How to Set Up Local Ollama AI Chat for NPCs

Kinfolk Overhaul Mod includes an interactive dialogue system that lets you speak directly with town residents. If you want to go beyond standard presets and hold real-time text chats with NPCs, you can connect the mod to a local Ollama AI model running on your computer.

Verifying Your Ollama Tool

Before loading into your Minecraft world, make sure the external Ollama tool is properly set up on your system.

1. Open your computer's Command Prompt or PowerShell window.

2. Type ollama --version into the console and press Enter.

3. Confirm that the console returns a valid status output, which verifies that the external tool is active and ready to receive requests from the game.

Starting the Local Language Model

Once your setup is verified, you must launch the specific language model that handles the NPC dialogue.

1. In the same Command Prompt or PowerShell window, type ollama run llama3.2 and press Enter.

2.

3. Leave this console window open in the background while you launch Minecraft.

4. Enter your world, walk up to any custom villager, and interact with them to open the chat interface. With the background terminal running, your conversations will use the local AI model to generate real-time responses as you build friendship with the townsfolk.
