Description:

This pack is based around town-building mod - Minecolonies and it can be casual or challenging as you want it to be. Build your own thriving town, impregnable fortress, nordic settlement or even small fishing village. On other hand it's so called Vanilla+ modpack that will enhance your 'close-to-vanilla' gameplay and add some new features(like new NPCs that will work for you, new terrain features, mineshafts, decorations(see features list for details)) to explore and interact with, so you wont be overwhelmed with a lot of new and unusual stuff.
Minecolonies will allow you to create your own colony where citizens will obey your will. Mainly, they will build, gather resources, upgrade their buildings and all of that under your control. You will plan and command their moves.
