Creating Your First NPC
Start by creating your first NPC. You can use the in-game command, /npc create to design characters with unique appearances and behaviors. Consider crafting NPCs that enhance your server's role play or gameplay experience

By clicking the bell, you can toggle NPC Persistence.
Changing the NPC's Facing Direction
The facing direction is the direction the NPC faces when there isn't a player within five blocks, and it doesn't have Tunnel Vision. The possible options are the cardinal directions and the yaw of the player currently editing the NPC. For your convenience, you can click the ender eye to easily change your current facing direction. This applies to the NPC's pitch, too.
Changing the NPC's Tunnel Vision
- What is Tunnel Vision?
Tunnel vision determines if the NPC looks at nearby players.
This can be toggled by clicking the spyglass under the equipment menu.
Editing the NPC's Extra Settings
In the top right of the NPC menu, there is a button to take you to the extra settings menu. In this menu, you can customize if the NPC's Interactable Hologram is visible, and what the contents of the hologram are. If nothing is specified here, it defaults to the config value ClickText.
Adding Actions to an NPC
To change the NPC's Actions, first open the editing menu. This will be opened, initialized to an NPC with no data, if you just ran the /npc create command.
From there, ensure the NPC is interactable. Non-interactable NPCs cannot have actions. This can be achieved by clicking on the dead bush if it is in the menu. You will know the NPC is interactable if you can see a Recovery Compass in the bottom right of the menu.
You can then add actions by clicking on the Lilly pad.
