Citizens2 beta is here!


What's New?

For the past few months, we have been planning a complete rewrite of the core code and API. We believed that Citizens wasn't fully living up to its potential. There were so many things we could do and so many places we could go with it. But the code didn't allow for many of these things. So, we agreed to completely redo the system. With Citizens2 comes a better code base, better API, and shiny new features for server administrators to play with.


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 use-database in the config.yml to true 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! We're constantly adding new features, so stay tuned!


But, what happened to my NPC types? Can I still use those?

NPC types are now known as "Characters". Instead of placing these JAR files into the /plugins/Citizens/types directory, all you need to do is drop the JAR in the plugins folder. It is important to note, however, that all of your previous NPC type files will not work. You need to upgrade to the new characters if you so choose to use them. You can find more information on each character at the Characters page. Where's the Healer and Trader? Hang tight! Where's the quester? We're reworking the questing experience, you will love it!


Well how do I get this shiny new version?

Citizens 2 is still in development, and isn't stable enough for a production server. However, there are development builds out that can be found on Jenkins. Instructions to install the development builds can be found on the Installation page.


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 .
