Question 1

Does Bot's Lib work on Minecraft 1.20.1?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 1.20.1 is the newest Minecraft version Bot's Lib declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Question 2

Do I need to install Bot's Lib on the client or the server?

Accepted Answer

The server only. Players join with an ordinary Minecraft client and install nothing.

Question 3

Which loader does Bot's Lib need?

Accepted Answer

Forge. A build for one loader will not load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.

Question 4

Which Java version do I need for Bot's Lib?

Accepted Answer

Java 17 or newer, because that is what the newest Minecraft release it supports requires. The requirement comes from the game rather than from the mod itself.

Question 5

What licence is Bot's Lib under?

Accepted Answer

CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

Question 6

How do I install Bot's Lib?

Accepted Answer

Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the mod and Minecraft all have to be on the same version, which is the usual reason a mod does not appear in game.

Question 7

Where do I download Bot's Lib safely?

Accepted Answer

From the author's own page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference never mirrors, re-hosts or repackages a file: every download button points at the original source, so you get exactly what the author published.
