Does Minecraft 1.16 JAVA Edition have the NPC?
There are no NPCs in Minecraft overall. Do you mean Minecraft Dungeons or Storymode?
You can only add such NPCs with mods or datapacks, but this is not recommended if you don't have a good PC…
No, there's not. You don't need it either.
In Minecraft everything is full of NPCs. NPC stands for Non Player Character. So all mobs that are not players.
If you can't try it in bedrock there's a try with / summon Npc so that it should spawn itself then you can change its skin and what it says
Of course, it always depends on what exactly you mean by NPC. You mean "the" NPCs from the Minecraft Bedrock version. There's no such thing in Minecraft Java. Whereby NPC stands for non-player characters and thus means all characters (monsters, animals, villagers, …) who are not players.

But: pigs, zombies…
Edit: I've tried it because I've been playing Bedrock a bit more recently, so the mob is only available in Bedrock where it can be spawned with / summon Npc. Java unfortunately not
You're right. When I wrote that I thought of NPC as a character with interaction, which is of course wrong.
I know. Unfortunately I made a mistake about the definition of NPC.
Gladly, ned bad everyone makes mistakes
