CiviliansMod - Bring Your Minecraft World to Life
What is CiviliansMod?
CiviliansMod will transform your survival or creative world beyond recognition! If you're working on building cities, towns, or villages, this mod provides the perfect solution for bringing atmosphere to life. Similar to how villagers populate standard Minecraft villages, CiviliansMod adds active non-player characters who give build locations the feeling of real life.
How the Mod Works
To create civilian residents, you need to: craft a special item called "NPC Totem", then use it on an unassigned villager. Simply right-click on a villager to transform them into a random default civilian character. If default characteristics don't suit you, just crouch and right-click the created NPC - a personalized interface will open where you can assign any name and choose from numerous appearance variations the suitable skin.
NPC Capabilities
The main purpose of NPCs is to create a realistic environment in your creations. Their presence creates the impression that civilian individuals actually live and move around. Here's what they can do:
- Random movement across territory
- Automatic entry and exit from buildings
- Dialogues upon interaction
- Unique reactions when taking damage
- Full customization to match the theme
- Lead attachment option for precise placement
- Stationary position mode
- Player following mode
Loading Custom Skins
To add personal character textures:
- Open the settings interface and navigate to the "Custom" tab
- Two options will appear: "↑Wide" and "↑Slim"
- Upload PNG format files to the corresponding directory (4px wide arms to ↑Wide folder, 3px thin arms to ↑Slim folder)
- Click the refresh icon in the top right
- After this, personal skins will become available for applying to NPCs

NPC Creation Process

- Find an unassigned villager to automatically transform into NPC by applying the totem.
- Adjust parameters through additional interface with Shift + right-click combination.
Tip: Prepare villager sources on construction territory or create villager breeding system for constant access to transformation materials.
