Colony Limitation | Minecolonies Addon
A lightweight MineColonies addon that adds a configurable server-wide colony limit.
About this Mod
This addon for MineColonies allows server owners to set a maximum number of colonies that can exist on a server.
Its main purpose is to help with server balance, performance, and administration, especially on multiplayer servers where uncontrolled colony creation can become a problem.
By default, this addon can be used to limit how many colonies players are allowed to create or maintain within the world, making colony management more fair and organized for everyone.
It is also designed to work alongside situations where players may use debug or testing tools that remove the normal colony creation restrictions, such as infinite colony placement per player.
This addon ensures that, even in those cases, the server can still enforce a global colony limit.
Lightweight and easy to configure, it is mainly intended for survival servers, community SMPs, public servers, and custom MineColonies setups.
