Requirements

• TACZ

    Features

• Rendering and use of armors and TACZ guns - NPCs will use TACZ guns from any addon pack just like a player would, including rocket launchers, grenade launchers and flamethrowers, to name a few.

• Full PlayerAnimator and Player skin support - NPCs will use animations from PlayerAnimator and can be configured with Player names and skins

• Datapack configuration - The datapack is set up in a really simple way, using vanilla loot tables and tags to spawn full sets of armor on NPCs.

• Factions and Relationships - Configure the npc_factions.json file to

How to Use

See Configuration below on how to modify the mod.

• You can summon npcs with /summon tacznpcs:npc {"template":""}, not adding the template nbt: ({"template":""}) will use the "default" template, otherwise you specify a template name based on the npc_loadouts.json config file.

Configuration

NPCs are configured using the mod's config files.

Custom loot tables or tags should be added the normal Minecraft way using datapacks. IDs can then be referenced by the config.

npc_factions.json

Maps entity IDs to faction names.

{
  "villagers": [
    "minecraft:villager",
    "minecraft:iron_golem"
  ],
  "illagers": [
    "minecraft:pillager",
    "minecraft:evoker"
  ]
}

• Keys are faction names.
• Values are lists of entity IDs.

npc_loadouts.json

Defines NPC equipment, weapons, factions, and textures.

{
  "guards": {
    "primary": "%tacz:m4a1", // Item ID: minecraft:iron_sword | Gun ID: %tacz:glock_17 | Item Tag: #c:swords | Loot Table: $minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon
    "aligned": ["players", "villagers"], // Will attack enemies of these factions
    "opposed": ["illagers", "monster"], // Will attack these factions on sight
    "helmet": "minecraft:iron_helmet", // Armor item, can also add "chestplate", "leggings", "boots"
    "texture": "tacznpcs:entity/guard.png" // Texture path for the skin, steve skin will be used if it's not specified.
  }
}

Fields

ID Prefixes

Several fields accept different ID types using prefixes:

A default loadout is recommended and is used whenever no other loadout applies.

Built-in Factions

These faction names are always available (case-insensitive):

• monster
• creature
• ambient
• axolotls
• underground_water_creature
• water_creature
• water_ambient
• misc

You may also reference any custom faction defined in npc_factions.json.
