NPC

• It will also he will help you attack any monsters in the area and will follow you if you hold a diamond. Right-clicking the NPC with a gold lump will make him drop steel tools or food, right-clicking with an empty hand orders the NPC to stay or follow if owned.

Trader

• Traders are new and still being tested but can be placed into the world using a spawn egg. Right-clicking on a trader opens his shop and allows you to buy his wares inside.

• If provoked a trader will attack a player or monster. Note: self.npc_drops and self.igor_drops are used for random item list when trading for gold and may be changed within the mob itself, if not found the global mobs.npc_drops and mobs.igor_drops are used instead for a default list.
