ArsColonies

ArsColonies 2.5.0

Released: June 18, 2026 | Minecraft Version: 1.21.1 | NeoForge Version: 21.1.233

This update brings a massive unification between our two major magic systems: Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks and Ars Nouveau! Through the addition of Ars 'n Spells, you can now experience a seamless magic system that integrates mana pools and scales power across both mods. We also swapped out our sleep management mod for better server configurability.

Please back up your world before updating ArsColonies.

Major Additions (Magic Unification)

Ars 'n Spells – Bridges Ars Nouveau and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks into one seamless magic experience. Unify your mana, share progression between spell systems, and scale your power across both mods.

Removals & Replacements

Sleep Management System: We removed the DarkSleep mod. It has been replaced with EasierSleeping, a server utility where only a configurable percentage of players has to sleep to skip the night.

New Mods

Alshanex's Familiars – An Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks addon that introduces new familiars scattered around the world, which you can tame and bring with you in all your adventures. (Note: Depends on Familiars Lib).

Ars Controle – An addon for Ars Nouveau focused on increasing control.

Cataclysm x YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses Compat – Allows L_Ender's Cataclysm's Ignited Berserkers to spawn in YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses after defeating Ignis, allowing compatibility between the two mods.

Create: Escalated – A mod that adds functional, aesthetic, and rotation-powered escalators to Create.

Create: Hypertubes – Travel around the world with tubes.

Jade Colonies – A Jade addon for MineColonies and Domum Ornamentum. For example, when looking at a hut block, it displays the building name, level, and assigned citizens. When looking at a colonist, their gender and job are shown.

Kindred – A pet bonding and summoning mod. Call your pets or mounts from anywhere and dismiss them to keep them safe.

L_Ender's Delight – Adds new culinary dishes bridging L_Ender's Cataclysm and Farmer's Delight.

Structure Essentials – Provides essential utility features for structures including faster locating and automatic biome compatibility.

(Note: AzureLib, KubeJS Ars Nouveau, KubeJS Create, and Familiars Lib were also added as required libraries/compat files. Cataclysm Spellbooks and Reliquified Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks were added to the pack but have been disabled due to current stability issues. We will watch as updates come out to see if we can safely enable them.)
