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.

Hello, when will version 6.0.0 come out in Spanish?
.........................................................................................
hola, ¿cuando saldra la vercion 6.0.0 en español?
I can't find a spawn room where I can choose a destiny in the 6.0.0 beta
I can't marry anyone any time I try when they have 5 gold hearts it just says something like what would they do with this item
Hello,
I have been playing this on a private server with just two players. Until recently the villagers seemed to be working as intended.
I had noticed a few guards doing nothing while being attacked, that some others have stated below.
But if one or two die it is not that big of a deal.
However. Now after a few days of playing real time. IE. a week or so since i found the server hotfix download. The villages are now over spawning guards.
To the point that it is 50+ or more in one small village and in a swamp village the guards are dieng while standing in two block high water.
I even tried killing off some of them just to see if more came back. Sure enough it was just as bad the next day when i loaded the server again.
I was also experiencing some weird chunk loading with recurrent complex, so I do not think it works well with MCA. It would load halves of buildings.
That might be unrelated but I have only had this issue when this mod was in the folder.
Thanks,
And I can send a screenshot if it helps.

I absolutely love this mod! I had the older version and downloaded the updated version today. I went into Mod config and changed the amount of time it takes for the baby to grow up. I changed it to 1 minute because I don’t like to wait. The default was 30 minutes. The baby has been alive for 15 minutes, and still isn’t ready. I’ve already tried resetting config to default but it doesn’t seem to do anything.
The guards are not moving at all when there isn't a mob in there face, and I can not marry any villagers when I try it just says " adult.interaction.marry.fail.marriedtogiver ". and I don't think the name tags for some of the villagers are done, some say (example) sally (entity.villager.shady merchant) or bob(entity.villager.red) . {I can't remember exactly what the name tags say, I just remember shady merchant and red. I really love this mod and I hope you guys can keep up the great work and do it at your own pace ^^
Villagers don't move very much if you move them somewhere in the 6.0.0 beta
Hii, im a big fan of this mod ive played it ever since the early versions were released in 1.5.2. I know you guys are really busy and its a lot of hard work in the making of the mod and updating it. and i dont want to pressure anyone into doing anything more quickly as i know you guys are busy with youtube and im sure with other things.. So i understand why it takes awhile for new updates to come.
The only thing i would like to say as a suggestion is this: Can you Pleeeeassse bring back the monarchy system it was so much fun. I know the ability to become baron/baroness was added in awhile ago but its just not the same and it makes the gameplay for me personally and i know a few others a bit boring. Im only saying this as a suggestion, ive always still liked the mod but its something that would be really nice if it were added back in the new update or in maybe a separate version.
Thanks :)
Hey man thanks for the mod and the update, there are couple issues sadly with 6.0:
1. Iron Golems never spawn under any circumstance for me
2. The Guards have weird target behavior even zombies right next to them are ignored if there were multiple and after he killed the first one he just does nothing else
3. Worst of all, for some reason some items are missing? Did you remove Gravestones and Villager Beds? I started a new game and I can't craft them and JEI isn't showing them either, so did you completely remove the beds or is something wrong with my game.
Thanks again and good luck going forward with the new releases :)
Glad to see this mod has been updated, i know from your wives twitter that the mod was being rewritten.
One suggestion that i've had for awhile since i know that a lot of people want the monarchy system readded as do i but i think i know of a way to add it back but make it a bit more interesting is that you can choose between being in medieval and modern time, medieval being where you can be king/queen modern being where you can be mayor or something similar. instead of instantly becoming one of these by crafting a item you can work your way up from a peasant (medieval) or a citizen (modern). i would love to see something like this added but i know that you and your wife are busy with life
I have a bug, the villagers have that no skin, skin.
Please fix this.
PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is probably a dumb question, but what button do you use to gift? I know it was G in the older versions, but that isn't working for me.
In reply to tilemanor:
Choose Interact, then Gift, then you can select the item to gift and right click to give it to them.
does the 1.12.2 version have the crystal ball
if so if it's supposed to appear when you spawn it's not for me
edit: nm I read the changelogs but still don't know how to start it
In reply to Wierdly_Cursed:
The mod automatically starts. No need for anything on your end.
Hello! I am loving this mod so far as it makes a village feel much more alive. However, one problem that I have is the fact that this mod breaks iron farm. I built a vanilla iron farm, but no golems are spawning. Is this an intended feature? Thanks!
In reply to KHK_KS:
I'll investigate why Iron Golems do not spawn.
In reply to WildBamaBoy:
Thank you!
