Run something like this on your own server
This mod started as a single prompt. Generate your own version with different balance, mechanics, or rules, then put it in front of your players on a server you control.
PVP Bot
Create a mod with /pvpbot [difficulty = easy, medium, hard] command that spawns a armorstand w/ full armor holding a diamond sword that runs at and attacks...
PVP Bot adds a /pvpbot [difficulty] command (easy/medium/hard, default easy) that spawns a diamond-clad armor stand with a sword and targets the invoking player until it dies or the player leaves/spectates.
- The bot sprints toward the player and deals melee damage tuned per difficulty (speed and attack cooldown increase with difficulty).
- Bots are removed automatically when killed or when their target is gone or in another dimension.
- A configurable spawn message is read from
config/pvpbot.properties(spawn_message, supports{difficulty}placeholder for display). - Mod id:
pvpbot; works in both client and server environments for Minecraft 1.21.1.
Known notes: Movement uses direct velocity steering rather than vanilla pathfinding, so terrain obstacles are not navigated intelligently. Armor may drop on death since drop rates are not suppressed.
