✏️ CustomNPC+ 1.11 - The Scripting Update ✏️

The Scripting Update completely transforms how you write scripts in CNPC+! A brand new Script Editor with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and error detection makes scripting feel like a real IDE. Write scripts in Java with the new Janino engine, enable client-side scripting for responsive experiences, and organize your Cloner with folders!

Script Editor 📝

The script editor has been rebuilt from the ground up into a full-featured code editor right inside Minecraft.

Writing Code

Syntax Highlighting - Keywords, types, variables, methods, strings, and comments are all color-coded automatically. The editor understands your code -- local variables, global fields, and chained method calls each get their own color
Autocomplete - Start typing and get smart suggestions for methods, fields, and classes. Suggestions know whether you're in a static or instance context, and frequently used members appear first
Auto Imports - Type a class name and the editor suggests the correct import for you
Error Detection - Catch mistakes before you even run your script! Wrong argument types, missing methods, type mismatches, unused imports, and more are all underlined with detailed error messages on hover

Hover over any symbol to see its full type information, documentation, and declaration -- just like a desktop IDE.

Go To Line - CTRL+G jumps to any line instantly
Search & Replace - CTRL+F to search, CTRL+H to replace. All matches highlight in real-time
Go To Definition - CTRL+Click any method, field, or type to jump straight to its definition
Fullscreen Mode - Expand the editor to fill your entire game window for maximum workspace

Editing

Undo/Redo - Smart undo that works on whole words at a time, not individual characters
Line Operations - Duplicate lines with CTRL+D, delete lines, and move lines up or down with shortcuts
Comment Toggle - CTRL+/ to comment or uncomment selected lines
Rename - Rename a variable or method and every occurrence updates at once
Copy Whole Line - Copy with nothing selected grabs the entire line
Triple Click - Select an entire line instantly

Visual Polish

Line Numbers - A clean gutter with line numbers and current line highlighting
Smooth Scrolling - Eased scroll animations for a polished feel
Indent Guides - Vertical lines show your code's nesting depth, with the current scope highlighted in green
Brace Matching - Matching {} braces light up, and unclosed braces turn red
Smart Brackets - Typing { automatically creates the closing } with correct indentation. Same for (), [], "", and ''
Keyboard Shortcut Overlay - Press a button to see all available shortcuts at a glance

Java Scripting ☕

Write scripts in real Java instead of JavaScript! Powered by the Janino compiler, your Java code is compiled and runs natively.

Full Java Language - Use classes, interfaces, enums, generics, lambdas, and everything you know from Java
Automatic Hook Resolution - Just name your methods after the hook you want (e.g., init, tick, interact) and they're wired up automatically
Language Selector - Each script tab has a dropdown to choose between JavaScript and Java. Mix and match across tabs
External Files - Write .java scripts in an external editor and they're loaded automatically

Java and JavaScript scripts coexist side by side. Pick whichever language fits your workflow!

Client-Side Scripting 🖥️

Scripts can now run on the client for responsive, visual experiences!

Server Controlled - Server owners decide whether client scripting is allowed. Players can't enable it on their own
Automatic Sync - Script files are sent from the server to all connected clients on login, and re-synced whenever scripts are reloaded
Safe by Default - Client scripting is off by default and must be explicitly enabled in the server config

Client-side scripts open the door to custom UI effects, visual feedback, and client-only hooks -- all while the server stays in full control.

Cloner Tab Overhaul 📂

The Cloner now supports folders for organizing your saved NPCs, items, and entries!

Folder System - Create folders and subfolders to keep your cloner organized however you like
Full Screen Browser - A new full-width directory view makes browsing large collections much easier
Improved Tabs - Better tab navigation for switching between cloner categories

Addon API Support 📘

Addon developers can now ship type definitions alongside their mods, giving scripters full autocomplete and documentation for addon APIs!

Automatic Loading - Any mod can include API definitions and they'll appear in the script editor automatically
Patch Support - Addons can extend existing CNPC+ types with new methods (e.g., a DBC addon adding getDBCPlayer() to the Player type)
Full Documentation - Parameter names, return types, and descriptions all show up in autocomplete and hover info

If you're a scripter using addons, you get autocomplete for their APIs with zero setup. If you're an addon developer, just include your definitions and everything works.

Animation Improvements 🎬

Data Store - Animations can now store and pass data across events and frames for more complex animation logic
Task System - A new consumer-based system for reacting to animation lifecycle events, replacing the old approach
Expanded API - More animation control exposed to the scripting API

Additional Changes 🔧

Player Dialog Events - Now work the same way as NPC Dialog Events for consistency
Linked Item Attack Speed - Added attack speed configuration to linked items
Trader Balance Preview - Client-side balance prediction shows your expected balance during trades
Right-Click Cycling - Multi-option NPC buttons (Hair, Eyes, Fur, etc.) can now be right-clicked to cycle backwards
Quest Cooldown Fix - Fixed cooldown not working for MC Custom and RL Custom timer types
Bard Music Fix - Fixed music restarting or duplicating when opening dialogs
Biome Spawn Fix - Fixed NPC biome spawn settings not saving after editing
Block Waypoint Fix - Fixed issues with block waypoints
