Usage
How to run the program:
Using the command line parameters:
Windows
Simply run MinecraftClient.exe
Tip
On Windows it's best using Windows Terminal for the best experience and looks. Some features like emojis in the /chunk
command do not work in CMD or Powershell 5
Linux, macOS
To run the client you need to type the following command in your terminal emulator:
./MinecraftClient
If you want to keep it running in the background you can use screen
(Linux only)
Example:
# Start the screen
screen -S mcc
# Run it
./MinecraftClient
# Detach from the screen by pressing CTRL + A + D
# Re-attach if you want to have accces again
screen -r mcc

Command-line usage
Minecraft Console Client has a plethora of useful command line parameters, here you can learn about them.
For people not familiar with the command line
For people who are not familiar with the usage of programs in the command line (terminal emulators), here we will explain what every single thing means, if you're already experienced you can skip this.
In command line (terminal emulators) you can run programs by specifying their name and hitting enter, usually programs have additional way of being configured, started or provided some additional data in a different manner, this is achieved by using command line parameters.
Command line parameters are written after the name of the program, they're separated by spaces and they can have a few different formats, examples:
someparameter
-some-parameter
--some-other-parameter
--some-setting="some value"
-a=5
Parameters with a single dash (-
) are usually used for a single letter (short-hand) parameters, while the ones with a double dash (--
) are being used for parameters with a longer/full name.
When you are reading examples, you will often see something like this: <something here>
, this means that this is a place holder and it should be changed with some value, excluding the <
and the >
.
For example <username>
you need to change to an username of your liking, example: notch
(<
and >
should not be included).
[
and ]
mean that a parameter is an optional one.
They also can hold some values, example from the MCC:
MinecraftClient.exe --debugmessages=false
When a parameter has a textual value that includes one more spaces, you will need to wrap it the value in double quotes ("
), example: --some-parameter="some text here with spaces in it"
Here is an example for using a --help
command line parameter for MCC that will print out a page on how to use MCC from the command line:
MinecraftClient.exe --help
Quick usage of MCC with examples
Tip
On Linux and macOS, you need to type: ./MinecraftClient
instead of MinecraftClient.exe
MinecraftClient.exe --help
MinecraftClient.exe <username> <password> <server>
MinecraftClient.exe --setting=value [--other settings]
MinecraftClient.exe --section.setting=value [--other settings]
MinecraftClient.exe <settings-file.ini> [--other settings]
Examples:
# Logging in as a user: notch, with a password: password123 onto a server with the ip: mc.someserver.com:25565
MinecraftClient.exe notch password123 mc.someserver.com:25565
# Overriding a setting from MinecraftClient.ini using a command line parameter
MinecraftClient.exe --debugmessages=false
# Providing a custom settings ini file and overriding a language to Chinese
MinecraftClient.exe CustomSettingsFile.ini --language=zh
Rules of using the command line parameters
You can mix and match arguments by following theses rules:
- First positional argument may be either the login or a settings file
- Other positional arguments are read in order: login, password, server, command
- Arguments starting with
--
can be in any order and position
Examples and further explanations:
MinecraftClient.exe <login> <password> <server>
- This will automatically connect you to the chosen server.
- You may omit password and/or server to specify e.g. only the login
- To specify a server but ask password interactively, use
""
as password. - To specify offline mode with no password, use
-
as password.
MinecraftClient.exe <login> <password> <server> "/mycommand"
- This will automatically send
/mycommand
to the server and close. - To send several commands and/or stay connected, use the 1ScriptScheduler1 bot instead.
MinecraftClient.exe <myconfig.ini>
- This will load the specified configuration file
- If the file contains login / password / server ip, it will automatically connect.
MinecraftClient.exe --setting=value [--other settings]
- Specify settings on the command-line, see possible value in the configuration file
- Use
--section.setting=value
for settings outside the[Main]
section - Example:
--antiafk.enabled=true
for enabling theAntiAFK
bot
MinecraftClient.exe <myconfig.ini> <login> <password> <server> [--other settings]
- Load the specified configuration file and override some settings from the file

.MCC defines inventories as containers internally, so player's inventory, chests, droppers, dispensers, hoppers, chest minecarts, barrels, furnaces, etc... are all considered a container, and each one of them has it's ID, the words container and inventory can be used interchangeably.
Inventory has slots and each one of them has an id.
Tip
This command DOES NOT physically open a container (eg. chest), for that you need to use
useblock
command first.An example of player inventory with annotated IDs in ASCII art and a list of items:
Usage:
Basic usage:
/inventory <player|container|<id>> <action> [action parameters] | /inventory <inventories/i> | /inventory <search/s> <item type> [amount]
