Other Player
by PretzelPink
Other Player places a set of independent non-player characters into the world, each of them building houses, mining and crafting for itself on Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The mod adds other players to a world that they live in independently of the person playing. Each one gathers materials, builds a house, stores loot and crafts better armor and tools for its own use. They set their own objectives and work to survive, and they do not need anything from the player to do so.
Players can ignore these characters or right-click one with food to join it on a journey as a companion. The mod keeps around ten other players alive at any time. When one dies, a regular death message appears, and a replacement is generated straight away. Nothing has to be done to keep the population up.
Other Player is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the work in the public domain and is not open source. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.10, with 1.2.1 for 1.21.10 as the latest file on both loaders.

Use cases
Populated survival worlds
A survival world feels less empty when characters are living their own routines alongside the player.
Companion travel
Players who want a partner on long trips can bring one along with food, or leave the others to carry on alone.
Who it’s for: Players who want a living population in their world without setting up or managing it themselves. The characters behave independently, so they suit single-player and multiplayer worlds alike.
