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, I have noticed that in this last update the villagers do not sleep, just as they move too far from the village to some random area of the map, there is also a problem with the guards, they act TOO much like a common villager, basically they do not attack to zombies / skeletons / etc. and they only run away.
Nice but have an issue, there only 1-5 villagers in the village and Player is unable to marry other player
I clicked procreate with my inventory full on accident and now I don't have a baby and I can't reset my baby, so how do I get another one?? I've been playing on this survival world for a while and one of my main mods is mca. Please don't tell me I can't do anything. :(
Love this mod, but since 1.12.2 there has just been soo many issues. Playing the newest version of 1.12.2 (with sources mod installed as well), there's some troubles I've had so far - villagers who don't have a home point (I had to set all home points in villages manually) wander off to distance few minutes after spawning. - 0 story progression. Nothing, nada. After 4 hours of playtime in a village and story progression set to 10 minutes, not a single villager got married or anything. - I can romance my kids, but can't trade with them - Crystal ball doesn't exist anymore? (even though it's allowed in config) Cannot find it even with JEI mod search tool. - Villagers also don't use beds at all, and I kinda miss the whistle tool as well, as my family members just wander into nowhere all the time. - also, ''go home'' works only when the villager is at max 10 blocks away from it.
hey guys its been a really long time since I've played and I'm really happy to see your still supporting this mod but I looked back on your old website and it seems you completely dropped the spider queen mod. right beside fossils and archeology spider queen was my favorite mod because it allowed me to play Minecraft in a whole new way just like this mod and its a shame to see it left to collect dust. if you ever get around to it I think a comeback would be greatly received by the community. thankyou for your time.
I don't know if this is a bug or not but everytime you gift a cake it says Adult.gift.cake.fail and then below that is his/her answer to the gift
i am using this mod on a server hower since the crystal ball is gone i have no idea how to start...how do i get to the part where i choose my gender and my house/village and family?
Do the villagers spawn creepers? I'm building my own underwater village & a few somehow managed to wander into my Nether portal. When I finally found them I turned around & there was a creeper in the portal that instantly blew up. Thing is my portal is completely surrounded by stone & an iron door with lots of light. Less light in the Nether but the creepers shouldn't spawn there.
Edit: Idk how my Cleric is doing it but she constantly goes thru the Nether portal. Even when I moved the entrance & placed the button over the door she still manages to get thru. That being said if you're building a portal anywhere near the villagers block it in because zombie Pigman get thru & immediately go for villagers. That or 2 or 3 guards kill them pretty quickly.
It seems with this new version there is a bug where the villagers just go wandering off to nowhere and setting their home doesn't do anything.
I think some of my villagers profession have been replaced by the Extra Utilities 2 mod.
I cant find a priest to reset babies.
Was that removed?
If so, how to I reset baby?
Nevermind
There are only two genders you delusional homo.
In reply to itskaporli:
Intersex isn’t a gender it’s a gender identity you uncultured swine
What happened to female blacksmith #7?
Also for some reason the villagers don't sleep at night, fight back, or properly do work
can you update this please its latest version currently doesnt work with vampirism integration
In reply to Devilswarchild:
I think that's likely up to Vampirism's Team to update integrations, since MCA was just built from the ground up.
I enjoy the mod but after latest download the crystal orb or ball does not spawn i don't really know what bug is occurring-edit- never mind i just didn't look for the change log right away.
I really like this mod, it's very fun to play with my friends because there's a lot to do. However when I play on a server with this mod installed and I get married, have children, etc. I would leave the server for a few hours and get back on, but when I get back on, my spouse and children are gone and eventually the game crashes for everyone playing at that time because it fails to tick an entity. If there is anything I can do to fix this, please let me know.
The chores are very glitchy, none of them seem to work except for harvesting, but even then they don’t harvest the pumpkins.. whenever I assign a chore they just stand there. I hope this gets fixed soon coz I really can’t wait to use that feature
