NPCs

NPCs 0.2.3

Player-Visible Changes

• NPCs now swim through normal water paths instead of building cobble platforms into lakes, streams, or underwater routes.
• NPCs now use true underwater follow movement, including descending and ascending through flooded caves instead of staying at the water surface.
• NPCs avoid lava, fire, magma blocks, and campfires during traversal assist decisions.

Admin And Compatibility Notes

• Temporary cobble bridges now place only into dry air-like gaps; water and hazard blocks are never replaced by bridge material.
• Existing journaled temporary bridges that originally replaced water are treated as unsafe and are queued for normal cleanup.
• Long/deep water crossings still use the existing boat behavior; short water uses swim movement first.
• Added safe defaults for behavior.water-navigation.aquatic-follow-enabled, vertical-swim-step-blocks, and max-depth-search-blocks; existing configs inherit the defaults.
