This is my take on NPCs for minecraft with TACZ weapons (But they can still do everything else if you don't let them have guns. If you want to do that for some reason.) Based on the code of the original TACZ Npcs mod, this is not the same thing, but a complete and different overhaul of it.

Every NPC now has a life besides the moment it is rendered on screen. Npcs can find loot, talk with each other, complete their own objectives, trade with you based on what they currently have in inventory, sit by campfires and much more.

Every NPC has precision based on their experience and other factors. No aimbot or instant reflexes.

Reputation system

You have a reputation with every faction, that can change based on what you do to help or hurt npcs of that faction. You also have personal reputation with EVERY NPC you interact with. This is a meter of how much this npc likes or hates you, and is specific to that one guy.

Follower system

Did you want to make an army of juggernaut npcs with miniguns? YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN! Do you just want to have a pal you can rely on to defend you? You also can!

Customization

EVERYTHING in the mod is CUSTOMIZABLE via config json files, with the possibility of customization exclusive for each faction also. And there is an extensive wiki in the github with details about everything if you ever get lost. You can even change how npcs shoot specific guns, to override the default burst fire they do, so they can spray a minigun just like they should.

Also, the mod makes so campfires do extinguish after some time, as to make so you don't have infinite active campfires everywhere when npcs create one. And npcs just light up a extinguished campfire again if they feel like doing so. But this could break farms, so, letting you know. As always, this can be changed in the config with a single true changed to false.
