Carpet Mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft Java Edition built for technical players, redstone engineers, and server administrators. It adds a layered set of commands and configurable rules that expose direct control over game mechanics, automate repetitive tasks with fake player entities, and deliver detailed performance diagnostics, all while leaving vanilla behavior intact for regular players on the same server.
What Carpet Mod Adds
All rules are toggled through the /carpet command and persist in a carpet.conf file across server restarts. Rules span bug fixes for known vanilla quirks, gameplay conveniences like one-player sleeping, and a full scripting engine called Scarpet for writing custom in-game automation without additional mods.
- /player command: spawn fake players that mine, farm, craft, or hold a position continuously
- /tick command: freeze, slow, or advance game ticks for debugging farms and redstone timings
- /log command: stream per-player event data including mob spawn counts, chunk loads, and entity lag sources
- Hopper counters: measure item throughput per colored wool for precise farm output benchmarking
- Scarpet scripting engine: write repeatable in-game scripts without a separate plugin or mod
- Selectable vanilla bug fixes: enable or disable specific quirk corrections per server

Questions about this entry.
How do I install Carpet Mod?
Install Fabric Loader for your Minecraft version first, then place the Carpet Mod .jar in your mods folder. No library mods are required. Start the game or server and use /carpet in-game to view and configure available rules.
Does Carpet Mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes. Carpet is designed for server use. Players can join with a vanilla client and benefit from rules the server operator has enabled, such as one-player sleeping and vanilla bug fixes. Installing Carpet on the client adds a few extra display features but is not required to play.
What does the /player command do in Carpet Mod?
The /player command spawns a controllable fake player that can mine blocks, plant and harvest crops, interact with containers, or stay in a fixed position. It is commonly used to keep farms running, test automation loops, or simulate AFK activity on technical survival servers.
Is Carpet Mod compatible with Sodium and Lithium?
Yes. Carpet Mod works alongside both Sodium and Lithium without known conflicts. Many technical Fabric servers run all three together: Lithium for tick optimization, Sodium for client rendering, and Carpet for game control and scripting.
Which Minecraft versions does Carpet Mod support?
Carpet Mod supports Minecraft Java Edition from 1.14.4 through the latest releases. New Minecraft versions are typically updated within days of release. Always download the version matching your server's Minecraft version from the Modrinth page.
