If you're searching for a MyBot alternative, you probably already know the story: the beloved free bot that farmed billions of loot for the community has been struggling to keep up with game and emulator updates. This page is an honest look at where MyBot.run stands today, and how Goblins Farm compares, including the parts where MyBot still wins.
Let's start there. MyBot.run was, and in some ways still is, a remarkable project. Free, open source, built and maintained by volunteers for years, with a forum community that helped thousands of players automate their farming. It set the standard for what a screen-reading Clash of Clans bot should be: no client modification, no memory editing, just computer vision and simulated taps. If you used it in its prime, you know how good it was.
Nothing here is meant to trash MyBot. The problem isn't the idea or the code quality. The problem is time.
A vision-based bot is in a permanent race with the game. Every Clash of Clans update that moves a button, changes a font, or redesigns a screen can break detection. Every emulator update can change how the bot captures the screen or sends input. Someone has to notice, fix it, test it, and ship it, every single time.
For a volunteer project, that's brutal. MyBot's maintenance has slowed dramatically, and the gap between "game update breaks the bot" and "community patch lands" has stretched from days to weeks to, sometimes, never. Threads asking "is MyBot working right now?" have become a genre of their own. A bot you have to babysit and hand-patch isn't really automating anything.
That's the honest trade-off of free: nobody is on the hook. Nobody owes you a fix. When the volunteers move on with their lives, as volunteers eventually do, the bot quietly dies.
| MyBot.run | Goblins Farm | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free, open source | One-time lifetime license from €60 |
| Maintenance | Community volunteers; currently stalled | Actively maintained; auto-updater checks for new releases on launch |
| Platforms | Windows only | Windows and macOS (signed & notarized Mac app) |
| Detection method | Screen reading + simulated input | Screen reading (template matching + OCR) + simulated input |
| Main village farming | Yes, highly configurable | Yes, loot thresholds, dead-base skipping, farm-to-target stop |
| Builder Base | No | Full automation: both battle stages, elixir cart, storages-full stop |
| Remote control | No built-in phone control | Phone notifications + Start/Stop/Status from your phone via ntfy.sh |
| Reliability today | Unreliable after recent updates | Fixes shipped when game updates break detection |
Where MyBot still wins: it's free, and it's open source, you can read every line and tweak anything. If you're on Windows, technically inclined, and happy to wait out broken periods or patch things yourself, MyBot may still serve you. That's a legitimate choice.
The core of Goblins Farm's pitch isn't features, it's that someone is paid to care. When a game update moves the attack button, that's not a forum thread hoping a volunteer shows up; it's a bug that gets fixed and shipped through the auto-updater. The one-time license (Main Base €60, Builder Base €60, or €100 for both) funds exactly that. No subscription, no monthly rent, you pay once and updates keep coming.
Beyond maintenance, the practical differences former MyBot users notice most:
Switching bots does not change the fundamental deal: all automation violates Supercell's Terms of Service, MyBot and Goblins Farm alike. Screen-reading bots that never touch the game client carry far lower risk than mod clients or memory editors, but the risk is never zero, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. Both tools sit in the same lower-risk category; the difference between them is maintenance and platform support, not immunity. Read our full breakdown: Can you get banned for botting Clash of Clans?
MyBot earned its reputation, and if it's working for you today, keep using it. But if you're tired of checking forums to find out whether this week's update broke your farm, or you're on a Mac, or you want the Builder Base farmed too, that's the gap Goblins Farm was built to fill. Install BlueStacks, run the setup wizard, set your loot targets, and it farms.
