Phoenix NPCs

NPCs that talk, walk and look different to every player, built from one in-game editor.

Place a player, a mob or a model, then give it a voice, a route and a job. Every change shows up in front of you as you make it.

What sets Phoenix NPCs apart

Per player

One NPC can wear each viewer's own skin, or switch its skin, glow and equipment for players who pass a condition.

Real conversations

Dialogues with steps and choices open as Minecraft dialog windows, with typing text and the camera held on the NPC.

Walks on the ground

NPCs step up stairs and slabs, fall with gravity and plan their way around walls, fences and water.

Names that do more

Names are Phoenix Holograms holograms linked to the NPC, so they can animate, span several lines and carry a quest symbol.

Bedrock ready

Bedrock players joining through Geyser get forms for dialogues, and Bedrock staff for every typed value in the editor.

Switch in minutes

Bring your NPCs over from four other NPC plugins, skins, equipment and click commands included.

An NPC should do more than stand there. Give it a voice and a route.

Build every NPC in-game

Look at an NPC and type /pnpc edit, or start from one of the ready-made examples and change it into your own.

Give a player NPC a skin by name, image link, file, MineSkin, Bedrock gamertag or placeholder, or a pool of up to 21 skins picked at random. Skins follow when a player changes theirs.

Any living mob with its variants, armor stands, mannequins, or a ModelEngine or BetterModel model with idle and click animations. Add poses, sitting, scale, glow colors and equipment in every slot.

NPCs that act on their own

Every NPC can react to clicks and to players walking up, follow a route, and stand guard.

Dialogues

Each choice runs its own actions and opens the next step, so one NPC can answer questions, hand out rewards and send players on their way.

Click Actions

Separate actions for left, right and any click, or when a player comes close. Add a cooldown, a use limit per player or for everyone, and item or experience costs.

Movement

Walk waypoints once, in a loop or back and forth, wander an area or a WorldGuard region, follow a player, or ride a mob or another NPC. Record a route by walking it yourself.

Guards

Guards attack hostile mobs, players or whoever hit them, chase within a range, show their health and come back home after they fall.

Connect NPCs to your server

Every hook below is picked up on its own when the other plugin is installed.

A merchant can open a Phoenix Shop shop or one of its categories, or a vanilla trade window with its own trades. MythicMobs skills, Phoenix Currencies rewards and server switches on your proxy work as actions too.

Switch in a few clicks. Keep your NPCs.

Open Editor > Migrations and pick the plugin you are leaving. The old plugin does not have to be running, NPCs you already have are left alone, and the report lists what was imported and what was skipped.
