Not sure what you trying to do. Might be better to give us some more detail about what you are trying to accomplish. What is your long term goal?
I'm making some structures with Recurrent Complex for a modpack. They contain CustomNPCs, which have custom dialogues and quests. Now, customNPCs dialogue, quests, factions and stuff are saved inside the save folder, but the modpack isn't based on a custom map, but on randomly generated structures found in the world. So, on nromally generated maps. New saves, though, have the default customnpcs folder, without my dialogue and quests.
My goal would be to have, anyhow, the customnpcs folder in every new save already containing the various custom quests and dialogue files, without the user needing to go into the minecraft folder to run a bat file that does this (copies my custom customnpcs folder into each save), but instead running that bat each time a world is created.
I already have the .bat file, I only need a way to run it each time a save is created. If there is a way to do so without a bat file (I haven't found any scripting mod that can modify files though), it'd be good too.
On a server this would be easy. Just add it to the batch/cmd file used to launch the server. On single player I'm not sure how you could do this unless someone has written a mod. Also, how do you handle adding this stuff as the player travels and generates new terrain? Can you just re-run the batch file?
There is a mod that lets users start with pre-generated world each time they make a new world. Maybe you can have this mod use a safe file that only consists of your scripts so the rest of the world gets normally generated?
I forgot the name of this mod though
The npc that gets generated only contains the filepath to the dialogue/quest (relative to the customnpc folder), so I only need to copy it once per save.

The mod is Lockdown, and I already tried, it crashes if I only put the customnpcs folder in the template.
Maybe that is because certain files are needed before a folder is seen as a world?
I believe the most important one is level.dat unfortunately this is also the file that holds the seed.
Could you test if you can have it working with just the level.dat file and the scripts? if that works it might be able to edit the level.dat file so it will generate a random seed at world creation.
but it loads with only that + the scripts?
If that is indeed the case you might be able to remove the seed from the level.dat my guess is that it then will generate a new seed before generating the terrain
