[0.8.0]

Added / Changed / Fixed

• Changed persistent Free Roam to use the same ambient behavior system as naturally spawned NPCs.

• Moved NPC name tag visibility to a client-only global setting per player, accessible from Mod Menu and a new config keybind.

• Removed the server-side NPC name tag toggle from the interaction menu so one player no longer changes visibility for everyone.

• Fixed npc-dynamics:open_menu payload registration so the NPC menu packet encodes correctly.

• Added a safe fallback message instead of sending GUI packets to clients that do not have the mod installed.

• Added Mod Menu client settings to hide NPC name tags locally or show them always / only when nearby.

• Added a client-only nametag rendering override so the preference only affects the local player.

• Fixed dedicated server startup by removing a client-only screen reference from common item initialization.

• Kept the custom NPC spawn UI client-side while preserving the same in-game behavior for players.

• NPC now can use bed correctly.

NPC Dynamics — Changelog

Features Added

• NPC Natural Spawing
• Boat Riding — Mannequin automatically boards the player's boat when the player rides one, and dismounts when the player does.
• Trident Throwing — Mannequin throws its trident at enemies with a 15-tick charge-up, then waits for it to return (or times out after 80 ticks).
• Crossbow Firework Shots — Mannequin can load and fire firework rockets from a crossbow in addition to arrows.
• Arrow Pickup — Mannequin picks up nearby arrows from the ground (within 2.5 blocks) and stores them in its inventory.

Vanilla Feel Improvements

• Auto Sprint — Mannequin sprints when more than 5 blocks from the player.
• Proper Swimming — Mannequin stays afloat and surfaces when idle in water instead of sinking.
• Reactive Shield — Mannequin raises its shield immediately when hit, lowers it after 60 ticks.
• Torch Placement — Mannequin places torches in dark areas (block light < 7) if it has one available.
• Idle Gaze — Mannequin looks at the player when idle

Localization

• Synced es_es.json with en_us.json — added all missing Spanish translations for farming, tree cutting, specials menu, custom spawn, item names, and item group.
