Pendulum
Client side script executor for Minecraft.
About this Mod
Pendulum
Client-side JavaScript executor for Minecraft. Automate player actions — movement, construction, combat, inventory,
world queries, and Baritone supported. Designed for both human players and AI agents.
This mod is partly inspired by Playwright.js, which allows agents to control web browsers via JavaScript. Pendulum
brings that same power to Minecraft, enabling complex automation and AI integration through a simple JS API.

Pendulum server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Pendulum compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
Pendulum officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Pendulum – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Pendulum consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
