Copies of the clipboard NPC |
The spread controls how far apart the NPCs are placed. compact keeps them close, medium is the default, and far spreads them out. /npc massspawn accepts up to 200 at a time; that isn't a promise that every server can run 200 smoothly.
/npc formation is the same as /npc pattern. For a crowd that marches somewhere, see Armies.
Copy and paste
Use Copy NPC in the editor to copy its appearance, equipment and settings. Then paste a copy wherever you need it.
/npc paste # one copy where you stand
/npc masspaste 20 medium # twenty scattered round youOne NPC in the clipboard at a time. It's cleared when you log out.
What new NPCs wear
/npc defaultkit <none|kitname>Every /npc spawn after that dresses them in it. More settings for new NPCs in Defaults.
