C’Npc

C’Npc

C’Npc is a fully in-game NPC creation and management mod for Forge 1.20.1, built for
Medieval Fantasy roleplay servers. No config files, no external editors – spawn an NPC,
right-click it with the NPC Tool, and configure everything from a menu while you play.

Getting started

The NPC Tool isn’t in any creative tab yet – grab it with:

/give @s c_npc:npc_tool

As an operator, right-click a block with it to spawn an NPC and open its editor
directly, or right-click an existing NPC with it to reopen that editor.

Highlights

• Player-skinned or disguised NPCs – use any Minecraft username, a direct skin URL,
  or disguise the NPC as any vanilla mob (searchable list) while keeping the same AI and
  hitbox underneath.
• Branching dialogue – up to 16 pages per NPC, each with up to 4 custom-labeled
  buttons that lead to another page, close the conversation, open trading, or
  accept/turn in a quest. A simple one-line dialogue is used automatically until you
  build a branching tree.
• Quests – up to 6 quests per NPC (given and turned in by the same NPC), with two
  objective types (bring items / kill creatures), item rewards, adjustable XP, optional
  faction reputation rewards, and configurable repeat cooldowns (once, instant, hourly,
  daily, weekly, monthly). Players get a personal quest log (inventory icon) showing
  live progress on every accepted quest.
• Factions with real consequences – name your own factions, set their posture toward
  players (Hostile/Neutral/Friendly) and their relations with each other. Hostile
  factions actually fight: NPCs attack on sight, and player-vs-player faction wars are
  fully supported. Reputation thresholds (built from quest rewards) can override the
  default posture per player – earn enough goodwill and a hostile faction leaves you
  alone, or tank your reputation and a friendly one turns on you.
• Trading – real vanilla trading UI (same interface as villagers), edited by dragging
  items into an admin screen. Unlimited uses, no restock system.
• Equipment – a real drag-and-drop inventory (helmet/chestplate/leggings/boots +
  both hands) for player-skinned NPCs.
• Movement – three behavior modes (Stationary, Wander within a configurable radius,
  or Patrol a custom multi-point path with per-point wait times), plus Walk/Run speed,
  a permanent crouched pose, and occasional idle hops for extra life.
• Everything server-admin-only, in-game – every screen above (skin, dialogue,
  quests, factions, path, equipment, trades) is opened with a right-click while holding
  the NPC Tool as an operator. Regular players just get the normal dialogue/trading
  experience.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge 47.4.22+

Known limitations

• No conditions on dialogue buttons yet beyond quest accept/turn-in (e.g. requiring an
  item or a quest state) – planned for later if there’s demand.
• Downloaded skins are cached in memory for the session only (no disk cache yet).
