Getting Started with Custom NPCs

To begin your custom NPC creation journey, you'll need to install the Custom NPCs mod. If you're unsure about the installation process, don't worry! You can easily find the download link in the description below. Once you've downloaded and added the mod to your Minecraft folder, you're all set to unleash your creativity.

Tools of the Trade

Upon entering the world of custom NPCs, you'll encounter an array of tools at your disposal. From wands to cloners, scripters to mounters, the possibilities are endless. For this tutorial, we'll focus on utilizing the wand and cloner to bring your NPCs to life.

Creation with the Wand: By simply right-clicking on the ground, you can spawn an NPC with a randomized name. But why settle for randomness when you can customize every aspect of your NPC's appearance and behavior?
Model Customization: Dive into the world of model editing by choosing from a wide selection of models, including thematic options like the Rivendell Warrior from the Lord of the Rings universe.
Fine-Tuning Details: From adjusting textures to enabling animations, you have the power to transform your NPC into a unique character that fits seamlessly into your Minecraft world.

Enhancing NPC Interactions

For a truly immersive experience, it's essential to consider how your custom NPCs interact within the game environment. Whether you're creating guards, vendors, or story-driven characters, customizing their movements and behaviors can add depth to your gameplay.

Stationary NPCs: Want a guard that stands at attention without unnecessary movement? Explore the rotation settings to manually position your NPC for a static presence.
Dynamic Animations: Experiment with a range of animations like sitting, lying down, and sneaking to imbue your NPCs with lifelike actions that suit various scenarios.
Controlled Movements: Utilize the wandering feature to define specific paths for your NPCs, ensuring they stay within designated areas and behave according to your storyline.

Advanced Customization Options

In addition to basic NPC creation and movement settings, the Custom NPCs mod offers advanced customization features that allow you to fine-tune every aspect of your characters.

Stats Adjustment: Modify health points, aggro ranges, and drop probabilities to tailor your NPCs to specific combat or role-playing situations.
Faction Mechanics: Set faction affiliations and dialogue lines to create intricate relationships between NPCs, adding depth to their interactions and roles in your Minecraft world.
Mob Cloner Tool: Discover the power of cloning existing entities, whether it's an NPC from the Lord of the Rings universe or a custom creation of your own.
