Each NPC has a weighted survival plan, persistent memories, vanilla mob physics, and a node-based logic graph for gathering, crafting, combat, storage, movement, and sleep. **npc2 can be used in singleplayer worlds, LAN, and multiplayer servers.** > npc2 is under active development. Back up important worlds before installing it because NPCs can mine and place blocks. ## Requirements npc2 requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin. Version `0.3.0-alpha+26.2` supports Fabric API `0.154.2+26.2` and compatible newer Fabric API releases for Minecraft 26.2. For Servers: Install npc2 and its dependencies on both the server and every connecting client. Singleplayer: Install npc2 and its dependencies on your Minecraft client. LAN: Install npc2 and its dependencies on every player's client. ## Quick start ### Version 0.3.0-alpha and newer Open the vanilla Creative inventory's **Spawn Eggs** tab and use the **Survivor NPC Spawn Egg** on solid, open ground. Players with permission to use commands can also click or enter: `/give @s npc2:fake_npc_spawn_egg` When you enter a world, npc2 displays a formatted quick-start message in chat containing the spawn command, debug controls, and issue-tracker link. ### Version 0.2.1-alpha and earlier Open npc2's Creative inventory tab and use the **Survivor NPC Spawn Egg** on solid ground. You may need to use the inventory arrows to find the tab. Alternatively, enter: `/give @s npc2:fake_npc_spawn_egg` ## Debug panel — 0.3.0-alpha and newer Aim near a living NPC to display a compact debug panel containing its name, entity ID, health, and debug controls. - Press `X` to pin the selected NPC and expand the panel. - Press `X` again to unpin it. - Press `F8` to toggle all npc2 debugging, including the panel, glowing outline, and path visualization. - Both controls can be rebound under the **Debug** category in Minecraft's Controls menu. The expanded panel displays the NPC's current decisions, movement and path state, resource requirements, equipment, inventory, and other AI information. For the cleanest layout, use a GUI scale of 3 or lower. ## Player interaction — 0.3.0-alpha and newer NPCs are friendly toward players by default. An NPC only retaliates against a Survival or Adventure player who harms that specific NPC. Creative and Spectator players are never targeted. The retaliation duration can be changed in: `.minecraft/config/npc2/npc2.properties` ## Known issues in 0.3.0-alpha - The debug overlay may appear uneven at GUI scales above 3. - NPCs move very slowly while floating in water. - NPCs may occasionally freeze while retaliating against a player. They resume once the player leaves their detection range, enters Creative mode, or the configured `player_retaliation_ticks` duration expires. These issues are planned to be fixed in future releases. ## More documentation Visit the (https://github.com/oofman124/npc2/blob/main/README.md) for installation instructions, configuration options, gameplay details, troubleshooting, and development documentation.
