Actually free AI for Minecraft - no monthly costs, no paid APIs!
Most AI plugins require paid API subscriptions. ServerAI uses Google's completely free Gemini API:
Note: You can also use standard Gemini models for even better responses with huge context memory (1000+ messages!), but they have lower rate limits. Gemma 3 models are recommended for unlimited usage!
plugins/ folderplugins/ServerAI/config.yml:
api: key: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"bot: name: "ServerAI" personality: "You are a helpful and friendly AI assistant..."
That's it! No complex setup, no monthly bills, no dependencies.
Player: "How do I claim land?"
AI: "Use /claim while holding a golden shovel! Right-click two corners to set your area."
NewPlayer joined the game
AI: "Welcome to the server, NewPlayer! Need help getting started? Just ask!"
Player: "What's the Discord?"
AI: "Join our Discord at discord.gg/yourserver - that's where we hang out!"
Player: "Can I fly in survival?"
AI: "Yeah bro, just believe in yourself hard enough... or maybe read the rules lol"
Player: "What's the best way to make money?"
AI: "Sell resources at /shop, complete jobs with /jobs, or set up your own player shop!"
The config file is extensively documented! Here are some personality examples:
personality: "You are a friendly server assistant. Help players with commands, rules, and gameplay. Be concise and welcoming!"
server_info: "Rules: No griefing, be respectful | IP: play.example.net | Discord: discord.gg/example"
personality: "You're a sassy AI who loves friendly banter. Give players a hard time with playful roasts, but always help them in the end. Keep it funny!"
personality: "You're the official guide for this server. You know all rules, features, and commands. Be professional and informative."

Honestly made this for fun, but I'll probably add more stuff! Some ideas:
Feel free to suggest features!
🎯 Give it context! The more server info you provide in config, the better it helps players
🎯 Adjust cooldowns if it's too chatty or too quiet
🎯 Use custom instructions to teach it specific commands or features
🎯 Read the config file - seriously, it's super well documented with examples!
🎯 Experiment with models - Gemma 3 for unlimited usage, or Gemini for better quality + huge context (1000+ messages!)
