### 6.0.x (Experimental) ✨
This is still an experimental release, please backup your worlds and NPCs before using it.
⚠️ It's very likely that there will be breaking changes with NPCs and their configurations from
between versions! ⚠️
📝 Note:
Easy NPC is now split into two separate mods:
* **Easy NPC: Core** A lightweight mod for developing NPCs with minimal dependencies.
* **Easy NPC: Configuration UI** A standalone mod providing the configuration interface for NPCs.
🎯 Why the change?
* Developers and Modpacks can now include just the Core mod for a leaner setup.
* Faster loading times and less memory usage and faster development cycles.
⚙️ Enjoy more flexibility and customization! 💡
