Building Custom Role Lists with the Script Builder

You are not restricted to a single default setup. Storytellers can assemble tailored mystery scenarios directly inside Minecraft before distributing roles to the lobby.

Assembling a Custom Script

After running /botb setup, navigate to the in-game script builder interface from your storyteller menus. Here you can organize custom role lists to fit your group size and preferred complexity. Add good townsfolk and hidden evil characters to shape the deduction puzzle your players will try to solve. Because everything is managed through the in-game menus, you can adjust a role list between rounds without editing external files.

Adding Special Roles and Checking Jinxes

The script builder supports expanded role categories beyond standard townsfolk and evils:

• Travelers: Include roles designed for players who join late, leave early, or face exile instead of normal execution.
• Fabled and Loric: Add special roles to adjust match rules or balance unusual setups.
• Homebrew Roles: Incorporate custom homebrew roles and scripts into your list alongside standard options.

Once you finalize and load your custom script into the match, both your Grimoire and every player's personal client reference menu will automatically update with the custom role list, adjusted night order tables, and any active jinx warnings.
