NPC

Non player characters (abbreviated as NPCs) are passive and interactive mobs that have a model similar to that of villagers. They are exclusive to and .
== Spawning ==
Unlike other entities, NPCs do not spawn naturally; they can be spawned using the NPC spawn egg (it can be obtained with the following command: /give @s spawn_egg 1 51), or by using the command /summon npc. When spawned, an NPC displays a name hovering over its head. The default name is "NPC" with a color code of §e, resulting in the name being yellow.
To spawn an NPC with its spawn egg, the player must have the Worldbuilder authorization, automatically granted to players in Creative mode, or by using the command.
== Behavior ==
NPCs have no AI. They can neither move nor be pushed by other entities. They also cannot take damage nor be affected by potions. NPCs can still turn their body and stare at the nearest player if close enough. The NPCs can be pushed by sticky pistons from below or their sides with a slime block attached, and they can slide on ice when pushed.
NPCs can also block minecarts from passing. Minecarts cannot go through NPCs.
NPCs are invulnerable to attacks. If an NPC is attacked by zoglins, withers, wardens, and vindicators named Johnny, the NPC remains undamaged. Projectiles pass through them. However, an NPC dies when going below Y=-64, and despawns if it falls into the void.
== Interface ==
Right-clicking an NPC displays the interface. It can be edited only as long as the player has the world builder permission. The interface allows the player to edit the dialog, name, appearance and advanced settings. When the player does not have the world builder permission, it shows only the dialog and buttons.

::* @initiator is a specialized Target selector that targets the player that has interacted with the NPC, distinguishing them from other players that may interact later. This is useful for running commands on a per-player basis.
