Magic NPCs

Magic NPCs can be used to cast spells on players, allow them to check spell upgrade progress, purchase wands, items, spells, and much more.

They can also run commands on right-click, as well as have any of the triggered events that Magic Mobs can have.

WorldGuard

NOTE: If you want to use NPCs inside of WorldGuard regions, you will need to set mobs.block-plugin-spawning: false inside WorldGuard's config.yml

Citizens NPCs

If you are already using Citizens NPCs you can also attach the "magic" or "command" trait for similar features to Magic NPCs.

If you have been using Citizens NPCs with Magic traits, and would like to switch to using pure Magic NPCs, simply use the command /mnpc import. After you've verified it worked (there should be duplicates of all NPCs afterward) you should be able to shut down the server and remove Citizens.

Getting Started

Use the command /mnpc add Spell Shop to create a new Spell Shop NPC. By default it will be a villager. You can change that with /mnpc type witch.

Magic mobs can be used as NPC templates, so disguises can be used if you have LibsDisguises, allowing you to make fake-player NPCs.

Casting Spells

You can make an NPC cast a spell on right-click using the shortcut /mnpc cast spellshop.

You can also provide parameters, such as /mnpc cast blink cooldown 0 pdy 10, which will cast Blink straight up in the air with no cooldown.

By default, the NPC will force the player clicking on the NPC to cast the spell. This works great for shops, but if you wanted to make a healing NPC you want the NPC to cast the spell on the player. This could be done as

/mnpc cast heal
/mnpc configure cast_source npc

NPC shop parameters

You can use /cast in-game with tab-completion to get an idea for available parameters. In particular, all of the shops support a common set of useful parameters:

• confirm - Whether or not to show the confirmation screeen
• path - A player must be on or past this enchanting path to use this shop
• path_end - A player must have completed this enchanting path and be blocked on required spells
• path_exact - A player must be on this exact path
• auto_upgrade - Whether to advance the player to the next path once they meet the requirements
• require_wand - Whether or not to require a wand, useful to prevent players from having spell and upgrade items

Examples

Some simple examples:

# Set up an upgrades NPC
/mnpc cast upgrades

# Set up an NPC to give the player the blink spell in exchange for 30 dollars
/mnpc cast addspell spell blink
/mnpc costs 30

# Set up a spell shop
/mnpc cast spellshop

# Set up a random TP NPC
/mnpc cast tpshop
/mnpc configure helmet randomtp

As with any spell, these spells can be customized or used as the basis for new spells via spells.yml.

Running Commands

An NPC can also be set to run a set of commands, such as

/mnpc configure commands time set day;weather clear

Command traits are similar to "magic" traits, but instead of a "spell" parameter they take a "command" parameter.

Command Trait Selectors

The following selectors can be used in a command:

• @p The player's IGN
• @pn The player's IGN (same as @p)
• @pd The player's display name
• @uuid The player's UUID
• @world The world the player is in
• @x The player's x coordinate
• @y The player's y coordinate
• @z The player's z coordinate

Examples

/mnpc configure command broadcast @p has clicked on an NPC at @world,@x,@y,@z

Player NPCs

Magic uses vanilla mobs for NPCs, as such it can not make players. However, if you have LibsDisguises you can make an NPC look like a player with the command /mnpc player NathanWolf
