About this project
What does Actual Players™ add?
Actual Players™
Actual Players™ adds independent players to your Minecraft world. These players are designed to behave independently and make their own decisions as they explore and survive.
What Are Actual Players?
Each player is randomly generated with their own username, skin, personality, goals, and behavior. Every world can have a different group of players with different characteristics and ways of interacting with the world.
Players are not limited to standing around or following a simple scripted routine. They can explore their surroundings, gather resources, craft items, build structures, fight enemies, eat, travel, and make decisions based on their current situation and goals.
Independent Behavior:
Every player operates independently within the world.
Players can decide where they want to go, what resources they need, what they want to work toward, and how they respond to things happening around them. Their behavior is designed to make them feel more like additional players sharing the world rather than traditional Minecraft mobs.
Different players may take different approaches to the same situation depending on their generated personality and goals.
Random Generation:
Players are randomly generated when they are created.
This includes:
- Username
- Skin
- Personality
- Goals
- Behavior
Because these characteristics can vary between players, each world can have its own unique group of independent players.
What Can They Do?
Players can currently:
- Explore the world
- Gather resources
- Craft items
- Build structures
- Fight mobs
- Eat and survive
- Build
- Travel to new areas
- Make independent decisions
- Work toward their own goal
- Interact with the Minecraft world
Singleplayer and Multiplayer:
Actual Players™ works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
In singleplayer, the independent players become additional characters living in your world.
In multiplayer, they can exist alongside real players while everyone shares the same world. You can explore, build, gather resources, and survive while the independent players continue doing their own things.
If you encounter a problem that only happens in multiplayer, please report it in the Community section so it can be investigated.
Player Limit:
Actual Players™ supports 0–4 independent players.
You can configure the number of players you want in your world depending on how you want to play.
Bugs & Feedback
Actual Players™ is an evolving project and bugs or unexpected behavior may occur.
If you find a bug, please report it in the Community section. When reporting an issue, include your Minecraft version, mod version, mod loader, and a description of what happened.
For multiplayer issues, please mention that the issue occurred in multiplayer and provide any additional information that could help reproduce it.
Screenshots, crash reports, logs, and reproduction steps are also helpful when available.
Please check existing reports before creating a new one to help keep reports organized.
Updates:
Actual Players™ may receive future updates, but updates may not always be released on a regular schedule. Some improvements, bug fixes, new features, or other changes may take longer to develop and could be released later when they are ready. Development and update timing may vary depending on the project and the time available to work on it.
The goal is to make the independent players feel increasingly natural while keeping them reliable and enjoyable to have in your world.
The Goal:
Actual Players™ is built around a simple idea:
Adds players if not or have friends for so it will feel like other players are actually playing with u.
