NPC Studio Guide

FAQ

How do I use NPC Studio? Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3lGA7y5b9o
The 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. There may be other Axiom features in that menu that could also impact the NPC Studio tools. If that doesn't fix it, please join the MDH Discord: https://discord.gg/uE7gFcZ7QB
Can I use this modpack to make commercial thumbnails? Yes, commercial use is allowed. 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 can be overkill for some Minecraft thumbnails. This modpack is optimized for speed and thumbnail-ready compositions directly in Minecraft, then finished in Photoshop. Furthermore, nearly every prominent thumbnail artist uses some variation of this workflow.
I'm having issues with NPC Studio. Where do I get help? NPC Mod's Discord: https://discord.gg/uE7gFcZ7QB
I'm having issues with the modpack in general. Where do I get help? For troubleshooting or setup questions, please join the Thumbnailers Discord (https://discord.gg/TTC7Uvm2N8), or DM @mangofx.
Where can I get feedback on my designs? Feel free to join Thumbnailers, the biggest Minecraft thumbnail design community: https://discord.gg/TTC7Uvm2N8

Disclaimer: I don't own any mods provided in this pack. All credit goes to the original mod developers. I simply compiled these mods into one unified modpack for ease of use.
