Hey there,
Today I want to tell you about a project I am very passionate about. Together with a huge team I am developing a MineCraft modification called Minecolonies. My teammate Ray will tell you what this mod is all about:
Minecolonies is a multiplayer modification for the popular game Minecraft.
With the help of Minecolonies you can build a flourishing town, city or metropolis in your minecraft world. For this purpose Minecolonies adds a number of blocks, entities and items to the game.
You are able to create a colony in your single or multiplayer world or even on a server. Colonies can be shared and permissions for each of the participants are easily adapted.
Currently Minecolonies already supports a wide range of workers, including:
And there are even more workers planned:
Additionally, minecolonies adds its own anti-griefing mechanisms which allows the player to claim a certain area (size depends on config file) where other players are not allowed to interact.
Therefore, the only thing the player has to be afraid about will be mobs and babarians.
Yeah you heard right, babarians. Minecolonies also adds its own species of hostile mobs which will haunt your colony and will want to kill your citizens. So beware and build your towers and walls to be protected against those intruders.
And again, our plans go far here, we're planning on mobs like Ratmen (thieves) Pirates (by ship) and more in order to disturb your peaceful colony. Nevertheless, we know that there are players which enjoy a peacful or even more challenging experience and that's why the attack strength as well as the frequency are fully configurable for each world.
But, minecolonies also tries to offer a as varied experience as possible so you can rebuild a new colony various time with a slightly different experience, Therefore, we added a lot of different colonies styles to the pack for different biomes like:
But wait, there is even more content: Minecolonies allows the player or server owner to add his/her own styles, for that purpose in our community, several projects have been founded in order to create varied styles for different biomes like:
And since that isn't enough, people worked hard to create colony styles which would fit on the moon or in a skyblock experience.
Joining minecolonies also means joining a huge community of players on a wide selection of servers which have different focus points.
Several famous youtubers already feature minecolonies in their videos like:
On Patreon we raise money to pay high performance servers to offer a official dedicated minecolonies servers for everyone:

This server has been up for quite some time already and been the home of over 2000 colonies overall!
But, our plans don't end here quite yet, we're planning additional features like colony warfare, an own inter colony trading system. More blocks, items, custom weapons, armour, more colonist interaction, more mod compatabilitis.
But for all that we also need coders, we're already a great team of 5-6 members but since we can't make a living out of this our time is restricted.
Why don't you give it a try?
Ray - Minecolonies developer
Ray is working really hard to improve this mod but he needs to eat. So all the rewards from this post will be sent to him so he can continue to improve the mod.
If you like this, please tell me. We have a lot to talk about and I want to give all team members the opportunity to present our mod and get appreciation from the steem community.
