This tutorial will show you how to create player NPCs and add them into your world. These player NPCs will take vanilla player skins, and come included with walk-animations, attack animations, etc.
This tutorial is a _graphical_ tutorial. Mechanics are not covered.
:::warning
This will be a very json-heavy document. The json is intended for copy-pasting.

## Geometry File
This json contains geometry for both the Steve and Alex versions:

## Entity File
Use this entity file if you would like to have animations for your geometry. This file includes error-free animations for:
- walking
- looking at player
- idle
If you need a more complete set of animations, consider copying the default player RP-entity file, and trying to work with the animations by hand.
