Sick Sheet’s Practice Bot Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I spawn my first practice bot?
Type /bot in chat to open the control panel, then pick the bot's armor, shield and attack settings. Spawn it into your world to start sparring.
Do I have to respawn the bot every time I change a setting?
No. Changes you make in the control panel apply to active bots right away, so you can adjust gear, effects or attack behavior in the middle of a session.
How do I make the bot fight back instead of just standing there?
Open /bot and go to the attack configuration tab, where you can adjust the bot's combat and combo behavior. A bot that attacks you is how you practice hit combos and shield timing under real pressure.
Can I practice shield timing against the bot?
Yes. Turn on the bot's attacks in the attack configuration tab so it swings at you, then practice raising your shield as it attacks. You can also give the bot a shield from the main settings panel so you have to break through its block.
What are the totem practice modes?
The totem practice menu has three separate modes at different difficulty levels, all built to train quick totem swaps under pressure. Start on the easiest mode and move up once your swaps feel consistent.
Does the bot run out of totems?
No. You can equip the bot with auto-refilling totems of undying, which keeps a long fight going so you can practice finishing it or keep drilling combos without stopping to restock it.
Can I give the bot potion effects?
Yes. The status effect selection screen in the control panel lets you apply specific potion effects to bots, so the fight feels more like a buffed real opponent.
How do I save and load my PvP gear with /kit?
Type /kit by itself to save your current inventory and armor as a kit file. Type /kit followed by a kit number to load that layout into your inventory. A common mistake is typing /kit without a number when you meant to load, which saves your current setup instead.
Where are my kits stored?
Kits are saved as files to your storage drive, not as items in your world. Set up your armor and hotbar exactly how you want them before typing /kit, because the kit saves whatever you are wearing and holding at that moment.
Does this mod work on multiplayer servers, and will lots of bots cause lag?
The mod supports both singleplayer worlds and multiplayer servers. If /bot isn't recognized on a server, ask the admin whether the mod is installed there. Each bot is an active fighting entity, so keep only the bots you are actually training against to avoid unnecessary load.
