From the original developers of Colonies Universalis (now known as Dawn of Kingdoms), we bring you Cactus Colonies, a fun, quest-based MineColonies modpack focused on enhancing rather than warping your MineColonies experience! Focus on building your colony with enhanced weapons, a class system, an improved skill tree system, better food, and more. Additionally, just because it's called "Cactus Colonies" doesn't mean we're just focused in the desert. Expand and explore anywhere you wish!
Additionally, there is something for everyone! If you prefer a focus on exploration and adventure, we have for you an improved experience, including, but not limited to, YUNG's Better Mods, Bygone Nether, and Nullscape. Prefer to decorate and spice up your home with pretty furnitures? Supplementaries, Handcrafted, and Cluttered has you covered! Want the old life of a peasant farmer? Why, we have you covered too with Pam's HarvestCraft 2, Cooking for Blockheads, and Aquaculture 2!
These are a few of the mods that we offer. Overall, these aim to complement the MineColonies experience rather than override or sideline it completely. Take control over your destiny and join Craft Colonies!
We have a server as well! To join, here's the link: https://discord.gg/AFvFS3cgWc . In order to join the server, you must be whitelisted inside the Discord.
