[Forge] Dochi`s RPG Maker

Dochi's RPG Maker

Dochi's RPG Maker (DRM) is an in-game, server-authoritative RPG creation toolkit for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 and CustomNPCs. It lets creators build and operate dialogue, quests, shops, currencies, stats, database items, HUDs, teleporters, factions, popups, and NPC presentation without maintaining a separate client-side editor.

DRM stores creator-owned content as JSON under config/dochi_rpg_maker, provides in-game editors for that data, and synchronizes the runtime data players need from the server.

Main features

Dialogue and NPC flows

• Node-based Dialogue Editor with choices, conditions, actions, rewards, commands, rich text, NPC binding, and editable runtime GUI layouts.
• Shared flow actions for shops, teleporters, stat allocation, tags, items, faction score, advancements, and supported add-on actions.
• NPC Apply workflow for binding dialogue, shops, teleporters, presentation, models, and related data to CustomNPCs NPCs.

Quest Editor and Journal

• Quest packs, chapters, dependencies, visibility, repeat rules, manual/automatic completion, and turn-in modes.
• Location, item, kill, dialogue-signal, and faction-score objectives with nested All, Any, Sequence, and required-count groups.
• Item, XP, DRM currency, and command rewards.
• One-shot After Complete actions that run only after successful reward delivery.
• Editable Quest Journal GUI, opened with U by default.

Stats and database items

• Stat Builder with custom stats, point limits, costs, vanilla/modded attribute effects, and editable allocation GUI.
• Player stat screen opened with Y by default, with per-stat-set keybind access control.
• Item Editor for DRM database weapons, tools, armor, consumables, and generic items.
• Custom categories, rarities, lore, tooltip formatting, stat requirements, equipped bonuses, attributes, durability, and stat scaling.
• Requirements do not block equipment. The creator chooses how much performance is lost while requirements are unmet.

Shops and currency

• NPC Shop Editor with buy/sell entries, stock, payment, conditions, and NPC/file-based workflows.
• Currency Editor with balances, pickup conversion, death behavior, HUD presentation, and physical currency items.

GUI Maker, HUD Maker, and Popup Maker

• Editable GUI layouts for dialogue, shops, Remnant Message, faction, teleporter, quest journal, stat allocation, and popups.
• HUD components for vanilla health/food/armor/air/XP, currencies, Iron's Spells mana, Combat Roll stamina, and CustomNPCs tempdata/storeddata.
• Independent vanilla/mod HUD visibility guides, anchors, groups, text, bars, images, icon lists, conditions, and animations.
• Popup definitions with channels, priority, conflict policies, fade/hold timing, styled text, and sound.

Teleporters, factions, and administration

• Teleporter Sets with categories, destinations, availability conditions, commands, sounds, fades, and NPC binding.
• Faction presentation and runtime views backed by CustomNPCs faction points.
• Operator administration for DRM quests, optional FTB Quests data, advancements, CustomNPCs factions, and stored data.

NPC models, animation, and scripts

• GeckoLib/modded-entity model and animation workflows with behavior bindings for idle, walk, sprint, attack, hurt, and death.
• Safe server asset catalog for custom PNG textures, including valid companion .png.mcmeta animation metadata.
• CustomNPCs scripting APIs for animation, hitboxes, built-in attacks, cross-mod skills, potion-effect queries, and popups.

Requirements

• CustomNPCs 1.20.1 or newer — required on client and server

Install the same DRM version on the server and every connecting client.

Getting started

1. Install DRM and CustomNPCs in the Forge 1.20.1 instance.
2. Start the server/world once to create config/dochi_rpg_maker.
3. In creative mode, obtain the Dochi RPG Maker Core item.
4. Right-click air to open the editor selector, or right-click a CustomNPCs NPC for the target-aware apply screen.

Data and multiplayer model

• The server owns authoring data, validates edit requests, and sends runtime snapshots to clients.
• Paths are normalized and restricted to DRM's config roots.
• Default/sample files are templates; save production variants under new names.
• Back up config/dochi_rpg_maker before upgrading or making large content changes.
