🔌 About the plugin CommandNPC
CommandNPC — is a Minecraft server plugin that lets Citizens2 NPCs run configured commands when a player interacts with them (click). CommandNPC focuses on adding configurable command behaviour to Citizens2 NPCs so servers can attach commands, permissions and simple economy hooks to NPC interactions.
🎯 Purpose
CommandNPC solves the need to bind server commands to NPC interactions without custom coding. It allows server admins to create interactive NPCs that execute commands (as player, op or console), charge players, and apply cooldowns or click‑type rules.
CommandNPC is specifically an add‑on for Citizens2; it does not replace Citizens2.
⚙ Main features
- Add commands to Citizens2 NPCs that execute when clicked.
- Flags to run commands as console or op, randomize commands, set delays and cooldowns.
- Support for placeholders: use %name% to reference the clicking player.
- Optional charge per execution (economy hooks) via command flags.
- Supports PlaceholderAPI (integration) and reports metrics via bStats.
- BungeeCord support for server
teleport command through NPCs.
(Confirmed features are taken from official plugin listings and repository information.)
🧩 Who it's for
CommandNPC fits servers that use Citizens2 and want clickable NPC interactions: survival servers, hub/lobby servers, minigame networks (for basic server teleports), and any setup where admins need lightweight NPC‑bound commands.
🏗 Usage examples
- Create a hub NPC that teleports players to another server using a Bungee 'server' command bound to the NPC.
- Use /npc cmdadd to add multiple possible commands and set them to run randomly with -r.
- Charge players a small fee when they use a special NPC via the --v price flag.
