While we highly encourage users to use MythicMobs instead of Citizens 2, this section will walk you through using Model Engine with Citizens.
Why use MythicMobs instead of Citizens 2
We are in no position to judge Citizens 2's code quality, and in no way trying to frame Citizens 2 as a bad plugin. Comparing MythicMobs to Citizens is like comparing fruits to oranges. MythicMobs simply provides all features Citizens 2 has due to its nature, and we understand that MythicMobs might seem like bloat to some users who are only trying to create NPCs. However, here is a list of reasons why we believe users should favor MythicMobs over Citizens 2.
- Model Engine is tailored to work with MythicMobs, hence its compatibility implementation is very stable
- MythicMobs provides much more freedom and control over your NPCs and models
- Basically all things you can do in Citizens 2 can be done in MythicMobs
- Citizens 2 has many weird implementation of certain features that conflicts with Model Engine
- While Model Engine can compensate, the results are usually suboptimal
- 90% of development time towards Citizens 2 support boils down to figuring out conflicts between plugins
- While this can be attributed to Ticxo's incompetence, many developers share the same feelings toward Citizens 2
