And we're....back!
Hello there! It's been awhile! We're happy to announce the release of MCA 6.0.0-beta for Minecraft 1.12.2! This is a much more robust version of MCA rewritten from the ground up to play nicer with servers and other mods. Some notable features:
- RadixCore is no longer a requirement.
- Chores are smarter and more mod-friendly.
- Gameplay has been streamlined and made less complicated for newcomers.
- Multiplayer support is much more stable.
See the changelog for all the juicy details!
Regarding Minecraft 1.13: This won't be happening until a recommended version of Forge is released for this version of Minecraft. Please do not ask for it as you will not receive it.
- "Hrrh!" Villagers are no longer Caveman Squidwards and no longer make sound. They are now male or female humans with over 250 unique skins.
- You can interact with villagers in many ways, such as chatting with them, asking them to follow you, hiring them to do work, giving them gifts, and more!
- Interacting with villagers builds relationships. Get your relationship high enough, and you'll be able to marry a villager.
- Once you're married, you can have children. Children will grow up over time and do many different chores for you.
- Children eventually grow up into adults, who can get married and have children of their own.
- You can marry other players and have children in SMP and LAN.
- There's no loss of original Minecraft functionality. MCA villagers can be traded with, and any modded villagers are not overwritten with MCA villagers.
MCA may be downloaded from CurseForge (where you're at right now!) or our website.

Hey! I played this mod in 1.12.2 and I also added shaders to the game. It looks really good! Would love to see this mod in 1.14.4. Btw, the recommended version of forge is released on that version of the game. I love the mods so much. Keep it up!
Works with Fabric and the 1.14.4 game version?
Will you be supporting MCA for 1.14.4?
Will you support 1.14.4 on Forge?
The recommended FORGE version 1.14.4 has been released. Wait.
The new GUI looks great. The only problem is I don't know where the special button is anymore.
I cant wait and see IF this mod will be out for 1.14.4
When will adopting children rather than only producing them with a spouse be added back? Is that a plan at all?
I’m nonbinary, and I’m wondering if you could add a “Neither” option to the Male or Female character creation (or maybe just choose pronouns). This would definitely improve my experience and many others’!
In reply to seroxianknight:
what
I dont know if there is something wrong with my computer but its telling me that MCA is old,something like that.
In reply to awesomek12385:
The mod developers haven't updated to 1.14. I'm also wondering when they will.
My baby cannot also age past 10 minutes.
For some reason my waifu kills my skeleton horse when she's hunting. Killing that skeleton horse also crashed my game. I do not know how this will be solved.. Happened in 1.12.2
So when I make a new world, if I propose to a villager with five gold hearts, they say I'm already married. And when i did have a husband, I tried the divorce papers but it didn't work. How do I fix this or can you please fix this?
Good, nice to have an error to comment, and it is the error that the latest version of 1.12.2 is not compatible with servers and when installing previous versions some items makes the server Crash, and I would like to know when it will be Fixed that error. Sincerely, MiguelTz fan of your mod.it was also possible to have grandchildren, in the current version the grandchild acts like a normal village child, and the jobs don't work that well
I do not know why but every update that passes this mod runs out of resources and items and decreases interaction with villagers, before (in version 1.7.10) the guards behaved differently from other villagers, the dialogs were more varied, there was a document that renaming villagers as relatives of his family (brother, sister, father, mother) and crowns to become "king" of the village, and today all this has been removed
In the newest version(s) I cannot place a baby! Oops... Also villagers if you don't sleep they wander away from their homes and get killed... I much preferred the teleportation and sleeping D: I find villagers sprawled throughout the world randomly and mostly empty villages.
The first issue I had with this mod on 1.12.2, was upon loading in, I did not receive any prompt for "Choose Your Destiny" but I did not think anything of it, because this is my first time attempting to use this mod. I then got engaged and married to a villager, and had a child. After 10 minutes, I received no text prompt stating that my child was ready to age up, and was unable to click him on the ground.
I waited until it was at 20 minutes, nothing. 30, still nothing. I loaded in a copy of the same world in creative mode to use a "test baby" to see how long it would actually take, and left the game running for an hour, with still no prompt and was still unable to age the child.
Also, while browsing the mod wiki and seeing all the possibilities, many of them are missing from my game. I am not able to use a priest to "reset baby" I attempted on my first mentioned world and the test world. Also, the wiki mentioned how the "shake hand" icon turns into "High Five" once reaching a certain popularity with villagers, but that never happened, even after going into the creative world and giving the villagers enough gifts to get the popularity to 500.
Also, upon assigning villagers to do tasks, they will simply stand wherever it was that you told them to do something.. and not do it lol.
Not sure if this is a bug as well, but I placed my baby into the father's inventory and the age process for the baby actually stopped. At first I believed that to be the cause of the child not aging, but loading in a fresh world I was still unable to get the child to age.
If I have misspoken or am uninformed in regards to something about this mod please let me know. It is very fun, and my friend and I enjoy playing it, but I'm unable to get the full experience with it as is.
