Spawn Your First Practice Bot and Gear It Up

The quickest way to start sparring is through the control panel. You don't need to type long commands, because everything is set from one menu.

Open the panel and choose gear

1. Open the chat bar and type /bot. The neon control panel opens.

2. Start on the main bot settings panel, which holds the armor and shield controls.

3. Pick the armor you want the dummy to wear. Match it to your own gear for fair fights, or give it heavier armor if you want to practice long trades.

4. Decide whether the bot should carry a shield. Turn it on if you want to practice breaking or timing around a blocking opponent.

Bring the bot into your world

1. When the gear looks right, spawn the bot from the panel.

2. Step back and give yourself some room to move before you engage.

3. Start hitting it to check that the armor and shield behave the way you expect.

Tweak without respawning

You don't have to remove the bot to change its loadout. Reopen /bot and adjust its armor or shield. Changes apply to active bots right away, so you can swap from an unarmored warm-up dummy to a fully geared opponent mid-session.

This works in singleplayer worlds and on multiplayer servers, so you can set up a training area wherever you usually play.
