MCA: Crime

[0.7.0] — September 11, 2026

Added

• Family loyalty: Relatives may keep your crimes to themselves, depending on your relationship, their personality, and the seriousness of the crime.
• Family accomplices and bail: Ask relatives to act as lookouts, create distractions, or help you escape guards. They can be caught and jailed, but you can pay bail to free them early.
• Masks: Craft clay or leather masks to delay Heat from crimes. Guards can still pursue you, and reputation penalties still apply. Stored Heat takes effect if someone sees you remove your mask or you are jailed.
• Contraband: Server owners and modpack creators can choose which items are illegal for guards to discover during searches. Disabled by default.
• Customizable dialogue: Adjust NPC chat formatting and name appearance. The default style now matches MCA: Conversations.

Improved and Fixed

• Less frequent mugging: Reduced thief numbers, increased cooldowns, and added daily limits and protection against several thieves robbing you back-to-back. NPC mugging can also be disabled.
• Bounty quest fixes: You will no longer receive a bounty quest when the only target is yourself, and your own name will not appear among your targets. Contracts now end when no claimable bounties remain.

Compatibility: Existing saves remain compatible. Multiplayer clients and servers must both update.
