Villager Interaction

This is the datapack for our Christmas World 2020 Villager interactions.

What this datapack does

This is a collection of datapacks we havecreated for our Christmas World 2020. It contains a separate datapack for each of the villagers that have a tellraw interaction.

When you load the datapack and get close to the villagers with datapack, then they will say something to you (tellraw) and they will give you options to reply. According to your answer, they will say something more, stop speaking or even give you something.

No mods or plugins required!

How to install

Download the folder npcs_datapacks and unzip.
It contains a series of datapacks as zip folders: beat.zip, caspar.zip, charlotte.zip, etc.
You can install all of them or only selected zip folders. It is made in a way, that you can easily add your own datapacks.
These folders must be pasted into your folder datapacks in the following location: .minecraft/saves/(world)/datapacks

Do not unzip the folder leave it as it is! Done.

Setup

First of all make sure you have summond a villager with the same tag as the one used in the datapack. The datapack name and the tag name are the same.

If you use our Christmas World 2020, all the needed villagers are already summond in the world and you can go straight to the next step.

Once installed the datapack you have to setup from within the game.

1. Go into the world as an operator (cheats enabled). If the world was already running type the /reload command. This will make sure Minecraft loads your datapack into the game.
2. Enable the three scoreboard objectives by running this command: /function mydatapack:setup_mynpc

Example: For beat.zip the command is /function beat:setup_beat

Compatibility

These datapacks only modify villagers and have no further interaction with other villagers. We tested them with and without Citizens2 plugin, so far.

In case for having further datapacks regarding villager behaviour, have a look at the next paragraph, please.

Known issues and bugs

The command functions are not (yet) working properly.
There are also some interactions with Citizens2. This means, it does work with the plugin installed, but it takes some reloads.
In general, the setup function of the datapack is not always stable.
