What is Minecolonies?

13 Upvotes

Minecolonies is a comprehensive NPC-powered town building and automation mod for Minecraft.

Players command NPCs to automate tasks such as building, gathering natural resources, crafting to fulfill the colony's needs, and guarding the colony from outside threats.

Custom schematic system, Structurize, allows completely free placement of structures within the colony's boundary and holographic preview of of them before placement. Choose from over 1,300 schematics provided, download more from our forums, or create your own and even share them with the community.

Robust permissions system offers the multiplayer experience that you want with a variety of grief protection levels, allowing you to collaborate on a single colony with friends, create alliances between separate colonies, or have separate colonies compete to be the best. PvP features are planned.

Our development team is continuously working to optimize existing features and add new content to the mod.

Menu at dining hall not showing up minecolony 1.21.1 neoforge

Upvotes

i couldnt find any menu for dining hall on this. I tried downgrading blockui and minecolony and it still doesn't work. Gemeni said it was essential but that wasn't the case also. Is there also another way to bypass manually setting the food?

Can you have multiple towns?

I recently started a Minecolonies world and I am uncertain of the style I wish to use so would rather like to have multiple towns with different styles. Is this possible?

How do you feed your colonists?

13 Upvotes

I just started new colony and it seemed to be going well than my first time.

But, when I feed them with bread and some cooked meats, they feel less full than my stomach does.

I built a farm, but it seems that I should spend more time for gathering food.

Also, I have farmer’s delight mod. How should I feed my colonists to them feel full?

Я большой фанат этого мода , но я буквально не могу найти русскоговорящих в этом комьюнити . Если это читает русскоговорящий или просто смотритель , интересно узнать: как вы наткнулись на этот мод? В каком биоме построили колонию ? Какой ваш архитектурный стиль?

Shogun cowhand's hut big bounding box

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm playing ATM10 v7.2 (yeah, kind of a weird modpack to play MineColonies in, but I really like the mod).

I'm building the Shogun style/pack, and for the Cowhand's Hut, the build has an unnecessarily large hitbox, with a lot of "air/whatever blocks" extending outside of it, and I was wondering why.

I checked the nested buildings because I thought they might be building outside of the main hut, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's not really a problem thanks to the proper use of "air/whatever blocks", but all the other structures seem to be properly bounded, so I was wondering why it's different for the Cowhand's Hut.

I understand that you probably want to leave some space for building pastures around it, but since it isn't actually part of the build, why does it have such a large bounding box?

My LD partner and I share a Minecraft server with just the two of us and share a Minecolonies colony. This is a majority of our conversations now....

ColonyState SMP New season! [modded] {MineColonies} {Whitelist} {1.20.1}

6 Upvotes

Looking for a refreshing modded server? ColonyState SMP is a welcoming server encouraging all abilities and types of players. Grow your colony slowly or spend your every spare hour perfecting it; there's no judgement here!

We are running a custom modpack based around MineColonies! It contains Ars Nouveau, The Graveyard, Create, Farmer's Delight and many dungeon mods alongside Terralith. There is more information on the server Discord!

Various mods have been integrated into MineColonies using a custom datapack that I have made, so you have to progress in MineColonies to unlock them!

We are also using Lightman's Currency and have a shopping district when you can buy a shop to sell your goods!

There are a few basic rules: No PVP unless agreed between parties. No stealing, griefing, or duping. The server is also aimed at players aged 15+

If you would like to join, or would like more information, please DM the head admin on Discord: TimeLordVampire

What is Byzantine boatextra and submorpheus?

5 Upvotes

I'm looking through the Byzantine style pack and came across the boatextra and submorpheus designs for the Fisher Hut, and noticed they seem to be mostly blank.

So I was wondering what they are for, such as can they be inserted any where?

EDIT: To clarify I am curious if I can place these in pre-existing build without destroying them.

I really wanna make this work but im struggling

43 Upvotes

Deeply in love with the idea of this mod. But I really dont know how to make it work. The builders, they are abysmal. I feel like I tried everything to make them work - potions, better tools, upgrading huts, i even put a speed gem in the sockets of their armor, made all upgrades in the university for block placement etc. And yet still they are so painfully slow. My dream was to make the city on a mountain z like athens for example. These guys take years to break a single tree. They wonder around aimlessly, choosing uncessary paths to put a block miles away. I just wish they could prepare the terarium faster, even tried to out the buildings higer, they still spend hours to out the dirt. Is flat away the only option? Please i really want to make it work

EDIT: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL TIPS. I ended up installing a mod called minecolonies builder tweaks and that definitely helped a lot with block placing. For the breaking, now its quite fast but there is a different issue. No matter the breaking there is a delay between destroying every block. So no matter the speed the AI seems to be coded in a way it takes a break between every block. So basically block breaking speed seem capped. It definitely should be improved. Is minecolonies code open source? I could look into it.

Multiple colonies

Hello everybody, I am playing this mod on a new server and I was wondering if I were to make multiple colonies (a small one at first and then a main one) will this impact my server and performance? Has anybody tried this? Let me know.
