This page contains frequently asked questions regarding the Citizens project. You should always check here before submitting an issue, asking on IRC, or posting on the forums. You're queries could very well have already been answered here.

How do I upgrade from old versions to Citizens 2.0?

See the Installation page.

How do I get <enter NPC type here>?

NPC types are now called "characters". These are no longer built-in JARs that you place in the /plugins/Citizens/types directory. You must download each individual character and place it in the /plugins folder. You can find out more about characters on the Characters page, or learn how to make your own on the API page.

Can I change what skin an NPC has?

The short answer is no. Human NPCs will use the default skin, or the skin of that named registered user. For a detailed explanation, see the Skins page.

Why is Citizens 2.0 not enabling properly?

Citizens requires a certain version of Minecraft, CraftBukkit, and CitizensAPI in order to work.

Why cant my users hear my NPCs?

Make sure you give them the proper permissions. See {[Permissions]].

I can't right-click to select an NPC

By default you must be holding a stick to right-click-select a NPC. The object can be changed in the Configuration.

+==How do I upgrade from old versions to Citizens 2.0?==
-Upgrading to Citizens2 is simple. Delete and/or backup '''all''' of your previous Citizens files. Download the appropriate Citizens JAR (whether you want to test developmental builds is up to you), and place it in the ''/plugins'' folder. From there, all of the new settings will generate and you can start creating new NPCs. Refer to the [[Configuration]], [[Commands]], and [[Permissions]] for further help.
+See the [[Installation]] page.
