Vanilla NPC
by marbrueck
With Vanilla NPC, server owners place mannequins that carry a customizable look and an optional behavior, configured from a simple setup.
What it does
The mod adds mannequin entities that can be set up with a chosen appearance. Players open the main menu, enter a world, and check that the datapack is enabled with the datapack list command. The mod is distributed as a datapack and needs a server install. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with Fabric API as an optional dependency.
