ProgressionNPCWork

• ProgressionNPCWork is a single, merged Paper plugin that bundles four systems into one clean workflow:

• ProgressionNPC → persistent NPCs with admin tools, skins, and equipment

• ProgressionQuest → YAML-driven quests with NPC dialogue + clickable chat actions

• ProgressionShop → NPC-bound buy/sell shops with GUI

• ProgressionNPCCompanion → quest companions (followers) with optional combat + escort targets + gear transfer

Everything is stored in simple files under plugins/ProgressionNPCWork/, so you can manage content with commands, in-game editors, or raw YAML.

Highlights

• One plugin, four core RPG systems (NPCs, Quests, Shops, Companions)

• NPC dialogue + quests shown directly in chat (with clickable Accept / Turn-in)

• Quest safety rules: accept/turn-in only works after talking to the correct NPC

• Main-quest chains (Hauptquest) + standalone side quests (Nebenquest)

• Loot turn-in parsing (supports multiple items + optional cmd=...)

• Companion system:

  • smooth follow behavior (does not reposition just because you rotate)

  • optional combat assist (never targets players)

  • escort goal support (auto-despawn when target is reached)

  • Shift + Rightclick companion to open an equip GUI

  • auto-return companion gear on quest end/fail (and on next join if anything is left behind)

• Shop system:

  • file-based shops (shops/*.yml)

  • buy + sell entries

  • supports ProgressionAPI item specs (if available)

  • uses ProgressionEconomy for actual money handling (if installed)

Why you’ll love it

• You can build a real MMO-style quest hub fast: create NPC → add dialogue → create quest → activate → done.

• Players get a clear flow: talk → accept → deliver items → turn in, with minimal commands.

• It’s built for server iteration: edit YAML, run reload commands, keep moving.

• You can create escort / companion quests without custom scripting.
