NPCs

Characters your town places on its land.

Last updated: 2026-09-27 12:44 PM EST.

An NPC stands where you put it, wears a player's skin, turns to face you, and says one line when right-clicked.

Rules

It must stand on your town's land.
Only the mayor and officers can place or change one. Any resident can list, info and publish.
A town gets 10 NPCs per resident. Removing one gives the slot back.
NPCs belong to the town, not to you. Unclaim the land and they go. Lose the town and they all go. A ruin has already lost them. Leaving or renaming the town changes nothing.

Make one

/npc create Podrick
/npc prompt Podrick Welcome to my shop, traveller.

One word, up to 32 letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores. Must be unused on the server.
The name is also the skin. No such player means the default skin.
Names and lines go through the chat filter. Angle brackets and percent signs are refused.

Give it a routine

/npc idle Podrick bob
/npc route Podrick add
/npc route Podrick add
/npc walk Podrick loop
/npc schedule Podrick night still

Stand where you want each point and run route add. Points stay on your town's land, within 48 blocks of the last.
speed 125 walks it a quarter faster, and 75 a quarter slower.
Schedules follow the game clock, so night means night in game.
A routine changes what it does, never how it looks.
