Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.18.2Newest
Minecraft 1.18.1
Minecraft 1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.18.2 ⬇ Download for 1.18.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This modpack is a fork of the official Minecolonies modpack, cutomized for use on the Abroad in Japan Minecolonies server.

The centerpiece of the modpack is Minecolonies, a mod that allows players to establish their own colonies, recruit settlers, and provide them with resources and jobs to produce a huge, sprawling city or base. The mod also includes some other mods to add additional biomes, new gear recipes, and an entire automation system with the Immersive Engineering mod.

This modpack adds additional mods on top of what is offered by the official MineColonies modpack, including Tool Belt, allowing players to store their tools on a radial menu accessible via a hotkey. Additional mods may be added as time goes on, which will be highlighted in the changelists when new versions of this modpack are released. Additionally, the server using this modpack includes tight integration with the Abroad in Japan Discord server, allowing cross-server chat with members of the Discord server.

To join the server, please see the #minecraft-server channel in the Abroad in Japan Patreon Discord server. Otherwise, you are free to use this modpack in your own server and modify it to your needs.

This modpack includes the Astral Sorcery mod: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/astral-sorcery
