AutoAnchor automatically places and explodes respawn anchors to damage enemies. This module is particularly effective in the Overworld and End dimensions where anchors explode.
AutoAnchor only works in the Overworld and End dimensions. Respawn anchors do not explode in the Nether.

​
Overview

AutoAnchor finds optimal positions to place respawn anchors, charges them with glowstone, and triggers explosions to damage nearby enemies. The module calculates damage similar to AutoCrystal but uses anchors instead of crystals.

​
Features

  • Smart targeting - Damage or range-based sorting
  • Damage calculation - Predicts explosion damage
  • Auto placement - Places anchors in optimal positions
  • Auto charging - Uses glowstone to charge anchors
  • Auto explosion - Triggers charged anchors
  • Self-damage prevention - Avoids suicidal placements
  • Multi-threaded - Async calculation for performance

​
Usage

​
Required Items

You need in your hotbar:
  1. Respawn Anchor - For placement
  2. Glowstone - For charging anchors
  3. Totem or other non-block item - For triggering explosion

​
Basic Setup

  1. Enable AutoAnchor from Combat category
  2. Ensure you’re in Overworld or End dimension
  3. Put anchors and glowstone in hotbar
  4. Set appropriate damage thresholds
  5. Configure auto-switch mode

​
Dimension Restrictions

AutoAnchor automatically disables in the Nether dimension where anchors function as respawn points instead of exploding.
The module checks mc.world.getRegistryKey() == World.NETHER and returns early if true.

​
Explosion Process

  1. Place - Module places uncharged anchor
  2. Charge - Right-clicks with glowstone (charges to 4)
  3. Explode - Right-clicks with non-glowstone item
  4. Damage - Anchor explodes, dealing damage

​
Auto Switch Modes

None
  • Manual item management required
  • You must hold correct items at correct times
Normal
  • Switches to anchors/glowstone in hotbar
  • Visible switching
  • Works on most servers
Silent
  • Server-side item switching
  • Not visible to other players
  • May be detected by anti-cheat
SilentBypass
  • Advanced silent switching
  • Uses inventory packets
  • Best bypass but most detectable

​
Strategy

​
Aggressive Setup

  • Min Damage: 6+
  • Place/Explode Delay: 0-50ms
  • Timing: Soft
  • Auto Switch: Silent or SilentBypass

​
Defensive Setup

  • Min Damage: 3-4
  • Max Self Damage: 3-4
  • Anti Suicide: Enabled
  • Timing: Strict

​
Legit Setup

  • Min Damage: 4-5
  • Delays: 100-200ms
  • Timing: Strict
  • Rotate: Enabled
  • Strict Direction: Enabled

​
Integration

​
Module Conflicts

AutoAnchor pauses when:
  • Phase module is enabled
  • Blink module is enabled
  • AutoBreak performed an action
  • PriorityManager is locked by another module

​
Performance

AutoAnchor uses a single-threaded executor for async calculation: 
private final ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
This prevents lag from damage calculations affecting game performance.

​
Common Issues

  • Check if you’re in the Nether (module disabled there)
  • Verify you have anchors in hotbar
  • Ensure Auto Switch is enabled or manually hold anchor
  • Check if another module locked Priority Manager
  • Check if you have glowstone in hotbar
  • Verify you have a non-block item (totem) in hotbar
  • Increase Explode Delay
  • Check if target moved out of range
  • Lower Max Self Damage setting
  • Enable Anti Suicide
  • Increase Min Damage threshold
  • Enable Terrain calculation
  • Increase Place and Explode delays
  • Use Strict timing instead of Soft
  • Enable Strict Direction
  • Use Normal auto-switch instead of Silent
  • Enable Rotate
  • Increase Target Range
  • Lower Min Damage requirement
  • Check if enemies are within range
  • Verify targets are valid players

​
Technical Details

​
Damage Calculation

Uses CrystalUtil.calculateDamage() which accounts for:
  • Distance from explosion
  • Block protection
  • Armor reduction (if Assume enabled)
  • Terrain blocking (if Terrain enabled)

​
Anchor Charging

Anchors can be charged 4 times with glowstone. AutoAnchor:
  1. Checks current charge level with RespawnAnchorBlock.CHARGES
  2. Charges if level is 0
  3. Explodes if level is 1-4

​
Placement Logic

Searches a sphere around player for valid positions: 
BlockUtils.sphere(placeRange.getValue().doubleValue() + 1.0f, mc.player.getBlockPos(), true, false)
Calculates best position based on target damage vs self damage ratio.
