Features

Dynamic Behaviors

  • Daily Routines - NPCs follow simple schedules (work, leisure, sleep) and change their activities based on the time of day and weather.
  • Contextual Reactions - NPCs react naturally to damage, fire, explosions, and environmental changes (water, lava, player proximity).

Enhanced Movement & Pathfinding

  • Natural Movement - NPCs avoid obstacles with smoother movements and varied pacing instead of sudden turns.
  • Block Interaction - NPCs seamlessly use doors, climb stairs, and stop in front of obvious dangers.

Social Interactions

  • Conversations & Greetings - Experience small dialogues or gestures between NPCs and with the player.
  • Grouping - NPCs can form groups or follow collective routines (such as gathering at markets or teamwork).

Customization & API

  • In-Game Settings - Toggle features, control aggressiveness, behavior density, and detection ranges directly in-game.
  • Modding API - Includes a limited API allowing other mods to add new custom behaviors or conditions.

Dependencies:

  • Fabric Loader 1.21.10 (required)
  • Fabric API (required)
  • Mod Menu (optional, for quick in-game config access)
  • Cloth Config (optional, for detailed config screens)

Server-Side & Client-Side - Requires installation on both the server (for the AI, routines, and pathfinding) and the client (for the configuration screens and animations).
