Parrot Author aufdemrand Version 0.3 Citizens build 2.0 Development status InDev Download Link BukkitDev Link Source Link Issues Link Description: A parrot (chicken) NPC that can be used for fun or for clues. Installing Character Types

Parrots can be just for fun, or be used with questing to hold clues, and are meant to be used on Chicken NPCs, though could technically be any kind. Enderdragon parrots, anybody? (Joking! Probably not a good idea!)

Parrots randomly store messages said in the local area and repeat them back. Parrots can also be fed a clue, information that it keeps and blurts out with the normal chatter it has heard.

Creating a Parrot

Parrots work best with chickens.

 /npc create parrotname --type chicken --char parrot 

Features

Parrots hold 5 messages automatically by listening to surrounding chatter. Parrots hold 1 message fed by the parrot owner.
