Create a Colony - MineColonies / Create / MCA

Create a Colony combines MineColonies, Create, and Minecraft Comes Alive around building and managing a self-sufficient village, with colonists, villagers, trade, and machinery forming the core experience. Colonists build and mine much faster than usual, work through rain, and can be sped up further with tiered paths and beacon effects; miners also find more ores, including somewhat more rare ores and less coal. Villagers are reworked through Minecraft Comes Alive, and expanding the village and interacting with its residents brings useful perks, additional trades for vanilla jobs, and new roles such as Horticulturist and Oceanographer. Create contraptions support production chains, with machinery rebalanced for the pack, while colonist work and trading let a village supply useful resources without requiring trips beyond its borders. The world changes with the seasons, and flowers and grass grow, animals eat, and buildings weather as metal rusts and bricks moss over or crack; weathering does not hinder MineColonies buildings, and materials can be repaired or reprocessed by colonist jobs. Longer days give colonists more working time, while shorter nights bring more enemies; enemies also investigate sounds and lights when players venture beyond the village, and peaceful play still includes hunger. Food variety matters: a nutrition tracker rewards balanced eating with bonuses, and the pack adds cooking and dishes to explore, while making extra hearts from Spice of Life harder to gain.
