Minecolonies – Stop Complaining

No Colonies Long Commute

Tired of MineColonies citizens complaining that they have to walk a long way home from work? This lightweight compatibility mod removes only that notification — nothing else.

What it does

MineColonies workers can complain when their home is far from their workplace and they cannot reach it before night ends:

“I have to walk a long way home from work every day. It would be nice if I could live somewhere closer.”

No Colonies Long Commute suppresses that complaint via a targeted Mixin patch. Citizens still go to sleep, work, and pathfind normally — they simply stop nagging about the commute.

What it does not change

• Happiness system (hunger, housing, safety, unemployment, etc.)
• Pathfinding or travel behavior
• Citizen AI, jobs, or work routines
• Colony mechanics, raids, or guards
• Any other citizen chat or notifications

How it works

This is a standalone patch mod. It does not modify, fork, or recompile MineColonies. At runtime, it intercepts the single notification trigger inside CitizenSleepHandler.shouldGoSleep() — the method responsible for this specific complaint.

Requirements

• Minecraft: 1.20.1
• Mod loader: Forge (47.x)
• Required mod: MineColonies

Install by placing the JAR in your mods folder alongside MineColonies.

Compatibility

Designed for large modpacks. No new blocks, items, or worldgen — minimal footprint and no configuration needed.
