Welcome to the Citizens Wiki! 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

• NPCs can 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 The old documentation, while no longer updated or supported, can be found here.
