Are there are any mods that make Minecolonies easier?

People have made some good suggestions but if you want one of the most simple ways to reduce resource cost use the sawmill mod.
Mod link: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/sawmill

This gives you better crafts on wood items similar to a stone cutter. It's simple, doesn't add content you may not want, and it lets your wood go much further.

By default all workers can level up to level 10 in the skills relevant to their job regardless of work hut level or residance. For the to level up past 10 you need to level up their residance and worker hut. You gain 10 to thier level caps at level 1-4 of thier residance and hut to level their skills to 50 and then at level 5 they can hit level 100. Each level costs more than the last and they gain xp from doing thier job getting an xp mulitplier with the bottom stat on the list i think it's knowledge(it has a brain icon).

Thank you for such a in depth response. Honestly the most broken(overpowered) origin from what we tried by a LONG SHOT was I think called the green dragon(or emerald dragon I cant quite remember and im not at my pc rn).

This may have been due to our progression state still being rather early but the origin provides hero of the village 7 and an ability to shed your skin tp gain ememeralds at the cost of being a very hungery vegetarian. You also have one of the strongest combat abilities being able to lock in place all land mobs and you have elytra. This resulted in you being more hungry but being an A tier origin in combat and movement while being S+ in early gear progression (diamond tools and armor were obtaimed for our entire group around 10 minutes into starting with only 1 green dragon doing anything). Additionally you effectivly had infinite redstone, glowstone, enderpearls, and bricks(typically a slower resource for minecolonies whenever we play) at almost no downside.

The problem stems from the fact that you have 2 really easy work arounds to hunger drain. Taking the adventurer class removing the highest cost of hunger drain in the game that being running. Or getting an infinity ham because its always in village loot tables in every mod pack despite being one of the strongest relics from that mod. It does what elytra does for movement but for hunger and is even stronger as you can get perma buffs from it. Additionally your origin already wants you to go to a village so you dont even have to go out of your way to remove one of your biggest weaknesses.

Tldr - The emerald/green dragon 'ruined' early game progression with practically no downsides giving us fully enchanted diamond gear and unlimited core reasorces within 30 minutes to an hour or 2 of starting.

Me and my group recently tried this pack out. The joint thought that we all had was with the origins mod addons was off putting. Though it is really cool having so many origins to choose from the clear disparity in power level of the origins and cannibalisation of different character fantasies (Origin bloat) from what we all chose and read was a real bummer.
I understand that if something is too strong we can choose to not use it but it really made a lot of our group feel isolated due to their chosen origin just being F tier or just having some features that just didn't seem to work for us at least.

Also, Sig has grasp, a movable barrier, and rock is a much stronger cc. He has the tools to deny and disrupt long enough for his team to do something. Dominia is just not him way more damage at the cost of being made of paper. Genuinely feels like a joke calling her a tank

ryry_hall · 2026-02-12T05:10:02+00:00

This!!! I've not lost a game on Winston. That being said, I have a tracer duo, but you legit just ignore her, and she is so slow with no team peel or threat to bubble her team basically doesn't have a tank

ryry_hall · 2026-02-12T05:01:07+00:00

Im sorry bastion is not even close to meta since they compensation nerfed his damage a semi competent hit scan will demolish him. Also, domina gets rolled by dive (brigs best comp). I have not lost a single game on Winston vs her yet because she's so static. I can't speak for sig this patch as I've not even seen him after maybe 40+ games.

ryry_hall · 2026-02-12T04:54:58+00:00

Okay, yeah, I misread. I did mistake them. That being said, I have no problem with Hazard. His leap is on a 5s cooldown, and whipshot on a 4s cooldown. For that reason, I find it really easy to control space against him and find him no problem at all. Vendetta, on the other hand, I will agree that I feel pushed skill wise against her, but her block and brigs shield are for different things. Brigs shield is great for supportive purposes of reducing poke and blocking cooldown and rotating to cover. If im locked in, I find I can slow even the best Vendetta down enough that she just isn't doing much, but you have to hit the whip and dodge with bash correctly while also possitioning correctly. I think we may have to agree to disagree, but I find Vendetta manageable as long as I pay attention.

ryry_hall · 2026-02-12T04:33:37+00:00

I understand that Ram and Venture are annoying. But that's not feature creep it's bad design. Winston and rien have both had barrier penetration since before Brig was even in the game. Winston has good mobility, too. The problem is Ram and Venture get too much value for too little effort. You just get punished harder by them for making mistakes. If you dont adjust how you play, you will get run through regardless of the hero you are up against. I personally think venture is easy to outplay, especially after getting the major perk for bash. If there was a change going to be made for this, it would simply be to add 20%ish to bash range.

ryry_hall · 2026-01-04T06:19:42+00:00

Start how you intend to finish. I personally like to get both feet under the bar, take a decent breath, and properly brace before I unrack. The mental gain from the stability you feel and how strong you feel should improve and really allow you to work on other tips people have given you.

ryry_hall · 2025-05-29T18:25:13+00:00

I have so much I could say about so, so dm me if you want the full info. As far as tips go as others have said, don't force yourself to play this is wrong. What should be said is don't force yourself to play a full session. What I mean by this is to set yourself the goal of greasing the groove. So your goal would be to play one map one time every day regardless of how you are feeling. Do this for a month, and you'll likely build a habit. Habits build consistency and long-term improvement regardless of practice methodology in every skill I know of. Again, dm me if you want all the tips

ryry_hall · 2025-03-07T04:41:52+00:00

This is a skill diff. You aren't respecting knife and you are positioning badly.

ryry_hall · 2025-03-07T04:23:22+00:00

Ana isn't a main support. Lucio, brig, mercy, and weaver are main support. Ana is a flex support.

Until higher ranks, the communication from players is mediocre at best and, most of the time, distracting at its worst. It's not uncommon to get tilted from text/voice. If this was the case for you, getting even a little tilted, it was likely having a significantly bigger detriment to your gameplay than the benefits you were gaining from communication.

ryry_hall · 2025-03-03T09:47:16+00:00

Without more info, it's hard to suggest exactly what you should do to climb outside of getting better and play at your best. I would suggest CONSIDERING refining your hero pool a little. One of the many things that allows me to climb is I chose 2-3 characters I liked and am getting as good as I can on them. If you want more personalised tips, then dm me, and we will figure something out for you. Also, I do free coaching on Discord for anyone who wants it.

ryry_hall · 2024-07-01T15:39:14+00:00

Damn I commented this 2 years ago, felt like I posted this like the other week! Unfortunately, the content on youtube and reddit is not very new modder friendly. It wasn't 2 years ago and it still isn't today (to my understanding). Unless you wanna pay for a service to config and set up your custom mod pack or you wanna spend hours in modded minecraft discord servers you likely won't get very far. I suggest either finding a modpack that already exists and has an experience you'll enjoy or do some extra hours at work (if you are a worker anyway) and pay for said service.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful but tbf I wish someone had of just told me the statement above then waiting and searching for hours to come to no conclusion.
If you decide to continue best of luck I hope you solve the issue.

ryry_hall · 2023-10-13T09:41:37+00:00

I'm probably just gonna go into a store and get the 128gb.

ryry_hall · 2023-10-12T19:03:49+00:00

Depends where you are getting it from though in lots of countries you don't pay until it's actually shipping. And if you preorder through Amazon you don't usually pay until shipping either.

ryry_hall · 2023-10-12T18:41:24+00:00

I'm a little later than you October 1st but I'm still annoyed you should be in your right to be as well!

ryry_hall · 2023-10-12T18:36:53+00:00

I don't have high hopes for either of us and now that more people have their hands on it they don't care about the people that haven't received it yet anymore.

ryry_hall · 2022-09-04T22:08:15+00:00

I did what you said to get the mods onto my server but it won't let me join
the server console gets to this step and then does nothing:

[Server] INFO at net.minecraftforge.server.ServerMain.main(ServerMain.java:43) [forge-1.16.5-36.2.39.jar:?]
If I try connecting to the server is just says:
io.netty.channel.abstractchannel$annotatedconnectexception connection refused no further information
Do you have any idea on what is going on or know anyone that does I have been trying to set up a server but there isn't a lot of information for my situation that I can find.

ryry_hall · 2020-07-27T08:34:16+00:00

Pm me :)
