MineColonies is an interactive building mod that allows you to create your own thriving town within Minecraft. It lets your leadership skills soar by providing you with everything you need to build your kingdom. MineColonies gives you the flexibility to create a colony as unique as every player. With more than 10.000 schematics, you’ll create a different colony every time, adapt to any biome, build inside a mountain, on top of one, under the ocean, or in the sky.
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 aswell as countless decorations from Walls over Parks to fountains.
MineColonies is a free and open-source mod developed by Let’s Dev Together (LDT), a developer 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!
Note: We’ll usually recommend getting the latest available version to have all the fixes.
