NPCStepCommand

Package: com.hypixel.hytale.server.npc.commands

public class NPCStepCommand extends AbstractWorldCommand

Implements /npc step. Advances NPC behavior by a single tick for debugging purposes. The NPC is frozen (via the Frozen component) and a StepComponent is added with the specified delta time. The StepCleanupSystem removes the StepComponent after processing.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Required	Default	Description
--all	flag	no	—	Step all NPCs in the world
entity	entity ID	no	—	Target NPC (defaults to player’s look-target)
dt	Float	no	1.0 / world.getTps()	Delta time for the step (must be > 0)

Behavior

• --all mode: Iterates all entities with NPCEntity in parallel, adding Frozen and StepComponent to each.
• Single target mode: Resolves the target NPC (via entity argument or player look-target), adds Frozen and StepComponent.
