MCA x Minecolonies Integration

🏛️ MCA x MineColonies Integration Bridge

Bring your colony to life with humanoid models, genetics, relationships, and expressive dialogue without sacrificing any MineColonies worker AI! MCA x MineColonies Integration Bridge is a compatibility mod designed for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge) that connects MineColonies and MCA Reborn (Minecraft Comes Alive) into one unified experience.

Instead of having two completely separate villager systems, this bridge merges their strengths: MineColonies handles all colony management, worker jobs, pathfinding, and town growth, while MCA Reborn brings beautiful 3D humanoid models, genetic heredity, life stages, interactive dialogue trees, and balanced gifting mechanics.

✨ Key Features

👤 1. Realistic Humanoid Models & Genetics

• Player-like 3D Models: Replaces vanilla villager models with MCA’s Steve (4px standard) and Alex (3px slim) humanoid geometry.
• Full Genetics Engine: Citizens feature unique genetic combinations including multi-layered hair (RGB-colorable), heterochromia (dual eye colors), and realistic skin tones.
• Profession Uniforms: MineColonies worker clothing and guard armor dynamically adapt to humanoid body models based on gender and life stage.
• Styling Tools Support: Use MCA styling shears, combs, needle & thread, and dyes to customize any citizen's appearance.

👶 2. Mobile Life Stages (Toddler ➔ Child ➔ Teen ➔ Adult)

• Active Child AI Maintained: Unlike vanilla MCA where babies are swaddled in cribs, MineColonies children actively walk around town, eat at restaurants, sleep in beds, and attend school. The bridge implements an Active Walking Toddler model with cute proportions and walking animations.
• Dynamic Hitboxes: Citizen collision boxes and eye heights scale smoothly across all 4 life stages.
• Growth Acceleration: Feed children Cakes, Apples, or Cookies to accelerate their growth into productive adult citizens.
• Worker Graduation: Citizens automatically transition into the available adult worker pool upon maturing.

💬 3. Integrated Dialogue & Social System

• 💬 Talk Button: Adds a dedicated dialogue button directly inside the MineColonies citizen interaction GUI, seamlessly opening the MCA conversation screen.
• Personality & Mood: Talk, joke, or flirt with citizens based on their individual MCA personality traits.
• Fatigue Mechanics: Prevents conversation spamming — exhausted citizens politely decline chatter until they've had rest.
• Quick Dismiss: Easily dismiss dialogue speech bubbles with a simple left-click anywhere on screen.

🎁 4. Balanced Gifting & Economy

• Item Scoring: Citizens intelligently assess gifts (weapon damage, armor defense, tool efficiency, and food nutrition).
• Diminishing Returns: MCA's anti-spam saturation ensures citizens won't accept repetitive gifts, protecting your resources.
• Inventory Synchronization: Accepted gifts are transferred straight into the citizen's MineColonies inventory.

🍺 5. Tavern & Recruitment Compatibility

• Inspect Stats Before Hiring: Keep the native "Show citizen stats" button inside visitor recruitment dialogs to examine worker skills and traits before spending recruit items.

* Safe Window Navigation: Resolves UI conflicts when interacting with Tavern guests and recruiting newcomers.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I add this mod to an existing colony save?
A: Yes! Existing citizens will automatically adopt MCA models and generate genetics the next time their chunk loads. Q: Do citizens still do their jobs, build, and defend?
A: Yes, 100%! All MineColonies worker AI, pathfinding, building, farming, mining, and guard behaviors remain fully intact. Q: Does it require any other addon mods?
A: No. This bridge is completely modular and standalone.
