Understudy - Simulated Players

Understudy is a behavior pack for Minecraft Bedrock Edition that allows you to spawn and control simulated players. Simulated players are entities that can be controlled by commands but otherwise act almost exactly like normal players.

This behavior pack is a Canopy extension, which means the Canopy addon must be active in the same world.

This is explained in Canopy's wiki. Just use /tag @s add CanopyAdmin to gain access to ./canopy to enable the commandPlayer rule.

I love this, i always need to look for a friend to help me test my maps and stuff, but thanks to you im actually able to do this without begging them, it also redirects you to canopy which i also freaking love, thank you so much.

Question for the devs

1.can it be affected by potion effects, or make modifications in the addon files

2.is it compatible with any add-on

3.what is the purpose of the addon
1
1. Yes.
2. Mostly. Understudy is highly compatible, but Canopy has some slight incompatibilities.
3. Any instance where you might need a player. This is mostly a technical addon for designing and running farms.

that's a game changer, because it can revolutionize the way of mods using automation

Can't switch rule says I don't have permission.

Doesn't work on servers

This pack is designed to work in both singleplayer and BDS environments. If you're using aternos, they've blocked fake players so that their servers can't be kept alive 24/7.

Is it available for Java?

I cant spawn anything in. i switched the rule to true and ran the command ./player join. However it doesn't give me any feedback or do anything. I just send the text and then it disappears.
1
The command is ./player [name] join, not just ./player join
1
try ./player (the name you want) join

can make a server 24/7?
1
nope, servers detect and kick them out

Somehow, the download page is not working, it’s just on loading site for too long and doesn’t work. How do I fix this?
1
can't wait to try and make custom bosses with this
1
Can i use it in 1.21.2?
1
This pack is only for 1.21.20 so far. I will continue to support the latest version but will not ensure backward compatibility.

how to have friends without having friends. in other words, how to run an smp without having “multiplayer”
