Setting Up a Test Modpack 🧪

Using a dedicated test profile is the easiest way to verify Easy NPC changes without unrelated noise from a large everyday modpack.

Prerequisites

• CurseForge App or another launcher with a clean profile workflow
• Minecraft Java Edition

Supported Version Families

Easy NPC supports multiple Minecraft versions and loaders. Always pick a profile that matches the exact build you want to test.

Step 1: Create a Clean Profile

1. Open the launcher.
2. Create a new Minecraft profile.
3. Pick the target Minecraft version.
4. Pick the matching loader.
5. Launch the profile once, then close the game again.

Step 2: Install the Mod

For normal testing, install:

• Easy NPC Bundle

Or install these two modules together:

• Easy NPC Core
• Easy NPC Config UI

If you are testing command-only server behavior, Core alone can be enough.

Step 3: Manual File Install if Needed

If the build is not yet visible in the launcher:

1. Open the profile folder
2. Open the mods folder
3. Copy the matching .jar files into it

Step 4: Optional Helper Mods

Useful helper mods for testing:

• JEI
• Jade
• Spark

If you want to test integrations, also add the relevant target mods such as Cobblemon or Epic Fight.

Step 5: Create a Test World

Recommended world settings:

• cheats enabled
• default terrain
• easy access to Creative and Survival mode

Good Testing Habits

• keep one profile per Minecraft version and loader
• use a small mod list when reproducing bugs
• keep separate worlds for dialogs, trading, and integration tests when useful
