DecsNPCs

I spent about 2 months searching for all of the relevant information to put together my own NPCs. I wasn't that into the idea of using an external API like Citizens because that doesn't teach me anything. So I made DecsNPCs, a lightweight and easy to understand NPC api with some simple features.

You should really use Citizens if you need to do any hardcore NPC work like making them walk around and attack players or entities. While not impossible for an amateur coder like me to find and put together all of the relevant stuff to do what they do, I would feel much more comfortable myself using something that has been proven and used in all of the big servers. If it makes you feel any better about not being able to avoid Citizens then you should know that Hypixel uses Citizens (really, just login and type /citizens).

Thanks in advance for considering to use this. This is the first project I think is worthy of public release after only 4 months of Java coding experience. Helpful criticsm and suggestions will be much appreciated.
