New Features:

• 1.21.5 - 1.21.8 support
• NPC Poses
  • There are 6 possible poses: Standing, Sitting, Crouching, Swimming, Dying, and Sleeping.
• NPC Nudging
  • Nudging is way to move NPCs a little bit at a time to precisely position them. Crouching while scrolling increases the move increment from .05 blocks per slot to .25 blocks per slot scrolled over.
• Native Multi-line Holograms
  • Your existing names are automatically converted to the new system
• The Ability to flip NPCs upside down
  • This option is accessed in the extra settings menu (Top right comparator)
• The ability to add cooldowns to actions
  • The configuration of them is very similar to configuring delay. There is no message for an action being on cooldown.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the UUID being visible with a teamless approach, which is much more tolerant to other plugins
• Fixed being able to supply textual input to multiple actions at once
• Fixed the sleeping percentage not being respected if it was changed after the server started
• Fixed Elytras not being able to be equiped in the chest slot
• Fixed problems with clicking items in the equipment menu

• The Settings class now has a method to import a player's skin directly from a player object
• NPCs no longer have "names", but rather an array of "lines". The get/set name methods are now deprecated and just affect the top line.
• Poses can be changed in the settings object
• Added a "facing" system, to be more consistent with how NPC yaw and pitch are handled.
• Custom actions should call the Action#activateCooldown(UUID) in ther perform method.

This update took way longer than it should have, but now it's here :) ~ Foxikle <3

New Features:

• 1.21.5 support

Bug Fixes

• Fix npc UUID being visible by using a different (teamless) approach
• Fixed being able to supply textual input for several actions at once
• Fixed the sleeping percentage not being respected if it was changed after server start **

Known Issues:

• Dragging items in an inventory will throw an error. It is a result of the PaperMC developers not supporting bytecode rewriting on paper plugins. I cannot do anything about it, complain to them.
• There is a rare kick that occurs when creating NPCs. I'm not sure what causes it, but I'm working on finding out.

Roadmap:

Before 1.8 and the new data serializing and storage, I want to get the following features implemented:

• Proper multi-line NPC holograms
• Poses (sitting, swimming, etc)

Note about sleeping percentages: The plugin modifies the sleeping percentage to be equivalent to the percentage you supplied, correcting for the number NPCs. So if your server has a sleeping percentage of 100 and your world has 1 NPC, the percentage from running the command /gamerule playersSleepingPercentage will be 50.

This is a pretty small release, but it fixes:

• Injection issues on dimension change and join
• Setting the sleeping percentage incorrectly
  • It now respects user defined sleeping percentages via the gamerule

This release includes mostly bug fixes from the past month

• Fixed the display buttons in the teleport customizer menu always showing the X coordinate
• Fixed the volume and pitch being reversed when playing a sound
• Fixed the load order of dependencies
• Created a new /npc debug command to help you help me help you. (When seeking support it provides useful information to me)
• Made some minor improvements to injection logic around different dimensions
• Added a config option to interpolate npc nametags on teleport

IMPORTANT NOTE: This release REMOVES the ability to use this plugin on a spigot server. As a bonus of this, the plugin will now load the required dependencies at runtime. This makes the final jar file a lot smaller (about 10 times smaller!). The downside is it can take a "while" (about 2 minutes, in my case) to download the required dependencies. This is advantageous, as it stores the downloaded dependencies and only needs to download them once!

Okay on with the patch notes:

Bug Fixes

• Fixes errors on 1.21.3+ servers when using like anything on the server
• Fixes hologram injection issues in some cases
• The SetSound action now uses keyed sounds (minecraft:ui.button.click), instead of ui_button_click. This is potentially detrimental as it will not convert from old sounds. (The actions still run, a warning is printed to the console and no sound is played). BUT, this lets you play resource pack sounds now! Just use the namespace and the sound id. namspace:id.

This is mostly a bug fix type of update as I have started working on the 1.8 series of updates, starting with optimized data storage. So you can look forward to that ;) Foxikle <3

CustomNPCs v1.7.1

• Fixed critical bug with condition parsing, preventing NPCs from loading
• Fixed the config being backed up every time the server started

CustomNPCs 1.7

I discovered that the Bukkit configuration api has decided to eat locations when they are invalid. There is nothing I can do to recover them. I apologize for the inconvenience

New Features

• 1.20.5 - 1.21.4 Support.
• Localization! CustomNPCs now supports the following languages:
  • Russian (partially)
  • German (partially)
  • Arabic (partially)
  • Simplified Chinese (fully)
  • Vietnamese (fully)
  • English (fully)
• An action System rewrite
• Custom Actions can be registered via the API
• the RunCommand action can now run commands as the console please be careful
• The RunCommand action will now parse placeholders in the raw command text
• The DisplayTitle action can now have a subtitle
• Various performance enhancements
• A new command /npc fixconfig:
  • Requres the customnpcs.commands.fix_config permission
  • Here is some example usage, with an explanation: /npc fixconfig world <Valid World> <Strategy> <target>
  • The Valid World has to be a world that is loaded by Bukkit (Multiverse should work too)
  • The strategy can either be NONE, which doesn't care about validating the location of the NPC. the SAFE_LOCATION strategy will verify the NPC won't be stuck in any solid blocks. If it is, the plugin will pick the highest block with the same x and z coordinate. If no position is possible, the NPC is ignored.
  • The Target can either be all, to apply to all NPCs or a specific NPC's name or UUID
• A new command framework
• The NPC configuration is validated on the first parse, rather than on load
• There is now a special permission for the wiki command; customnpcs.commands.wiki

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed NPCs affecting the sleeping percentage
• Fixed NPCs disappearing after respawning
• Fixed NPCs being injected in the wrong dimension
• Fixed NPC nametags being visible (The numbers and letters)
• Fixed a bunch of errors related to the events portion of the api
• Fixed an error with /reload
• Fixed an issue where you could not decrease the DisplayTitle's fade out option if the fade in option was 1
• Fixed loading the NPC's facing direction incorrectly

Developer Changes

• Removed the Bukkit services api (Not like anyone used it)
• Settings#direction is now deprecated. You should use the yaw of the SpawnLocation instead
• You can write your own actions. Read the documentation to find out how :)

Bug fix:

• Fixed loading the NPC's facing direction incorrectly

CustomNPCs prerelease 11

This release is comprised of entirely bug fixes, as the full release is very near

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the /npc help and /npc manage commands being missing
• Fixed an error (that only appears in the console) upon translating an empty string in some action favicons

API Changes
