Edit mode

Premium

This is part of ScriptedEssentials Premium. See what's in each edition.

Use the NPC editor to change its appearance, equipment and behaviour. You can open it from All NPCs, or turn on edit mode to select NPCs in the world.

commands
/npc edit

With edit mode on, right-clicking or punching an NPC opens its GUI instead of hitting it. Run it again to turn it off. It turns off when you log out too.

You can also skip edit mode entirely. Open /npc, All NPCs, click the head.

Settings

Protected blocks everything

Protected stops all damage, fall, fire, mobs, the lot. If you want something that can be hit but never dies, that's Immortal.

Actions

Rename, change skin, randomise (new name and skin), teleport it to you, apply a kit, copy your own potion effects onto it, put it in a group, and the Action Intervals menu.

Copy NPC saves the whole thing to your clipboard. See Spawning.

Names

Names take & colour codes when you set them by hand. The limit is 16 characters including the codes, that's a Minecraft thing. &c&lBob uses seven characters, including the colour and formatting codes.

Action intervals

Repeating left-click (swing), right-click (use) and jump. Each has three modes:

Mode What happens
DISABLED Never
HOLD Held down constantly
INTERVAL On a timer you set, in ticks (20 = one second)

Equipment

Drop items into the helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, main hand and off hand slots. Or Apply Kit to dress it from a saved kit in one go.

Locator bar

commands
/npc locatorbar [name]
/npc locatorbarall <on|off> [near]

Controls whether the NPC appears on the locator bar. There's a toggle in the editor too; this needs locator-bar support from the server and client.

Skins

Change Skin in the GUI for one NPC, Randomize for a new random name and skin together. One skin on every NPC is in Mass actions.
