Advanced NPC is a mod for Minetest, based on mobs_redo.
The goal of this mod is to be able to have live villages in Minetest. These NPCs are highly inspired by the typical NPCs of Harvest Moon games. The general idea is that on almost all buildings of a village there are NPCs that are kind of intelligent: they have daily tasks they perform, can speak to players, can trade with the player, can use their own items (chests and furnaces for example), know where to go around their house and village, can be lumbers, miners or any other Minetest-suitable profession and can ultimately engage into relationships with the player. And while basically only players are mentioned here, the ultimate goal is that they can do all of this also among themselves, so that villages are alive and evolving by themselves, without player intervention.
- [ ] NPCs should be able to trade, either buy or sell items to/from player and other NPCs
- There are two types of traders: casual and dedicated.
- [x] Casual traders are normal NPC which occasionaly make buy or sell offers to the player
- [ ] Dedicated traders are traders that, when talked to, always make buy and sell offers. They have a greater variety too.
- [ ] NPCs will also be able to offer "services", for example, repairing tools, by receiving an item and a payment, and then returning a specific item.
- [x] NPCs should be able to walk to specific places. Should also be able to open doors, fence gates and any other type of openable node while going to a place.
- [ ] NPCs should be able to perform different activities on depending on the time of the day. For instance, a NPC could be farming during the morning, selling its product on the afternoon, and comfortable sitting at home during the night.
