FAQ
How do I use NPC Studio?
Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3lGA7y5b9oThe NPC Wand isn't working. How do I fix it?
Hold "alt" to bring up the axiom options menu, and ensure the "Tinker" option on the left of the menu is disabled. If that doesn't fix it, please join the MDH Discord: https://discord.gg/uE7gFcZ7QBCan I use this modpack to make commercial thumbnails?
Yes — commercial use is allowed. You can create and monetize thumbnails, videos, streams, and artwork made using this modpack. However, you may not reupload or redistribute the modpack by another name.How does this compare to software like Blender or Blockbench?
Blender is more powerful, but it comes with a steep learning curve and slow workflow for quick scene iteration. This modpack is optimized for speed and thumbnail-ready composition directly in Minecraft, then finished in Photoshop. Furthermore, nearly every prominent thumbnail artist uses some variation of this workflow. If that isn't enough proof, take a look at the gallery for thumbnails I've made using only this modpack and Photoshop.I'm having issues with NPC Studio. Where do I get help?
NPC Mod's Discord: https://discord.gg/uE7gFcZ7QBI'm having issues with the modpack in general. Where do I get help?

BBS Mod This is BBS Mod's "Model Block" feature, which allows you to import Blockbench models directly in-game. -
NPC Mod This is NPC Mod's menu, allowing you to edit the character's rotation, skin, model, pose, and inventory. -
Scene Example This scene combines multiple in-game screenshots captured using this modpack: the foreground character setup and a long-distance terrain render for the background. Final adjustments were done in Photoshop for composition and color. -
Portal Environment & Scenery Example The character was posed with NPC Mod, and the portal environments were created using Blooming Biosphere and Bobby to load distant structure silhouettes. Shadows and lighting were refined in Photoshop for dramatic contrast. -
Crowd/Stress-test Example NPC Mod’s stamp feature was used to quickly populate a large crowd with consistent posing. Minor Photoshop cleanup and lighting adjustments were applied to unify the scene. -
Depth + NPC Workflow Example NPCs were posed in-game using NPC Mod, and atmospheric depth was created using Depth Map Shader (DMS). Photoshop was used for haze, bloom, and UI elements. -
BBS Example Custom models were imported and posed in-game using BBS Mod, allowing accurate perspective matching and natural interaction between characters. Photoshop was used for glow and color grading.
