✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 112 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Adds visual variety to otherwise generic mage NPCs.
- Integrates combat functionality via MCME for a more dynamic experience.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the MCME mod for the combat feature, so it's not standalone.
- Only affects two named NPCs and background mages, so impact is limited.
For players who want more visual diversity among mage NPCs and enjoy tweaking background characters. Also for those using the MCME mod who want mages to participate in combat. Skip if you're looking for major overhauls or changes to main characters.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the MCME mod is compatible with your game version before installing.
- Use a mod manager to easily enable/disable this mod if you encounter issues.
- If you don't use MCME, the combat feature won't work, but the visual changes still apply.
