Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This mod is for Fabric only, on Minecraft version 1.16.x

The Self-Governing Catalyst has 3 buttons within its GUI:
Click: Left-click or Right-click. Lets the Self-Governing Catalyst simulate either player left-click or right-click.
Aim: Straight, (slight) Up or (slight) down. Changes the vertical direction (pitch) of the simulated player's aim. Note that the aim direction will remain the same (straight) even if you change between them when the Self-Governing Catalyst is facing directly up or down.
Redstone: Ignore, Low or High. Changes the Redstone signal the block has to receive to activate it.
