Author: CraftVerse Engines

NPC Engine lets a server owner place interactive characters in a world, each with dialogue, choice branches and a text display above its head.

What it does

Clicking an NPC starts a dialogue, and the text is written character by character with a typewriter effect. A dialogue can branch into several answer options, and a shift press skips to the next line. The engine can drive NPCs built on the mannequin entity with custom skins, and also villagers, zombies and skeletons. Control runs through an action bar in a visual editor, while a data pack can create NPCs with dialogue, response options and cinematic sequences.

Server owners can use it to build living worlds, such as quest givers, shopkeepers or characters that tell a story. The mod needs a server to run, while players may add it on the client for the full experience. Versions covered run 1.21.9 – 26.1.2, with files for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is not public, although source code and an issue tracker are linked. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
