Lovkar’s MineColonies Lite

Lovkar’s MineColonies Lite is Lovkar’s MineColonies Ultimate without Ars Nouveau and Create. It is the same cozy NeoForge 1.21.1 pack built around MineColonies, made for players who already play those two big mods elsewhere and want the colony to be the main thing.

What is different from Ultimate

• Removed: Ars Nouveau and Create, plus the 11 mods that cannot run without them: Ars Elemental, Ars Additions, Ars Affinity, Ars Creo, Ars Technica, Ars Unification, Ars Nouveau’s Flavors & Delight, Not Enough Glyphs, the two Sophisticated Ars compat mods and Create: Colony Logistics.
• Everything else is the same and follows the same updates. Sophisticated Backpacks and Storage stay; Occultism, Exposure and Every Compat simply switch off their Create parts.
• Tested on a dedicated server before release: it starts cleanly, a colony is founded and the citizens get to work.

• Your colonists talk, and they listen. With Talking Colonists and the Colonist Errands addon you speak to citizens and things actually happen: send them to eat, to the hospital or to build; run logistics, guards, patrols and raids by voice. (Voices need a free Google Gemini API key, which you enter yourself in the mod’s config.)
• Expeditions to the End. The Voyager profession flies expeditions from a Launchpad or an End Gate and comes back with a haul… if they come back at all.
• Walls, and wars between colonies. Colonies at War gives your colony curtain walls the Builder really builds, Wall Towers whose guards walk the wall, and a War Room that hires knights and rangers. Wars are declared by hand and never start on their own.
• Somebody is robbing the neighbours. Colonist Thieves adds a Hideout and a Thief who slips out at night to rob a barbarian camp, a village, a temple or another colony.
• Giants are sleeping under the hills. The Waking World buries forty-block colossi in the land and leaves the letters of dead men to lead you to them, while the world acts on its own.
• Food for the whole colony. The Farmer’s Delight ecosystem plus a dozen delight add-ons.
• A living world. Towns & Towers, Better Dungeons / Mineshafts / Strongholds, Terralith, Corail Tombstone, Waystones, Sophisticated Storage & Backpacks, JourneyMap and quality-of-life throughout.
• Shaders included. Complementary (Unbound & Reimagined), BSL, Bliss and Photon ship with the pack via Iris.

• The Fairytale style in Stylecolonies builds with Create blocks, so pick another style in this pack. All the other styles, and the decorations that come with the pack, work without Create.
• Don’t open a world from Ultimate in Lite: the Ars Nouveau and Create blocks and items in it would be lost.
• Plays great solo or in co-op. In multiplayer, only the host needs a Gemini API key for the talking colonists.
• Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1.x (installed automatically by the CurseForge app).
• Made by Lovkar. Colonist Errands, Voyager, Colonist Thieves, Colonies at War and The Waking World are my own mods (GPL-3.0, source on GitHub); all other mods belong to their respective authors – thank you!
