MineColonies is an interactive town-building mod that allows you to create your own thriving colony within Minecraft. With 50+ buildings in over 20 styles to construct and level up and NPC workers to employ and improve, MineColonies gives you the flexibility to create a unique colony every time. Adapt to any biome, whether on a mountain, under the ground, or in the Nether.
The limit is your imagination!
MineColonies features NPC workers such as Builders, Farmers, Fishers, Foresters, Guards, Miners, Smelters, Bakers, Cooks, Couriers, five types of animal herders, Composters, and many more, with even more being developed and added as the mod grows.
It also includes specialized buildings such as the Warehouse, House, Town Hall, Barracks, Library, University, and even the School.
You have full control of how to build your town. You determine how many workers you want or need, what type of workers, where they will live, and hire or fire as you see fit, expanding at your own pace. It is your colony to design and develop; you are the designer, administrator, and boss.
Your colony deserves the best security you can have. Strategically add Guard Towers or Barracks Towers so Guards will protect your city from hostile mobs and new types of raiders that will attack on random nights.
Your citizens need to be fed well. Keep a Farmer or an animal herder to supply the Baker and the Cook so no one goes hungry. Make sure to hire Couriers to take food (and other materials) from place to place.
MineColonies has a very powerful multiplayer system. The permission system allows for collaborative team play in multiplayer where you can assign different roles in a colony such as Officer, Friend, Neutral, and Hostile! You can also have competing colonies at the same time, all with a strong protection system for server management and anti-griefing. Fun for all!
MineColonies is a free and open source mod developed by Let's Dev Together (LDT), a non-profit community. The source code is available on GitHub. Our developers are a hard-working, well-integrated coding team, continuously adding more content to make the MineColonies experience even greater. However, we are always looking for more people to contribute to the mod, whether as a coder, builder, artist, voice actor, wiki editor, tester, or simply supporting us on Patreon!
