🧍♂️ WHAT IS THE CIVILIANS MOD?
Civilians brings life and realism to your Minecraft world! Whether you’re building a city, town, or village, Civilians fills your creations with interactive NPCs that look and act like real players.
Just like villagers in Minecraft villages — but far more customizable — Civilians walk around, go in and out of buildings, chat with you, and make your world feel alive.
Perfect for builders, roleplayers, and survival players who want to make their worlds feel populated and immersive!

⚙️ How It Works
Everything starts with the ‘NPC Totem’. Craft the Totem and use it on an unassigned villager to convert them into a Civilian NPC. If you don’t like their default look, sneak + right-click the NPC to open a customization GUI, where you can rename them and browse through a wide range of skin variations — or even upload your own!
🧩 WHAT CAN THE NPC DO?
Right now, Civilians are designed to add life and atmosphere — not to trade or farm like villagers. (Though this is an upcoming feature!) Their main purpose is to make your creations feel lived-in and alive!
Here’s what they can do:
-🚶 Walk around your world
-🏠 Enter and exit buildings
-💬 Talk to you when right-clicked
-💢 Say different dialogue when hurt
-🎭 Be renamed and reskinned for your theme
-🧶 Be attached to a lead for moving them around
-📍 Stay in place or follow you
-🗨️ Have custom dialogue unique to each NPC
🎨 HOW TO UPLOAD CUSTOM SKINS FOR YOUR NPC
-
Open the Customization GUI and click on the ‘Custom’ tab.
-
Two buttons will appear: ↑Wide and ↑Slim
-
↑Wide → for skins with 4px arms (standard)
-
↑Slim → for skins with 3px arms (Alex-style)
-
Drop your .png skin files into the correct folder.
-
Click the refresh button in the top-right corner of the GUI.
-
Your custom skins will now appear in the GUI, ready to apply to any NPC!
This example was uploaded in the ↑Wide folder because it has 4px arms.

🪄 HOW TO BRING A CIVILIAN INTO YOUR WORLD
- Craft an NPC Totem
-
You’ll need 8 Redstone Dust and 1 Amethyst Shard
-
Place the Amethyst in the center and Redstone all around in a crafting table
-
Right-click an unassigned villager with the Totem
-
The villager will instantly transform into a Civilian NPC — it’s that easy!
