Citizens2 is an advanced NPC plugin for CraftBukkit. Unlike the original Citizens, Citizens2 allows developers to extend basic NPCs to provide varied gameplay and functionality.

Key Features

• Walk and talk. NPCs can stand in place or walk paths at adjustable speed. The can talk to players when clicked or when players walk nearby.
• New and improved API for developers. This allows for brand new Characters to be made that can enhance your NPC experience.
• Monster and animal NPCs. 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.
• Ridable and controllable NPCs.
• Robust text editing. The new text-editing interface allows for adding, removing, and editing NPC text.
• Player- and server-owned NPCS. Server-owned NPCs can be edited by anyone with the citizens.admin permission.
• Admins can optionally charge for NPC creation and limit the number of NPCs per player.
• A built-in scripting engine allows NPCs to run external scripts (javascript, lua, python, etc.)

Can I keep my NPCs from Citizens 1?

You'll have to convert your old npc-profiles.yml files first. A converter can be found here on the site. Once you get the saves.yml file, place it in ./plugins/Citizens/saves.yml .

Still using Citizens 1.2? The old documentation, while no longer updated or supported, can be found here.
