NPCs

NPCs 0.2.4

NPCs 0.2.4 limits combat NPC death loot so guards, archers, bounty hunters, and mercenaries no longer dump every visible equipment slot when defeated.

Player-visible changes

• Hostile linked NPCs now drop curated loot instead of their full inventory.
• Archer-style NPCs drop a used bow and a small arrow bundle.
• Guard, hunter, and mercenary NPCs drop one or two visible combat items such as a weapon, shield, or armour piece.

Admin and compatibility notes

• Player-owned bodyguards, traders, neutral quest NPCs, and non-hostile linked NPCs do not gain loot drops from this change.
• The change is centralised in NPCs for linked fake-player NPCs from integrations such as StormCourts and StormQuests.
• No new commands or config keys are required.

Bug fixes

• Fixed fake-player NPC deaths allowing Minecraft's default player death inventory handling to drop all equipped NPC gear.
• Death drop processing is de-duplicated for player-backed NPC death events.
