Mods/MineColony

MineColony gives you the ability to add 4 helper mobs, a Delivery Boy, a Miner, a Lumberjack and a Farmer.

(this page is a work in progress, the crafting recipes in particular need some help)

Bugs and Incompatibilities
There are 2 versions of this mod. The original (available here: ) is incompatible with other mods, in particular Mo' Creatures and Humans+.

The forked version (available here: ) uses ModLoader and does not suffer the same compatibility problems and works with the aforementioned mods, and works with Mo' Creatures and Humans+.

At times the Miner can cause crashes due to what appears to be something wrong with his texture. This either has to do with the death of the miner, or when the miner enters water. So be careful when using this one!

Helpers
You create helpers by placing special Helper Chests in the world. Once a chest is placed, a helper Mob is created.

A helper will only work if they have the appropriate tools in their chests, and it is daytime. They communicate their needs to you using signs. A helper that is sleeping for the night would have a sign saying "Sleeping" beside them. Likewise if a helper is out of tools.

Iron Scepter
When an Iron Scepter is used on a helper chest, it will automagically create a fence.

Gold Scepter
When the Gold Scepter is used on a helper chest, it will automagically create a building for your helper mob. Be careful when using this, because the building is created immediately, which means it is quite possible to take suffocation damage. It's suggested to use it when standing right in front of the chest.

Miner Chest
This will create a miner that will harvest sand, dirt, cobblestone and ore blocks. In order to work, Miners need pickaxes, shovels and torches.

Lumberjack Chest
This will create a lumberjack that will harvest wood, and plant saplings. In order to work, Lumberjacks need axes.

Farmer Chest
This will create a Farmer that will plant seeds, place water, and harvest wheat. In order to work, Farmers need hoes and shovels.

DeliveryBoy Chest
Delivery boys will go between different way-points collecting stored items from and distributing necessary items to other workers chests. The Worker will then take the stored items and put them in his chest for easy pickup. Way-points are created by placing signs.
