| ==Citizens2 is Here! What's New?==
| |
| For the past few months, we have been planning a complete rewrite of the core code and API. We believed that Citizens wasn't fully living up to its potential. There were so many things we could do - so many places we could go with it. But the code didn't allow for many of these things. So, we agreed to completely redo the system. With Citizens2 comes a better code base, better API, and shiny new features for server administrators to play with.
| |
|
| |
| ===Key Features===
| |
| -New and improved [[API]] for developers. This allows for brand new [[Characters]] to be made that can enhance your Minecraft experience.
| |
| <br><br>-Database support. When the settings first generate, the default save method is YML. You can change ''use-database'' in the ''config.yml'' to true if you wish to use a database. There are also database settings that you must configure before you can begin using the database.
| |
| <br><br>-Mob NPCs. No longer are you confined to human NPCs. Now you can create intimidating blazes around a Nether portal, welcoming sheep near the spawn, and helpful villagers in your villages. See the [[Commands]] page to see how to create a mob NPC.
| |
| <br><br>-Improved text editing. The new text-editing interface allows for easier NPC text adding, removing, and changing.
