Macros and automations

Macros do things for your account while you're away: eat when hungry, sell on a timer, log out when a stranger comes near, or any routine you build yourself. They run on our servers with your PC off. Macros are part of the Standard and Pro plans.

Open the server folder's menu, choose Server Settings, then Macros.

Ready-made automations#

Pick one from the Automations Library, click Add, and it moves to On this server, where you choose the accounts and settings.

Build your own#

Click New macro to open the editor. Pick what starts it, then add steps.

Start it when: the account joins or leaves, dies, takes damage, gets low on health, a chat message matches, or on a timer.

Steps you can add:

  • Click, attack, use the held item or break a block
  • Send a message or command
  • Click slots in menus and the inventory, click an item by name, close a menu
  • Hold, swap, drop or place items
  • Move, look, sneak or jump
  • Wait, or disconnect

Stop it when: it has run for a set time, health gets low, a chat message matches, or the inventory is full.

Loop it: run once, a set number of times, or until you switch it off.

Test, copy and check#

  • Test runs a macro once so you can watch it.
  • Duplicate copies one to tweak.
  • The Activity log shows each time a macro ran.

Example: sell from a shop menu every 10 minutes#

  1. Start it on a timer, every 10 minutes.
  2. Chat: /shop.
  3. Wait 1 second.
  4. Click Item: the shop category.
  5. Wait 1 second.
  6. Click Item: the sell button, then Close GUI.
