Give villagers their own routes. Place waypoints with the Route Stick, preview the path in the world, and pick a day, night or all-day schedule. Villagers loop the route and skip waypoints they can't reach.

What's new

LivingNPC 1.0.2 for Minecraft 26.3

Requires Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.19.5+, Fabric API and Java 25. Not compatible with Minecraft 1.21.x.

Updating from 1.0.1

  • Your existing routes are kept. Old waypoints are moved onto each villager automatically the first time that villager's chunk is loaded. The old villager_waypoints.json is left untouched.
  • Back up your world before updating.

New features

  • Route preview in the world: hold the Route Stick to see particles at each waypoint and a line along the path the villager actually walks. Unreachable waypoints and segments are marked.
  • Show Route / Hide Route button to choose which villagers display their route.
  • Route schedule: Always, Day Only or Night Only. Outside that time the villager goes back to its normal life, including its own bed at night.
  • Delete a single waypoint with the red X in the list.
  • Redesigned GUI: new theme, scrollable waypoint list and a Close button. Fits small screens and high GUI scales.
  • New Route Stick texture and mod icon.

Improvements

  • Villagers no longer get stuck on waypoints they can't reach. They skip after 10 seconds and try again on the next loop.
  • Villagers stand on a walkable block near the waypoint, so clicking a wall, door or roof still works.
  • Villagers pause the route while sleeping or trading, then resume.
  • Waypoints remember their dimension.
  • Villagers remember their place in the route after a restart.
  • Route data is saved with the villager and removed when the villager is gone.
  • Up to 64 waypoints per villager.
  • Chat and GUI text can be translated.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed waypoints not being added in singleplayer.
  • Fixed two players placing waypoints at the same time mixing up villagers.
  • Fixed each click adding the same waypoint twice in singleplayer.
  • Fixed doors, chests and beds being used while placing waypoints.
  • Fixed the GUI going off-screen on small windows.
  • Fixed stale button labels and client state after rejoining a server.
  • The server now checks that the player has that villager's window open before accepting changes.

Technical

  • Built for Minecraft 26.3 (Mojang mappings), Fabric API 0.161.0+26.3, Java 25.
  • The crafting recipe is unchanged. The recipe-unlock advancement moved from recipes/tools/ to recipes/misc/.
