Custom NPCs

The Custom NPCs mod allows you to create unique NPCs with the ability to edit jobs, health, what they trade for, what they carry, and even what they look like.

You will need to have the NPC wand to spawn new villagers or you can clone existing villagers with the clone tool and spawn them into your structures. You won’t be able to customize the cloned villagers unless you created them yourself first but you can drop them in wherever you like.

Editing the perks of your NPC is very easy in a simple GUI that explains the perks in separate tabs. Here you can edit the health level of them to what their purpose is. You can make them simple traders or armed guards or anything in between. The sky is pretty much the limit but above all they work for you now.

The NPCs are incredibly customizable to look however you want. Any mob model is available to you including Golems, Zombies, spiders, and even customizable player models to edit to your will.

Once you’ve got your NPCs setup you can even add quests to the game. Control what your NPC is wanting you to do or find and set the rewards upon completion. This adds a new layer of Minecraft becoming a true RPG. Create a world for you and your friends, load it up with villagers and tradesman, and have an adventure while also building experience.

Animal Bikes

The Animal Bikes Mod essentially makes it possible to create a mount out of almost any mob in Minecraft.

Aside from being able to travel faster in the game, this mod actually gives you something previously un-craftable: the Saddle. The saddle is created after you’ve crafted rawhide, which is 9 pieces of leather. And additionally with this mod you can craft leather from rotten flesh by cooking it in a furnace. Now there’s a little more purpose to the zombies you kill each night.

The saddle is the key component to being able to ride different mobs. You’re not really crafting a special saddle to ride a mob, but rather you are crafting the mob itself. Each one has their own recipe and is actually more of a vehicle than a mob. You craft each individual “bike” despite it actually being a living thing.

This mod does also add a few new mobs you can craft like Reindeer, Flowers, Chinese Dragons, Bunnies, and Dinosaurs. And along with those most of the standard mobs are craftable and rideable.

Once you have your bike crafted, all you need to do is right click with the item in hand to spawn it, then right click again with an empty hand to ride it. Each animal has a different speed and/or ability. For instance the Ender Dragon, while giving you the ability to fly, will also breath fire for you if you right click it with flint and steel.

It’s definitely worth checking out if you want a faster than sprint pace or flying ability. And it’s much simpler than having to find a saddle and horse. Plus who wouldn’t want to ride a little creeper pig.

More Player Models

The More Player Models Mod adds the age old RPG element of character creation to Minecraft. It allows you to customize near every feature of your player and even allows you to play as any of the mobs in the game, including the Enderdragon!

The character creation screen is simply accessed by pressing F6. Once in, the whole creation process is easy to navigate.

You can adjust certain features to your default character such as a beard or wings and you can even change the scale of each of your limbs.

Or you could really take advantage of all this mod has to offer:

Obviously this mod would be better suited for a multiplayer server so each player can have their own, easily created, character. But it works just fine for single player use. You can even save your customizations so you can swap different character models without having to recreate your settings each time.
