Mods/Millénaire



Millénaire is a mod that aims to "fill" the Minecraft world a little by adding pre-generated villages to it, with a loose 11th century theme to them. Those villages will appear occasionally in newly generated areas, with villagers of different kinds working. You can trade with them, help them develop their village, and trade with them for items such as wood, and cider.

Villagers in each village perform specific tasks, such as Lumbermen collecting wood by chopping down trees and planting new saplings, farmers planting and harvesting crops, and traveling merchants moving between villages to trade.

For a full list of features and updates see the Millénaire Wiki page.

Hindi village types
The second Culture added to Millénaire, the Indians are based on rice-growing villages from the Ganges valley and speak Hindi. Their villages are centred on Palaces, Forts and Chief's Houses. Their rich cooking is based on growing rice, Turmeric, sugar canes and raising chickens, from which the player can make vegetarian and chicken curries. They build mostly from mud bricks and cooked bricks, special blocks produced in a kiln. This culture has Dialogue for the villagers to speak when resting

Mayan village types
The third culture added to Millénaire, the Mayans were designed by MinerMiah. They live in military, agricultural, or religious villages and build huge stone and cobblestone structures. They can grow corn, from which they make Mayan food: Masa (corn tortillas) and Wah (a tortilla wrapped in chicken meat). They also create great Mayan sculptures and ornamental gold blocks with which to decorate their palaces and temples. This culture has dialogue for residents to speak, when they are not busy.

Japanese village types
The Japanese Culture is the fourth to be added to Millénaire. The Japanese have military, religious, or agricultural villages. Agricultural villages have either the usual farms or a sake brewery. Japanese buildings are very detailed and stunning, using paper walls and Timber frames. They farm Rice to make the food Udon and farm Wheat to make Thatch. They also have very good weapons such as the Tachi Sword, as well as two sets of armour. Japanese are from the Heian Period of Japan's History and are known as the Heian people.

Byzantine village types
The fifth Culture added to Millénaire was designed by Ticlon. The skillful Byzantines are the last remnants of the once great Roman Empire. Besides making wine from grapes and farming silk to make expensive icons, they also use tiles to recreate the legendary architecture of their ancestors. There are religious, military and retail-based villages. This culture has dialogue for the villagers to speak when they aren't busy.

Trading village (Chorio emporikos)
Currently the only village that is guaranteed to have a market hall. Starts with a town square, an architect's hut, a lumberman's hut, two groves, a fisherman's hut, a quarry and an inn.

Expansion of the Village
The main "aim" of the villagers is to improve their village. There is between six and ten initial villagers, but their number will grow as they have children and build new houses. They can also build new types of buildings and improve existing ones. For this they need building materials: wood, cobblestone, glass and stone. They can acquire the resources needed themselves or by trading from the player. There are four different types of villages, each with a slightly different set of buildings upon completion.

Trade with the Player
There are eight Norman locations at which the player can trade with the villagers: their Town Hall, Bakery, Tavern, Forge, Armoury, Pig Farm, Cattle Farm, and the Sheep Farm. (when built):
 * Town Hall/Fort (present at start): you can sell wood, stone, cobblestone, iron and glass (plus extra blocks when building projects require them). Payment made in deniers, a special item. You can also buy wood there, Parchments and the "village wand".
 * Bakery (when built): Buy Bread.
 * Tavern (when built): Cider and in upgrade taverns Calva.
 * Forge (when built): Norman Tools.
 * Armoury (when built): Norman Broadsword and Armour.
 * Pig Farm (when built): Boudin noir and Porkchops.
 * Cattle Farm (when built): Tripes and Leather.
 * Sheep Farm (when built): Wool, Eggs, and Feather.

To trade, players must go to one of the locations in question and stand near the chests. If no woman is around one will arrive shortly. Right-click on her to bring up the trade screen.

Finding a Village
Press the "V" key will, if a village is nearby, display its name, the distance to it and the general direction. Most new worlds should have villages near the spawn point. If that doesn't work try the "N" key good luck!

Norman villagers


There are currently nine types of Norman villagers:


 * Farmers: Grow crops in the fields around their house, and bring the resulting wheat back to their house chest.
 * Lumbermen: Chop trees, plant new trees with saplings they get from destroying leaves, and gather cider apples from leaves as well. They put the wood and apples they gather in their house chests.
 * Miners: Mines for stone and cobblestone for construction, and sand for the making of glass.
 * Animal Farmers: There are three types of farmers; Pig farmers, Sheep and Chicken farmers and Cattle farmers that make a living out of the resources they gain from their respective farms.
 * Wives: Have the most complex work: taking resources from their husbands' work to the various public buildings, making bread from wheat, making cider from cider apples, trading with the player and building new constructions.
 * Children: Born at night, and which grow up to become adults when bread is available and new houses are built.
 * Guards: Patrol the village, will attack you if you attack a villager.
 * Priests: Visit the church.
 * Smiths: Makes Norman tools in the forge, swords and armor in the armoury.

Boudin noir
Almost as good as Tripes, Boudin noir heals three hearts and can be used three times.

Raven Amulet (Amulette du Corbeau)
This amulet dedicated to Odin will warn you of incoming danger by lighting up if an unnatural creature is near. Useful to avoid them - or to seek them out. The Amulet can be bought from the Viking merchant at the market. It has a colored circle in the center. The color gradually changes as mobs get nearer, from light blue (like diamond items) to bright red.

Amulet of the Dwarves (Amulette des Nains)
Brought to the Norman shores by the Vikings and crafted in the shape of Thor's hammer, the Amulet of the Dwarves will guide you to the Earth's riches. The Amulet can be bought from the Viking merchant at the market. The bottom of the amulet glows bright yellow when there is an ore vein in your vicinity, though it does not point to which direction.

Amulet of Yggrasil (Amulette d'Yggrasil)
Engraved with Yggrasil, the World Tree of Norse mythology whose roots reach the bottom of the world and whose branches touch the tip of the sky, this amulet will ensure you always know how high or deep you are. The Amulet can be bought from the Viking merchant at the market.

Norman Tools
The Millenaire mod also has its own set of tools which can be obtained from a stocked Forge.

Norman Broadsword
This sword has more durability and strength than a diamond sword.

Norman Tapestry (Tapisserie Normande)

Designs are taken from the Bayeux Tapestry, with the biggest a massive 15x3 depiction of William the Conqueror's fleet sailing for England. This item is acquired by selling wool in the fort. When you do so, the Lady in the Fort will start making them, and they will be for sale.

Parchments (Parchemins)
These are in-game Millenaire parchments that give you a brief description of the Buildings, Items, and/or Villagers. There is also one parchment you may buy that has all information about that culture's villages.
