## What it is
OpenComputers is a Minecraft mod that adds programmable computers, robots, and peripherals to the game, powered by a persistent Lua 5.2 runtime. It is written in Scala for Minecraft Forge and includes an in-game manual, community forums, and a wiki.

## Use cases
- program computers inside Minecraft with Lua
- build automated robots to farm and mine
- create in-game networks and servers
- write persistent programs that survive world reloads
- teach programming through a game
- automate Minecraft bases with code

## When to choose
- you want programmable computers and automation in a modded Minecraft world
- you prefer Lua over other in-game computer mods
- you want persistent, realistic computer simulation with components like drives and RAM

## When to avoid
- you play vanilla Minecraft without Forge
- you want a lightweight mod without a programming learning curve
- you need ComputerCraft-specific peripherals or APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: interpreter, workflow-automation, programming-language, simulation
- domain: gaming-tools, programming-languages
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: minecraft-mod, lua-vm, forge, in-game-computers, robots, scala, minecraft, automation
