Hello everyone!

I'm a developer currently planning a Minecraft mod (name not decided yet) focused on making singleplayer worlds feel more active and interesting.

The idea is to add more reasons to explore and make the world feel like something is happening beyond the player.

Planned features:

- New structures

- New mobs

- New ores, armor, and items

- Custom biomes (including skylands)

- Civilizations with different styles and cultures

- Better visuals for new environments

The main thing I want to experiment with is a living NPC system.

Instead of having every NPC behave the same, there would be different types:

Basic NPCs

- Similar to normal Minecraft NPCs

- Civilizations

- Groups with their own identity, building styles, and behaviors, run on a script

Smart NPCs

- A limited chosen number (like 30) of characters that survive more like players

- They gather resources, make plans, set goals, and adapt to the world

- They won't use LLM AI, but a custom decision-making system

The goal is not to replace the player. It's to make the world feel less empty and more like a living place.

So the main question:

**Would you play a Minecraft mod where you can discover civilizations, meet unique characters, and feel like the world exists even when you're not around?**

I would love to hear your thoughts:

- Would this make you interested in playing singleplayer again?

- What features would you want to see?

- What would make the world feel truly alive for you?
