Note: Please always back up your world / NPCs before updating to a new version! Check the upgrade guide for more information.

6.1.0 ✨

This is a major release. Please back up your worlds and NPC data before updating. This version contains many improvements, optimizations, and internal changes that are not fully compatible with earlier releases.

⚠️ Breaking changes

• Existing NPCs and their configuration data from versions before 6.1.0 may not load correctly or may require manual adjustments.
• Internal data formats and some behaviors have been refactored to support new use-cases.

🧩 New modular structure

Easy NPC is now split into three separate mods:

• Easy NPC – Bundle that includes both Core and Configuration UI for a plug‑and‑play experience.
• Easy NPC: Core – Lightweight runtime and logic for NPCs, with minimal dependencies. Intended for servers, modpacks, and developers.
• Easy NPC: Configuration UI – Standalone configuration interface for creating and editing NPCs. Can be installed on clients that need the UI.

🎯 Why this change?

• Allows servers and modpacks to ship only the Core mod on the server side for a leaner setup.
• Reduces memory usage and load times when the UI is not required everywhere.
• Makes development and testing faster by separating UI and core logic.
