No Colonies Long Commute

Tired of MineColonies citizens complaining that they have to walk a long way home from work? This lightweight compatibility mod removes only that notification — nothing else.

What it does

MineColonies workers can complain when their home is far from their workplace and they cannot reach it before night ends:

"I have to walk a long way home from work every day. It would be nice if I could live somewhere closer."

No Colonies Long Commute suppresses that complaint via a targeted Mixin patch. Citizens still go to sleep, work, and pathfind normally — they simply stop nagging about the commute.

What it does not change

Happiness system (hunger, housing, safety, unemployment, etc.)
Pathfinding or travel behavior
Citizen AI, jobs, or work routines
Colony mechanics, raids, or guards
Any other citizen chat or notifications

How it works

This is a standalone patch mod. It does not modify, fork, or recompile MineColonies. At runtime, it intercepts the single notification trigger inside CitizenSleepHandler.shouldGoSleep() — the method responsible for this specific complaint.

Mod loader: Forge (47.x)
