The Prototype: Autonomous Management Agent, shortened and known as "PAMA", is a character in Minecraft: Story Mode and the main antagonist in the 7th episode "Access Denied". It has the ability to mind control and thus enslave humans and mobs. PAMA is voiced by Jason "jtop" Topolski.
Appearance
PAMA consisted of a large green monitor from the outside, and another monitor together with redstone machinery in the inside. It was capable of turning on lamps on its monitor to create symbols or pictures of faces that represent emotions. The entire machinery is consisted of redstone cables with repeaters that also connects to each of the monitors from the inside and the outside. There are three spires that connects wirelessly to the redstone heart. The redstone heart powers the whole computer and is placed in a vertical flying machine.
Personality
PAMA was designed to always strive for progress. It is a computer that helps automate things such as farming or mining and to put monsters to good use before it makes them "Useful." While it is unknown if PAMA was capable of experiencing emotions, it was ready to do anything to thrive. According to Harper, when PAMA realized the inhabitants of Crown Mesa were not useful enough, it has attached redstone chips to their heads to control them. When PAMA realized water was its weakness, it had removed almost all water in its world.
Biography
It was a giant computer from Crown Mesa created by Harper to automate things such as farming or mining and to put monsters to good use. However, the invention saw the townspeople as "inefficient" and enslaved them, making them "useful." It used redstone chips to remotely control its victims. It's motivation after Jesse entered Mesa was to use the enslaved people and mobs to re-create the portal so that PAMA can expand themself to the rest of the world.

Trivia
- The message "PAMA will process that" appears instead of "PAMA will remember that".
- PAMA was based on redstone computers.
- When PAMA states that: "I honestly think you should sit down and think things over," and (through mind-controlled Lukas/Petra) "I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but-," it is a reference to HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which HAL says "Dave, I know I've made some pretty poor decisions lately; why don't you sit down, take a stress pill, and think things over?"
- PAMA (presumably) sometimes makes sounds similar to ones one can hear when dialing up to BBS on the computer.
- It was revealed by Eric Stirpe that PAMA was in control of Crown Mesa for about 15 years before Jesse and their friends showed up.[1]
- PAMA is the third episodic antagonist of the series, after Aiden and the White Pumpkin, and the fourth antagonist of the series overall. It is the second antagonist created by a person in the series, after the wither storm, created by Ivor.
- PAMA is also the second antagonist to not have a gender and to be non-human, after the wither storm.
- If Jesse is caught by PAMA, the death screen will say, "You have been made useful!", instead of "You died!"
- However, if Jesse is inside PAMA and gets killed, the death screen will still say "You died!"
- In a pre-release build of Access Denied and Below the Bedrock, leftover model and texture both named "obj_babyPAMA" exists in the files.[2] The assets are later removed in the final builds of the game.
