This tutorial will show you how to create player NPCs and add them into your world. These player NPCs will take vanilla player skins, and come included with walk-animations, attack animations, etc.

This tutorial is a graphical tutorial. Mechanics are not covered.

WARNING

This will be a very json-heavy document. The json is intended for copy-pasting.

Entity File

Use this entity file if you would like to have animations for your geometry. This file includes error-free animations for:

walking
looking at player
idle

If you need a more complete set of animations, consider copying the default player RP-entity file, and trying to work with the animations by hand.
