Description

Modpack is continuation of my previous pack Life in the village but for newer versions of Minecraft.
Why do I recommend BisectHosting? Simple: they deliver on performance, reliability, and support. It’s the peace of mind I need to focus on creating great content, knowing my servers are in good hands.
If you're looking for that same confidence, use my code xdreamz for 25% off your first month! Click on the picture above, select plan(at least 5GB) and enjoy playing with your friends!
Description:
This pack is based around town-building mod - Minecolonies and it can be casual or challenging as you want it to be. Build your own thriving town, impregnable fortress, nordic settlement or even small fishing village. On other hand it's so called Vanilla+ modpack that will enhance your 'close-to-vanilla' gameplay and add some new features(like new NPCs that will work for you, new terrain features, mineshafts, decorations(see features list for details)) to explore and interact with, so you wont be overwhelmed with a lot of new and unusual stuff.
Minecolonies will allow you to create your own colony where citizens will obey your will. Mainly, they will build, gather resources, upgrade their buildings and all of that under your control. You will plan and command their moves.
Features:
While maintaining vanilla minecraft gameplay this modpack still offers variety of new features to explore:

With very simple planning tool you can preview and plan every building, roads and decorations before your citizens will build it.
