Lifecycle and Storage

Understand NPC loading, saving, and chunk lifecycle behavior.

reviewThis page is not verified against ModelEngineNPC v2.0.1.

NPC definitions persist in YAML storage and load during plugin startup. The repository owns persistence; avoid editing files while server is running.

The current configuration exposes an auto-save interval and an option to despawn NPCs when chunks unload. Stop server before backups or manual edits. Restart cleanly after changes, then verify NPC list and spawn state.
