A simple NPC mod that lets you add dialogue to any entity.

Forge 1.20 - 1.20.1

This small mod makes it so map makers can create custom dialogue, using datapacks, for entities in the world.

Usage

Dialogue can be applied to any entity using the command:
/conversations set <entity> <conversation id>

Dialogue can be forcibly started without a speaker entity for any player using the command
/conversations start <player> <conversation id> <speaker #optional>

Creating Dialogue

Creating dialoge is very easy, just make a datapack and in your data directory under your namespace add a "conversations" folder then create a .json file in there.

• The name of the file will be the id of the conversation, and your pack's namespace will be the name space. EX: my pack's name is "pack" and my filename is "test.json" so the conversation id will be "pack:test"

The following is a list of the json structure for dialogue files.

• #required means that that key is required for the dialogue to be read.

{
    "title": "string", #string #required
    "starting_index": 0, #integer
    "global_actions": [ #optional list of actions that can be called from anywhere.
        { #example of a conditional action object
            "condition":"", #string
            "action":"" #string #requried
        }
    ],
    "dialogues": [ #required
        {
            "dialogue": "", #string #required
            "replies":[ #required
                {
                    "reply":"", #string #required
                    "action": #list or single action object #required
                }
            ],
            "condition": "", #string
            "type_sound":"", #string
            "talk_sound": {
                "sound":"", #string
                "volume": 0.5, #double
                "pitch": 0.5 #double
            },
            "timings": [0.5, 1.5, 5.0, 10.0] #array of doubles
        }
    ]
}

Sorry for the breif and possibly incomplete documentation, this mod is still a WIP.
