How to Change the Appearance of the NPC in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to change the appearance of the NPC (Non Player Character) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft Education Edition, the NPC will be wearing an orange short-sleeved shirt. Let's explore how to change the look of the NPC by selecting a different skin.
Steps to Change the Appearance of the NPC
1. Open the Non Player Character Menu
In this tutorial, we have spawned the NPC that is named "Mr. Smith". Now we want to change the look of the NPC from the default skin.
To change the skin of the NPC, you will first need to open the Non Player Character menu. To open this menu, you will need right-click on the NPC (and have World Builder permissions).
TIP: To change the appearance of the NPC, you must have World Builder permissions.
How to give yourself Word Builder Permissions
You can use the /wb command to quickly toggle your world builder status between false and true:
/wb
Or you can use the /ability command to set your world builder status to true:
/ability @p worldbuilder true
This is the what the Non Player Character menu looks like:
As you can see, by default, the first skin under the Appearance setting has been selected. This is the character that is wearing an orange short-sleeved shirt.
2. Change the Skin
To change the appearance of the NPC, left-click on the new skin that you would like to select. You can use the right and left arrow buttons to move between each group of skins. Also, if you hover over a skin, it will begin to rotate so that you can see the front and back.
In this example, we've selected a gray-robed NPC with glasses. Once you have selected your preferred skin, you can close the Non Player Character menu.
3. Appearance of the NPC will be changed
Now, when you return to the game, the NPC will be wearing the new skin and its appearance will have changed.
Congratulations, you just learned how to change the skin of the NPC in Minecraft.
