Colonization can be problematic

            Hi guys!

            Lately I play a lot of Minecraft. Not normal Minecraft, but I want to try many different escape maps, puzzles, parcours... Of course I also tried many mods and I want to tell you about one particular mod I really love and I want it to be more useful for me in the future.

            Mod I mentioned is called “Minecolonies” and it give us possibilities to create our own colony. You can say “Hey, but we have villages in Minecraft, so what does it changes?” Well, I will tell you. First of all, villages in vanilla Minecraft villages and their residents are not as useful as you think. Yes, we can stay in villagers houses at night and yes, we can take some food from their farms. We can even trade with them to get some items. But that is all! 

            In “Minecolonies” things work different. We can start our adventure in this mod by making “Supply Ship” or “Supply Camp” which will give us materials and tools for our colony and also our first building – Town Hall. Yes, you have read that right, in that mod we can craft our buildings. When we find good place to start we just put our Town Hall on the ground and choose style of colony. Almost every single building have different styles, starting with just ordinary wooden or stone, to such as star wars style. Then we just craft building for builder and after that the fun part can really begins.

            In our colony we can have many residents and all of them can have job that will help us in our journey. We, or maybe I should say our builder, will make many buildings. We can have swineheard’s hut, where our pigs will be breed, raised and then killed for food or forester hut, where the wood is collected. On the other hand we can build blacksmith hut and there one of our citizens will make for us tools, swords and armors, if we teach him/her recipes. We can’t forget about protection. Colony can be raided by barbarians and our duty is to kill them. At least until we hire some knights and archers. 

 

            I found only one minus, at least for me. I don’t like collecting resources and some buildings, especially on higher levels, need many different blocks, even from the End. Even one of the colony style is maked mostly from the Nether blocks (getting over 2000 nethertack or Warped Stem? No, thank you). Rest of that mod is pretty good and really helpful, if we don’t like mining, farming or collecting enchanted books and want to “automate” that processes.

            Now I’m going to make no colonies, but don’t worry, we will meet soon. But for now…

            Sayonara and until next time!
