Introduction to Bots
Among Us in Minecraft introduces the ability to use bots.
Bots behave like real players, but are fully controlled by the server.
What can bots do?
Section titled “What can bots do?”At the moment, bots have a limited set of abilities and features. They can:
- Move around
- Perform tasks
- Kill players
- Report bodies
- Chat and vote in meetings
- And more coming soon!
Configuring bots
Section titled “Configuring bots”Basic bot functionality works out of the box and requires no setup.
However, to enable chat and smarter voting behavior, you need to configure AI support.
Currently, only OpenRouter is supported.
To enable AI:
- Enable it in
config.yml - Add your OpenRouter API key in
secrets.properties
We recommend using google/gemini-2.5-flash. It is a fast and cost-efficient model — and speed matters here.
Adding bots
Section titled “Adding bots”There are currently nine available bots. The only difference between them is their name and skin.
We use default Minecraft skins and names for the bots:
- Alex
- Air
- Efi
- Kai
- Makena
- Noor
- Steve
- Sunny
- Zuri
To add a bot to your game, run:
/au bot add <bot_name>To remove a bot from your game, run:
/au bot remove <bot_name>Once added, bots will join the game and send a random message in chat.
If AI is enabled, you can also write messages to the bot(s), and one or more of them will respond.
