Npc
In Minecraft, NPCs (Non-Player Characters) are passive and interactive mobs with models similar to villagers. They are primarily found in Education Edition and Bedrock Edition. Unlike other entities, NPCs do not spawn naturally; players can spawn them using NPC spawn eggs or commands. Once spawned, an NPC displays a name above its head, with the default name being yellow "NPC". NPCs have no AI, cannot move or be pushed, and are unaffected by damage or potions. However, they can turn and look at nearby players. Players can access an interface by right-clicking an NPC; with Worldbuilder permission, they can edit dialog, name, appearance, and advanced settings. NPCs play various roles in the game and have multiple skin types. Additionally, some mods allow players to create custom NPCs with more complex behaviors and dialogues, such as the Custom NPCs and Citizens plugins.
Overall, NPCs in Minecraft are static and primarily used for educational purposes or enhancing the game environment. They typically cannot move or engage in combat, but they can be customized and expanded through plugins and mods.
