NPCs Vol.1 Model FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I summon an NPC after installing the mod?
Use the MythicMobs command syntax to spawn NPCs—typically `/mythicmobs summon [NpcName]` at your location. The four available NPCs are Mage, Alchemist, Blacksmith, and Banker; check your MythicMobs config files to confirm their exact summon names.
Can I change what an NPC looks like or how it moves?
Yes, you can customize NPC animations and behavior through the ModelEngine configuration files. Edit the animation settings in the config to adjust idle poses, interaction animations, and movement speed before reloading your server.
What do the profession icons do?
Profession icons (like a magic book or gold sack) display above NPCs and feature animated "near" effects that trigger when players approach, clearly signaling which NPC offers which service. They're fully animated and help guide players to the right shop or vendor.
Do I need all three plugins (ModelEngine, MythicMobs, Nexo) for this to work?
Yes, all three are required: ModelEngine handles the NPC models and animations, MythicMobs manages NPC behavior and summoning, and Nexo provides the sound effects. The pack comes pre-configured for all three, so they must all be installed and running.
Why aren't my NPCs showing up after I restarted the server?
Check that all three plugin folders (ModelEngine, MythicMobs, Nexo) received their config files correctly and that your server fully restarted—a reload may not apply all changes. Verify there are no errors in your server logs related to these plugins.
Can I place an NPC in a specific location and make it stay there?
Yes, summon the NPC at your desired location using MythicMobs commands, then use MythicMobs configuration or commands to anchor it in place so it doesn't wander. Refer to the "Summon and Place an NPC in Your World" guide for step-by-step placement instructions.
How do I make NPCs interact with other server plugins?
The pack is pre-configured to work with MythicMobs and ModelEngine; you can set up additional interactions by editing the MythicMobs skill files to trigger custom actions when players click NPCs. See the "Integrate NPCs with Server Plugins and Commands" guide for common plugin integration patterns.
Will this mod lag my server?
The animated models and sound effects are optimized for performance, but having many NPCs active simultaneously can impact server resources. Test with a reasonable number of NPCs in your world and monitor server performance; disable unused animations if needed.
Can I use these NPCs in a vanilla survival world or do I need a server?
This mod requires a server setup with the three plugins installed; it cannot be used in vanilla single-player worlds. You'll need to run a server (local or hosted) with ModelEngine, MythicMobs, and Nexo to use these NPCs.
How do I add sound effects to NPC interactions?
Sound effects are already integrated through Nexo and configured in the pack files. To customize or add new sounds, edit the Nexo configuration files to link different sound events to NPC animations or player interactions.
