🗣 Easy NPC (Bundle)

Easy NPC provides a simplified system for creating custom NPCs with dialogs, trading, and interactions for map makers, RPGs, adventure servers, modpacks, and other mods.

This project is the Easy NPC Bundle, a launcher convenience package that installs the required Easy NPC modules automatically.

This bundle does not contain the Easy NPC modules themselves.

📦 Installation Overview

Easy NPC is split into multiple modules. The bundle exists to simplify installation via launchers that support automatic dependency resolution.

Option A: Launcher install (recommended)

• Install Easy NPC Bundle
• Your launcher will automatically install the required modules:
  • Easy NPC Core
  • Easy NPC Config UI (configuration tools and required networking)

Option B: Manual install or copied modpacks

If you install mods manually or copy a modpack between instances, make sure the required modules are present:

• Easy NPC Core
• Easy NPC Config UI

Tip: When sharing or copying a modpack, copy the full mods/ folder to ensure all required jars are included.

Usage

Spawn an NPC using the corresponding spawn egg or via the summon command.

Use the predefined /easy_npc commands or the NPC config wand to open a graphical user interface. The GUI allows you to configure dialogs, trading options, skins, actions, and other NPC related settings directly in game.

Most interactions and adjustments can be done directly in game without editing files or restarting the server.

⬆️ Upgrading

Please make sure to check the upgrade guide before upgrading/updating to a new version.

ℹ️ Why there is no jar-in-jar bundle anymore

Older versions used a jar-in-jar setup to bundle multiple Easy NPC modules into a single file.

This approach caused several technical issues:

• Duplicate mod IDs when modules were installed separately
• Class loading conflicts and ambiguous mod sources
• Incompatibilities when only the Easy NPC Core was required as a dependency
• Increased maintenance and support complexity

Modern launchers already provide dependency resolution. Using this mechanism results in a cleaner, more predictable setup and allows Easy NPC modules to be updated independently.
