MCA Social Expansion

MCA Social Expansion — v0.5 “Contacts”

This update brings a major expansion to social interactions in MCA Social Expansion.

You can now stay connected with villagers from a distance, talk through different communication channels, and unlock more meaningful conversations depending on your relationship with them.

New Contacts System

A brand-new Contacts feature is now available through the Smartphone and the Social Letter.

Once you know a villager, you can add them to your contacts and interact with them without needing to find them in person.

New ways to communicate:

* Smartphone messages
* Social Letters
* Face-to-face conversations

Each communication method has its own dialogue style, making interactions feel more natural and immersive.

New Main Screens

SocialApp v0.5

The Smartphone now has a redesigned main screen with easier access to your social features and contacts.

Social Letter

A new alternative interface for players who prefer a more medieval or immersive experience instead of using the Smartphone.

Scrollable Contact List

Your contacts can now be viewed through a scrollable list, making it easier to manage villagers you have met.

New Friendship Menu

The old main “Greet” button has been replaced with a new **Friendship** menu.

This menu includes several new ways to interact with NPC:

*  Greet
*  Ask about their day
* Gossip
* Tell a story
* Offer support

These interactions are designed to make friendships feel more personal and less repetitive.

Exclusive Spouse Interactions

Spouses now have access to exclusive relationship interactions:

* Remember your vows
* Talk about your home
* Make plans together

These conversations help married relationships feel more unique and meaningful.

Family & Relationship Dialogue Improvements

Dialogue is now better separated depending on who you are talking to.

New dialogue variations are available for:

* Babies and children
* Your own children
* Adult family members
* Dating villagers
* Partners
* Spouses

Children can also react differently depending on whether the player is their mother or father.

⚙️ Gameplay & Balance Changes

* The main social screen still includes the six core interaction buttons:

  * Friendship
  * Joke
  * Compliment
  * Insult
  * Flirt
  * Gift

* The gear icon is now used only for settings and interface switching.

* Cooldowns and interaction fatigue now scale more naturally depending on personality and relationship level.

* Spouses are more tolerant during conversations.

* Personality reactions have been adjusted for better consistency.

* Proud villagers and other personalities received improved dialogue tone and reactions.

* The mod now better distinguishes between face-to-face conversations, phone messages, and letters.

🐛 Bug Fixes

* Fixed the **Spouse** relationship label.

* Fixed the **Family** label for children in Minecraft 1.21.1.

* Fixed incorrect dialogue appearing when talking face-to-face, such as message-style responses appearing during direct conversations.

* Fixed children responding like generic villagers instead of using their proper child dialogue.

* Fixed unfair relationship penalties in family conversations, such as gossiping with children incorrectly causing a -1 penalty.

* Adjusted Smartphone and Contacts screens to prevent text and buttons from appearing outside the interface.

Thank you for continuing to support MCA Social Expansion!

This update is a big step toward making villagers feel less like simple NPCs… and more like people you can truly build relationships with.
