About this Mod
Advanced Fake Players (Beta)
Ever wanted to test a multiplayer feature but had nobody available to join your world? Or maybe you're simply looking for new ways to have fun with your friends?
No more launching multiple Minecraft clients just to test multiplayer mechanics, mods, datapacks, command block creations, or server features.
Most fake player mods rely on chat commands, scripted actions, or limited NPC behavior. Advanced Fake Players takes a completely different approach by creating highly integrated synthetic players and introducing a Direct Possession System, allowing you to seamlessly take control of alternative players from a single Minecraft instance.
Create, possess, and interact with fully integrated fake players as if they were real accounts connected to the server.
To spawn the player, just type: /fakeplayer spawn
