ArsColonies [1.6.0]

 

Released: July 15, 2025 Minecraft Version: 1.20.1

 

Welcome to ArsColonies 1.6.0! This is a massive content update, bringing the mod count to over 300! We've integrated the full suite of Macaw's decorative blocks, added the Valhelsia content mods, and introduced numerous structure overhauls from DnT to make exploration even more rewarding. Additionally, FTB Quests has been added in preparation for future questlines.

 

❗ Important Note for Existing Worlds ❗

 

Your existing worlds from version 1.5.4 will not break and are compatible with this update!

However, to experience all the new world generation features (like the new structures from Valhelsia, DnT, etc.), you must explore new chunks that you have never visited before. For the ultimate, seamless experience, a new world is recommended, but not required.
