Fancy Npcs Plugin FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I create my first NPC?
Use the NPC creation command with a name and mob type (like zombie, armor_stand, or player), then place it in your world. The guides section has a full walkthrough on "Create and Place Your First NPC" with exact syntax.
Can I use any player skin for a custom NPC?
Yes—you can use any player's username, or provide a direct image link to a custom skin file. The plugin will apply it to your NPC automatically.
Why is my NPC invisible or not showing up?
Make sure the NPC was created successfully by checking the command output, and verify you're within render distance. If it's still missing, try reloading the plugin or checking for conflicting mods that hide entities.
How do I make an NPC sit down or change its pose?
Use the pose command to set animations like sitting, standing, or custom poses depending on what your NPC type supports. Check the mod's command list for all available poses for each mob type.
Can I make an NPC run a command when someone clicks it?
Yes—set up click interactions through the interaction command, which lets you trigger commands or send chat messages when a player right-clicks the NPC. The "Set Up Click Interactions" guide covers this in detail.
Does this mod cause server lag?
No—the plugin uses packet-based rendering, which means NPCs run in the background without slowing down your server, even with many characters placed around your world.
How many NPCs can I place before performance drops?
The mod is designed to handle large numbers of NPCs efficiently, but the exact limit depends on your server hardware and other plugins; test with increasing quantities to find your sweet spot.
Can I give an NPC a glowing effect and what colors work?
Yes—use the glow command to enable a glowing outline and choose from a wide range of colors to make your NPC stand out. The "Make an NPC Glow and Change Its Color" guide shows all available color options.
What armor and items can I equip on an NPC?
You can equip any item in the game, including armor pieces, weapons, and tools—just use the equip command to assign items to specific slots like head, hand, or offhand. See the "Equip an NPC with Armor and Items" guide for examples.
Will NPCs work with other plugins on my server?
The mod is designed to be compatible with most plugins since it uses packets rather than modifying core game mechanics, but always test with your specific plugin setup to be sure.
