What's New?

After months of waiting, Citizens 2.0 is finally here! You can download it here. For instructions on how to install it, check out the Installation page.

Key Features

• New and improved API for developers. This allows for brand new Characters to be made that can enhance your Minecraft experience.
• Database support. When the settings first generate, the default save method is YML. You can change storage.type in the config.yml to database if you wish to use a database. There are also database settings that you must configure before you can begin using the database.
• 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.
• Improved text editing. The new text-editing interface allows for easier NPC text adding, removing, and changing. There are also a few new text-related Configuration settings.
• Ability to set the server as the owner of an NPC. This makes it so only those with the "citizens.admin" permission can use and edit the NPC.
• Ridable NPCs. 'nuff said.
• A new scripting engine makes Citizens perhaps the most powerful plugin you have ever used.
• New Characters!
• And much more!

Can I keep my old NPCs?

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 The old documentation, while no longer updated or supported, can be found here.
