# Numen

Puts an agent inside Minecraft as a mod that explores, decides and acts on tasks you give it in chat

Category: MCP servers. Tier: new and rising, rank 22 by new and rising score (41 of 100). Pricing: Open source. License: LGPL-3.0 for the code; screenshots and diagrams CC BY 4.0, other art reserved.

Platforms: claude-code, codex, cursor, any-mcp-client.

## Why you would want it

Numen is a Minecraft mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge that summons agents into the world: you open its panel, pick a model provider with your own API key and tell the agent what to do in plain language. The model writes Lua programs that run in a sandbox and combine atomic actions for perception, movement, digging, building and interaction, so one call can cover many steps. It can also act as an MCP server driven by an external agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and other mods can add Lua APIs through plugins.

## Best for

- Minecraft companions that act on chat commands
- Driving a Minecraft player from Claude Code or Codex
- Experimenting with embodied agents in a game

## Use it when

You want an agent that plays alongside you in Minecraft, or a game world your own coding agent can act in through MCP.

## Skip it if

You need a stable release: builds are tagged beta (0.1.x), and most documentation and issue discussion is in Chinese, with an English README. It needs your own model API key, which the README says stays on your machine, and the MCP setup steps are on the project website rather than in the README.

## Editor note

The README supports Minecraft 1.20.1 to 26.2 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with Java 17, 21 or 25 depending on the version.

## Install

Download from CurseForge, or search for Numen in your Minecraft launcher.
