MineColonies Extended
This is an extended version of the 'MineColonies' mod that improves the base modpack.
About this Modpack
Mine Colonies + is a modpack built around the MineColonies experience, expanding it with Create and a selection of complementary mods to deepen automation, progression, and overall gameplay. The core mod is already highly engaging, so support for its creators is strongly encouraged.
This pack includes a curated set of mods that improve quality of life, enhance building and resource systems, and integrate mechanical automation through Create, making colony management more dynamic and scalable. It also bundles all required dependencies for MineColonies, along with useful add-ons to extend functionality and improve stability.
Mine Colonies + is designed as a streamlined, enhanced version of the base experience—keeping the original vision intact while adding systems that make the game feel richer and more complete.
