foxygame.net launcher, the process is even smoother. The launcher's add-on catalog lets you install and manage Fake Player for Minecraft with a single click, and it automatically handles updates, so you always have the latest features and fixes.
