I’d like to request another feature for the mod: the button or gui option that allows an NPC to follow you anywhere (in a way like a tamed wolf would do perhaps), this can be done either by a simple follow/stay button, or executed with a special dialogue option, alternatively for giving an NPC a specific item you could bring it. The NPC could either stay in one place when it’s waiting for a player to move, or could wander in 1-5 block radius (which may also be edited). If the player goes far away, it could simply teleport to the player’s destination, same may work with moving between dimensions like the End or Nether, NPC could simply be teleported with player.

I really enjoy the mod, and I wish you best of luck in future progress!

Thanks for the feedback, this sounds like one of my other mod see: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/player-companions
In general I plan to add automatic movements, but this sounds more like a companion feature.

Thank you for responding! It sort of is a companion feature, although it would also be really useful for editing and video making purposes, as this modification does support player skin option (which is quite neat for machinimas or recreating events from multiplayer), the Companion Mod is a great one too (but seeing a way to edit mob’s health to infinite or having a player-sized model would be an interesting option too)

Ahhh I see the video making use case was not on my mind. Lets see what I could do in this case.

I current working on the next major update with multiple cool new features.
The next major update allows you to define goals for the NPCs like:

Basically the NPC could follow any living entity even other Easy NPC.
It this enough for your use-case or do you need a NPC item to easily tell the NPC to stop and no longer follow you ?

If you add this, this mod will almost completly replace custom NPC for me. It does everything I need it to do once they can move around.

You probably cant do it in the current public release, no? :D

Great work man

I nearly changed most of the code and so it's not possible to just release part of it's.
I also restructured the data, to make sure to store as less as possible data and to send only the needed data over the network.
The current version just sends everything which is a waste of network data.

There are a lot of new feature like:

Attribute Editor

Dialog Editor

Button Editor

Objective Editor

When everything works according the plan this new version should be ready by the end of this week.

I just released a beta version for 1.18.2 over https://legacy.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/easy-npc/files/4862368 which include this feature for testing.

If there are no critical issues in the next 1-2 weeks the next version will be released for all version from 1.18.2 to 1.20.1 (maybe 1.20.2, most of the build tools are not fully ready for 1.20.2 yet) together with an updated documentation.
