Carpet PvP Practice

Carpet PvP

Carpet with PvP practice built in. It adds server-side bots that fight back, so you can practise on your own server at any hour without a sparring partner. Everything runs on the server: a vanilla client can join and fight.

What you get

• Bots that fight in five modes: sword, smp, mace, crystal and ranged, each with its own kit.
• Five difficulty levels, from beginner to expert. They differ in reaction time, aim, click rate and which techniques the bot uses, and every setting can be changed per bot.
• One command to start: /auto-setup sword average builds a fenced arena next to you, gives you and a bot the same kit, counts down and starts the fight. /auto-setup stop puts every block and your inventory back.
• Practice tools: drills that score you, team and free-for-all matches, spectating a bot, fight traces, built-in kits and a kit editor.
• Chest menus (/bot gui) that work with a vanilla client.
• CarpetLogic: program a bot in your browser with a graph of nodes instead of a script. See below.
• Carpet itself: fake players, Scarpet and the rules you already know.

What you need

Fabric API is required: without it the game stops at start-up and says so. The Minecraft launcher brings the right Java by itself; on a server you install it yourself.

Install

Singleplayer

1. Install Fabric Loader for your Minecraft version.
2. Download Fabric API and Carpet PvP, both for the same Minecraft version, and put the two jars in your mods folder (.minecraft/mods).
3. Start the game with the Fabric profile and open a world.

Server

1. Set up a Fabric server for your Minecraft version.
2. Put the Fabric API jar and the Carpet PvP jar in the server's mods folder and start it.
3. Players join with a normal client. They do not need the mod.

How to use it

Use release 19 or newer.

1. Get a bot. Be in survival mode and type /bot spawn. A bot in diamond armour with a sword appears three blocks in front of you and attacks you. A bot leaves a player in creative mode alone.
2. Get more. Type /bot spawn again: they are named Bot1, Bot2 and so on.
3. Make one stop. /bot stop Bot1 makes it stand still. /player Bot1 kill removes it.
4. Pick the weapon and the level. /bot spawn Tom mace expert spawns a bot named Tom that fights with a mace at the hardest level. The weapons are sword, smp, mace, crystal, anchor and ranged; the levels are beginner, casual, average, skilled and expert.
5. Get the same gear as the bot. /bot kit give @s sword gives you its kit, and /bot kit restore gives you back what you had.
6. Use buttons instead. /bot opens a menu with the bots, their settings and the kits.
7. Have a proper match. /auto-setup sword average builds a fenced arena next to you, gives you and a bot the same kit, counts down, keeps the score and offers a rematch. /auto-setup stop puts every block and your inventory back.
8. Watch two bots fight. /bot spawn A sword, /bot spawn B sword, then /bot duel A B.

Every player may use /bot by default. A server admin restricts it to operators with /carpet commandBot ops.

Program a bot in your browser

CarpetLogic is a visual editor: you chain nodes (move, look, fight, wait, branch, loop) and the bot does what the graph says.

1. In game, run /carpetlogic open and click open in browser in chat. It is for operators by default; /carpet commandCarpetLogic true opens it to everyone.
2. In the editor, press Spawn in the Bots panel. The bot appears where you are standing.
3. Press a preset such as W-Tap or Crit Chain on the empty canvas, or click nodes in the library on the left to chain them after Start.
4. Choose the bot under the canvas and press Run.

Programs save themselves to the world folder. On a server that is not your own computer the admin has to open the editor up first: see the CarpetLogic page.

Versions

Java and Fabric API versions are in What you need. Minecraft 26.1.2 stays on release 17.

What is not there yet

• The crystal bot fights with crystals but does not yet use respawn anchors, take the low ground or combine a knockback hit with a crystal in a live fight.
• The SMP bot is about even with a sword bot of the same level; it should be ahead.
• The ranged bot lays its TNT minecart trap but does not light it reliably.
