'''Citizens''' is a Minecraft server plugin that utilizes the Bukkit API. It adds various Non-Player Character (NPC) functionalities, from simple NPCs that talk to lively, active Guards. Originally featuring only one type of NPC, Citizens now contains 7 toggleable types and 1 creature type. With the Citizens [[API]], plugins developers can make their plugins compatible with NPCs. Server admins are even able to choose which types that they want on their server.

== Getting started ==
Follow the directions below to set up Citizens to your liking.
 
* Go to the download page [http://www.citizensnpcs.net here].
* Follow instructions on the download page.
* Drag the generated Citizens.jar and /Citizens directory into the /plugins directory of your server files.
* Start and stop your server.
* Configure the files in the /plugins/Citizens. Use the [[Configuration]] page for reference.
* Give your players permissions. See the [[Commands and Permissions]] page for detailed node information.
* Start your server again. Enjoy!
 
== Your First NPC ==
 
It is important to read the [[Commands and Permissions]] page for an in-depth look at all of the commands you can use to customize your NPCs. For now, here is a basic guide on how to setup an NPC.
 
 
1. Type ''/npc create [name]''. Replace ''[name]'' with the name of your NPC. Optionally, you can add text to your NPC. To do this, simply add words after the name of the NPC. Example: ''/npc create Bob Hi, my name is Bob!''. If you want your NPC to have a skin, then give it a name of a player who has a skin. For example, typing ''/npc create Notch'' will create an NPC with Notch's skin.
 
2. If you didn't set the text of your NPC with the above command, you can type ''/npc add This is a sentence.'' to add text to it. Additionally, you can replace all of the current text with just one line by doing ''/npc set This text replaces all of the current text.'' Lastly, you can reset your NPC's text by typing ''/npc reset''.
 
3. If you want your NPC to have a colored nameplate, then type ''/npc color &[color-code]''. Replace ''[color-code]'' with the ID of the color you want the nameplate to be. Example: ''/npc color &6'' will give your NPC a gold nameplate. '''WARNING: Changing the color of an NPC's nameplate removes its skin.'''
 
4. Having a "vanilla" NPC is cool, but you may want to make it another type. To change an NPC's type, use the command ''/toggle [type]''. Replace ''[type]'' with the NPC type that you want to toggle your NPC to become. It is imperative that you have the NPC type's .jar file in your plugins/Citizens/types directory. If not, you won't be able to toggle an NPC to become that type.
 
== Characters ==
 
Formerly called NPC Types. Here and further known as just Characters, as they will be called in [[Citizens 2]].
 
'''Creature Types (These types spawn on their own):'''
 
* [[Evil NPCs]]
 
'''Toggleable Types (These types can be toggled):'''
 
* [[Blacksmith]]
* [[Guard]]
* [[Healer]]
* [[Quester]]
* [[Trader]]
* [[Wizard]]
 
== FAQ ==
If the above pages don't have answers to your problems, this section usually will. See the FAQ section on an NPC type's page for type-specific questions.
 
'''I'm getting an error regarding an NPC type(s) on startup. What should I do?'''
<br>Make sure all of your NPC type .JAR files are in the %ROOT%/plugins/Citizens/types directory.
 
'''Can I give my NPCs custom skins?'''
<br>Citizens does not officially support custom skins and '''never will'''. However, for custom skins and other client-side Citizens additions, it is recommended that you use [http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-fun-citizenspout-v0-0-1-give-your-npcs-unique-skins-1000-1060.32594/ CitizenSpout] by mbsuperstar1.
 
'''How come my NPC won't talk?'''
<br>You must be holding the configurable talk-item. You can change this item in citizens.yml under the node ''item.talk-items''. The default item is a book (ID 340).
 
'''Why isn't the ''/toggle'' command working?'''
<br>This is a conflict with xAuth. Use an alias: ''/tog'' or ''/t''.
 
'''I am getting errors, and none of the developers respond to my questions in the thread. What should I do?'''
<br>To get a response from a developer, it is key that you follow the directions in the README file that is packaged in Citizens.jar. You can also view it [https://github.com/CitizensDev/Citizens/blob/master/README here].
 
== Tips and tricks ==
 
* [[Message Formatting]]
 
== Credits ==
Citizens would not be where it is today without the contributions of these people:
 
'''fullwall''' - original programmer
<br>'''aPunch''' - programmer
<br>'''Paul_T''' - citizensnpcs.net server host
 
Also, a special thanks to all of those in IRC who have tested and to all of those who have donated! We would be nowhere without you!</div>
