FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Please help me I just know only how to make blocks and tools

No, just kidding. Creating NPCs is very hard... Do you really want to do this? Even I never did that before!

Yes and serious

You can study other mods using npc's. Change little pieces of code and animations, look at the results and learn. If you get a npc working you must also consider learning how to make 3d models (2d is less popular now) or at least learn how to implement them if others are willing to make them for you.

Some of the mods are more known than other. Maybe this one (celeron55's mobs (2d)) helps you to start with.

Good luck!

Btw, this is the wrong forum section. You should have posted this in "Modding General"

And how do I draw it

It's pretty hard but you could always take Mob Frameworks zombie or NPC trader, recode it and retexture it. That could work too

MS Paint.

*sigh*

Use skincraft for your skinning needs. Stu has released the NPC Framework - see it here - which makes creating NPCs much much easier! Go check out his code. There's an API to easily add new NPCs. :-)
