Hello everyone,

Many of you have been wondering why ServerNPC hasn't been receiving updates. While there have been a few, they haven't lived up to what most of you expect. There are many great features left unimplemented, and numerous ideas that I just haven’t been able to bring to life. The truth is, I no longer have the time. My goal was always to keep it updated to the latest version of Minecraft so that it would at least function properly, but I haven’t been able to keep up due to recent changes in Minecraft and the plugin’s legacy code.

I wish I could continue working on ServerNPC, but it requires time I simply don’t have. I had hoped it could sustain me financially, but the reality is that for years now, sales have dropped to just one or two per month. I’ve been updating it out of respect for those who purchased it. However, as I've become more involved with my job, my startup, and other personal projects, I just don’t have the time to maintain this plugin anymore.

So, what’s next? I wanted to announce this in the best way possible, but I couldn’t find better words than those I’ve already written. As a way to give back, I’d like to offer all buyers the source code for ServerNPC. You’ll have complete freedom to use it or continue its development as you wish.

For those looking for alternatives, I recommend trying these two complex and highly functional plugins, which offer similar or better performance than ServerNPC:

- FancyNPCs
- ZNPCsPlus

Both are excellent plugins that I fully endorse.

If you’d like the source code, join my discord and open a ticket to verify yourself, then you will be granted to a private channel that you can download it from there.

Thank you all for being part of this community over the years.

Sincerely,
Martín (Snake)

Update for 1.21 courtesy of dominikslk

Fixed issues related to creating NPC with the following versions: 1.17, 1.18, 1.19, 1.20

Important Note: This version includes new features that may affect compatibility with other plugins.

• Add new methods to the API.
• Add compatibility with world unloads/loads.
• Add compatibility with teleports; NPCs now automatically appear when a player teleports near them.
• Add compatibility with using next line \n in actions.
• Re-add PlaceholderAPI skins, useful for tops. (BETA, only on version 1.20.4 at the moment)
• Refactor API entities.
• Optimize entity tracking.
• Remove versions 1.19.1 and 1.19.2; only available in version 1.19.3 now.
• Remove deprecated methods in ServerNPC 1.16.3.
• Fix other minor issues that I don't remember at the moment xD.

Fix player heads in config menus.

failed update

Sorry, I've uploaded other plugin, sorry

Fixed issues with ProtocolLib

Added 1.20.4

Re added 1.20.1 due to a popular petition

Fixed issues with new direct disk cache.

You can now turn off autoUpdate in ServerNPC's skin.yml file. To avoid skins refreshing every 5 minutes, simply disable it in the skin's config. This stops ServerNPC from redownloading that particular skin.

Example of disabled skin autoUpdate:

ServerNPC/skins/mojang-hello.yml

Fixed issue with UUID and Yaml

As a response to numerous requests, ServerNPC now caches skins on disk. Additionally, I've deprecated the usage of api.isnakebuzz.com. The plugin now directly communicates with Mojang/Mineskin servers.

This version works on Minecraft 1.20

• Added support to Minecraft 1.20
• Fixed issues with Holograms on 1.19.2 - 1.19.3
• Fixed issues with commands.
