Macros & actions

Macros and actions let you automate repetitive tasks. Record a sequence of inputs, schedule them to run on a timer, or build complex workflows with the visual action builder. This feature is available on Pro and Custom plans.

Macro recorder

The macro recorder captures a sequence of actions as you perform them. Once recorded, you can replay the macro as many times as you want.

1

Start recording

Click the record button in the macro panel. Everything you do from this point is captured.

2

Perform your actions

Move, send chat messages, run commands - whatever you want your bot to repeat. Delays between actions are recorded too.

3

Stop and save

Click stop, give your macro a name, and save it. You can now assign it to any account.

Visual action builder

The action builder is a drag-and-drop interface for creating more complex automation. Instead of recording, you define each step manually with full control over timing and conditions.

Available action types include:

  • Send chat message - Type a message or command for the bot to send.
  • Move - Walk, jump, sneak, or sprint in a direction.
  • Wait - Pause for a specified duration between actions.
  • Loop - Repeat a set of actions a specific number of times or indefinitely.
  • Conditional - Execute actions only when certain conditions are met (e.g., a chat message containing specific text).

Use cases

  • Send a chat message every few minutes to stay active on servers with chat-based AFK checks
  • Automatically run a command when your bot joins a server
  • Walk to a specific location and interact with the environment
  • Respond to certain chat messages automatically

Note:Macros run server-side in the cloud, so they continue to execute even when you close the browser. They persist across reconnects if auto reconnect is enabled.

Tip:Start with simple macros (like sending a command on a timer) and work your way up to the action builder for more complex automation. See the AFK guide for tips on combining macros with anti-AFK settings.
