Built-in Pixel Art Editor
NPC-RealTalking includes a built-in pixel art editor directly inside the web panel, allowing you to create dialogue textures without using external image software.
Design custom icons, selectors, numbers, portraits, and small UI elements from your browser, then apply them directly to your dialogue resource pack.
- Draw textures directly in the web panel
- Create 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 pixel art
- Use pencil, eraser, fill bucket, color picker, lines, rectangles, circles, triangles, and text tools
- Undo and redo changes while editing
- Use a quick color palette or custom color picker
- Import existing PNG files
- Export your texture as PNG
- Use built-in templates for numbers, arrows, and frames
- Save the texture directly into the resource pack editor
- Apply the texture to dialogue visuals such as selectors, option numbers, NPC portraits, or custom icons
The pixel art editor is designed to make small Minecraft-style UI textures fast to create and easy to reuse across different dialogues.

Powerful Dialogue Logic
Each dialogue option can include requirements and different outcomes depending on whether the player meets them.
- Require permissions, items, money, levels, flags, or custom conditions
- Create success and failure branches for each option
- Send messages, run commands, give or take items, jump to another node, stay, or close the dialogue
- Build quests, shops, tutorials, RPG conversations, locked options, and progression-based NPCs
This allows one NPC to react differently depending on the player's progress, inventory, permissions, or server state.

Import & Export Dialogues as JSON
NPC-RealTalking allows you to import dialogue files in JSON format directly into the web editor.
This is useful for sharing, backing up, migrating, or creating dialogue templates outside the panel.
- Import existing dialogue JSON files
- Export dialogues as JSON backups
- Duplicate and reuse dialogue structures
- Move dialogues between servers or environments
- Create templates for quests, shops, tutorials, or NPC interactions
- Edit advanced structures externally when needed
Imported dialogues can include nodes, options, conditions, actions, global events, visual settings, and dialogue metadata.
After importing a dialogue, you can edit it normally from the web panel, validate it, publish it, and synchronize it with the Minecraft plugin.

Community Dialogue Sharing
NPC-RealTalking supports dialogue import and export through JSON files, making it possible to share complete dialogue systems between servers.
In the future, a community website is planned where users will be able to upload, browse, download, and share ready-made dialogue templates created by other server owners.
This could include:
- Quest NPC dialogues
- Shop NPC templates
- Tutorial conversations
- RPG story characters
- Lobby helper NPCs
- Event dialogues
- Reusable condition/action examples
Cinematic NPC Camera
NPC-RealTalking can automatically focus the player's camera toward the NPC during a conversation, creating a more immersive dialogue experience.
- Smoothly keeps the player focused on the speaking NPC
- Configurable camera return speed
- Configurable delay before the camera recenters
- Optional zoom effect when the conversation starts
- Optional darkness effect for a more cinematic feel
- Automatically restores the player after the conversation ends
Server owners can decide how strong or subtle the camera behavior should be from the plugin configuration.
Code:
camera:
return-speed: 0.25
delay-to-return-seconds: 0.8
visuals:
zoom:
enabled: true
level: 3
darkness:
enabled: trueVideo is first version beta 0.5.
(The plugin is currently at version 1.5. I've greatly improved the camera system.):
Documentation / Wiki
NPC-RealTalking already includes a complete wiki with installation guides, web panel usage, plugin configuration, dialogue creation, validation, publishing, custom textures, the dialogue simulator, and troubleshooting.

The wiki is currently written in Spanish, as the project originally started for a Spanish-speaking community. However, it can be easily translated with your browser if needed.
A full English version of the documentation is planned, as the project is moving toward English-first support, resources, and communication.

/nrtImportant DRM / API Key Notice
NPC-RealTalking uses a plugin API key system. The plugin connects to the hosted backend to download and synchronize published dialogues for the configured server.
Without a valid plugin API key, the plugin cannot sync web-created dialogues.
Basic sync logs may be stored for security and troubleshooting purposes.
API Key Delivery
NPC-RealTalking requires a plugin API key to connect to the hosted web backend and synchronize published dialogues.
The API key is provided through Discord after the purchase has been verified. Without a valid API key, the plugin cannot sync web-created dialogues.
Early Access / Beta Notice
NPC-RealTalking is currently in an early access / beta stage.
The plugin and web editor are already functional, but they may still contain bugs, missing polish, edge cases, or behavior that changes as the system improves.
Because of this, the current price is intentionally lower for early adopters who want to test the system, use it on their servers, provide feedback, and help shape the future of the project.
By purchasing during this stage, you understand that:
- Some bugs or unexpected behavior may occur
- Features may change or improve over time
- The web editor and plugin will continue receiving updates
- Feedback from early users will help prioritize improvements
- The current lower price is meant for users willing to join the project early
Use Cases
- RPG NPC conversations

Support
If you need help installing, configuring, or connecting the plugin with the web panel, support is available after purchase.
Please make sure Citizens is installed and your server can connect to the backend before requesting support.
