KantoNPCs

# KantoNPCs **KantoNPCs** is a Cobblemon NPC utility mod created for the **(https://modrinth.com/modpack/cobblekanto)** project, focused on custom NPC interactions for adventure maps, towns, routes, gyms, shops, and multiplayer servers. It was originally built for **(https://modrinth.com/modpack/cobblekanto)**, but it can also be useful for map makers and server owners who want more control over custom NPC behavior in Cobblemon-based worlds. --- (https://i.imgur.com/YPXzsWI.png)](https://shockbyte.com/billing/aff.php?aff=10741) Get 25% off your Minecraft server with Shockbyte!

Store vending machine block --- ## What It Is For KantoNPCs is mainly a builder/admin tool for creating more complete Cobblemon adventure worlds. !(https://i.imgur.com/8X7tdQW.gif) It can be used to place NPCs in routes, cities, caves, gyms, shops, story areas, rival encounters, tutorial zones, custom events, and server hubs. The goal is not to replace every possible NPC framework, but to provide the specific systems we needed to make exploration feel closer to our beloved classic adventure map experience. Most setup tools are intended for map makers, server owners, and operators rather than normal survival players. --- ## Documentation / Setup Manual KantoNPCs is a heavy config tool with several NPC types, dialogue formats, reward options, shops, trades, move tutors, skins, and builder workflows. The main project page gives a general overview, but the full setup reference is available in the official documentation: (https://github.com/PrimordioCobble/KantoNPCs-Wiki/tree/main) Use the wiki when you need field explanations, dialogue JSON examples, choice file formats, NPC setup notes, troubleshooting steps, or examples for map/server workflows. --- ## NPC Types **Dialog NPC** Used for normal conversations, story hints, route dialogue, event text, yes/no choices, and dialogue-based rewards or commands. **Battle NPC** Used for Cobblemon trainer-style battles with configurable teams, dialogue flow, rewards, prize money, rematch cooldowns, and post-battle behavior. **Rival NPC** A battle-focused NPC type designed for rival-style encounters, including starter-aware progression support for maps that track a player's chosen starter. **Mart NPC** Creates shop-style NPCs with buy/sell tabs, configurable product lists, descriptions, prices, item-based trade costs, and support for Cobblemon-themed shop layouts. **Trader NPC** Creates exchange NPCs that request a specific Cobblemon and give another one in return. The trade is tied to the selected party slot, making it safer for players with duplicate species in their party. **Move Tutor NPC** Lets builders create NPCs that teach a configured move to the selected Cobblemon, with validation for whether that Cobblemon can learn the move. --- ## Shared NPC Setup Most NPC types share a similar setup style, so you do not need to learn a completely different system for every NPC. Depending on the NPC type, builders can configure things like the NPC name, model type, skin, size, sitting pose, home position, looking behavior, seek-player behavior, dialogue IDs, reward fields, commands, battle/team data, shop data, trade data, or tutor data. The mod also includes NPC preset and removal tools to make map editing less painful while building large routes or towns. --- ## Dialogue System KantoNPCs supports external dialogue files through the config folder, making it easier to edit dialogue without rebuilding the mod. NPCs can use normal dialogue flows, yes/no choices, start/end/post-battle dialogue, and dialogue-driven rewards depending on the NPC type. This makes it useful for story routes, gyms, shops, rival encounters, tutorial NPCs
