Better Minecraft: MineColonies #3 - TOWN HALL

[@gangrel321]

Sjin says “don’t worry I’m not a psychopath” whilst killing colonists because he doesn’t like their names

[@oluftheexplorer9476]

Not to worry, that's just his random bouts of mutderous intent. He's not a psychopath.

[@lechking941]

@@oluftheexplorer9476 except murderous bouts are a psychopathic deal

[@Earthenfist]

I know they're just data, but it always bothers me when Let's Players treat NPCs like livestock or abuse them or kill them for petty reasons. Halo players taking out all the Marines because they 'don't like to be bothered' by their help or want their weapons, the factory-farm like Villager trading halls in Minecraft, all that stuff. I tend to heavily anthropomorphize, though.

Sjin break your book cases in your supply camp fortress, they hide a barrel that has extra resources

[@sofiadragon6520]

All the camps and boats hide things, I always plan to tear mine down once I have a couple buildings so I can get all the juice out of them. If making a jungle village, the camp becomes the town hall with very minimal building!

[@McBlokeados]

11:00 It's not just a big building. It marks the colony center, and creates the first "colony boundary", a hard limit outside of which most colony buildings can't be placed. It prevents two colonies from overlaping. That limit can be pushed further by certain buildings, like centinel towers. And, if I recall correctly, the colony boundary protects your structures from creeper explosions and similar griefing, if the right config is activated in the mod. (Don't quote me on that last one, though... I haven't played minecolonies in two or three mayor versions of Minecraft...) EDIT: beside that, it marks the max level most buildings can be upgraded to. Builder huts can be built and upgraded up to 1 level above your town hall level, everything else is limited to the level of your town hall and the level of your available builder hut. So, not just the centerpiece: it's the heart of the colony. You need to upgrade the town hall to upgrade the builder huts to upgrade the rest of the colony buildings. And certain level town halls have special materials in it, so it forces you to explore nether and end in order to reach the highest level buildings.

[@Orinmaxden]

I hope he sees this cuase you're right its a very important building. plus once its upgraded i took over one of the rooms in the top tower.

[@Nesetroll]

I think I might be addicted to Dark Oak. Ever since it got added, whenever I play, I look for a roofed forest biome and settle nearby to get it. It contrasts so well with the light birch, and is nicely complimented be normal oak, and that rich dark colour has me hooked!

[@makfromcampmc6736]

I’m so happy to see a MineColonies playthrough!! It’s the main reason why I tuned into the All The Mods series

[@bmxdude1337]

Yeah you’re right? I’m sure there are playthroughs but They probably aren’t that fun to watch like Sjin is

[@haydes1285]

Dropbear is a mythical(?) animal, urban legend, or just some prank that aussies would use to define koalas, that they were vicious bears that would drop out of trees to attack people

I think it be really cool, when you decorate the town, that you put hanging lights in the trees

[@festerlittle855]

The town hall looks amazing! MineColonies is such a good mod

[@balinlesavage]

Another great vid Sjin, and yes sometimes a colony needs culling so that better names prevail. Totally not psychopathic behavior!

[@Stranglethroat]

That's what I've been saying! Just like a garden needs weeding, a colony needs..... Culling. Ofc I don't get invited to the colony Christmas party anymore, but...!

[@Shawnchapp]

@@Stranglethroat Do you not get invited because of what you did or because there no one left to invite you? Hmm?

[@Stranglethroat]

@@Shawnchapp........ Don't worry about it

[@thegunslinger448]

Hey Sjin, it’s been along time since I’ve watched you and I’m glad I starting to watch you again, I remember watching feed the world long ago and your videos always had me in aw at what you achieved, can’t wait to see this series

[@vic8772]

The builder has a 2x2 crafting grid, you can teach him basic recipes such as sticks, or torch and he will craft the items on his own if there are enough resources.

[@Linkothers]

Been checking back all day waiting for this upload

[@vic8772]

Consider build either a tavern or a house, so that your colonists have some place to rest. I'd opt for the Tavern tho, as it immediately comes with 4 available beds even at Level 1.

[@Eventide215]

The tavern is definitely the best to start with. It also allows for recruiting new colonists with usually *much* better stats.

[@projectkabal]

Hey Sjin you can tame some of the wild animals, Kangaroos make for grate attack pets you can even put armour on them.

[@gmalivuk]

I first encountered the cave centipede in ATM7, where luckily I was armed with micromissiles I found in a chest so I could kill it from a distance. Weeks later and I've still never gotten close to one.

[@You-Know-Youre-Right]

Loving the series Sjin! Thank you so much for your high quality minecraft videos :)

[@Byvenic]

Sjin: Kills colonists because they have the wrong names Also Sjin: I'm not a psychopath!

Sjin was really close to creating the NCR xD

Hah, dropbear. That's hilarious.

Im from portugal been watching back when u showed up modpack i was playing but i just started wathchig this becouse i missed the old minecraft vibe Very glad u still making quality content keep up the great work Gonna keep up with this playlist for surr 🙏🙏🙏

[@gobokinje9183]

Looking forward to the expansions to the town going forward, some of the mid level stuff like archers specifically. Wondering if youll go the Warcraft 2 route of having a dark oak barracks or archery range for the rangers and rp that theyre Elves :3

[@TheDeinonychus]

When a colonist dies, they drop a gravestone holding all of the items they were carrying. But the gravestone will disappear after a short while. You can unlock research in the University to make the gravestone last longer, or hire an Undertaker who will run over and collect the items as well as have a small chance to resurrect the colonist. If they can't, he will make a gravestone in the Cemetery that will hold their items till you can collect them.

[@thunder_]

You can tame a raccoon. But beware he may try and steel your food.

[@maxwright4321]

Love this series!

[@redracerb18]

You could have renamed the colonists

[@SandySquatch]

You should have gone with New Sjinterfel

[@notlegendary6721]

Your videos are my daily dose of dopamine, 👍

[@jadepath13]

Sjin how do you add custom names?

[@debbiesa00]

If you ever want to get rid of some colonists just assign them to work in the mines LOL

[@Vyzard]

'We also discover how to get new colonists!' Ah yes, horseweed. The preferred way to 'relocate' people you aren't fond off

[@sjin]

just a little in their tea and they wake up in the shadow realm

[@Agent_Zeta]

Going to admit i am proud i got here one minute after Sjin posted the vid.

[@ICallGoatTV]

The better minecraft modpack is huge!

[@Madmonkeman]

The kingdom's just starting and the king is already killing his people because of their names.

[@SilentPsychopath]

It might be worth adding that mod for the torch that prevents monsters spawning, and putting them around the boundaries of your colony

[@trise2033]

Most torches stop mobs spawning.

[@SilentPsychopath]

@@trise2033 Yes, but the one he used on the farm was a modded one with a larger area that included areas that the light didn't touch.

[@Eventide215]

You're thinking of the mega torch and it stops all mobs spawning in a 32 block radius. Just putting it at the boundaries wouldn't really work. It's hard to really tell the area of effect the torch has which makes me just not really use it.

[@bmxdude1337]

Gusters remind me of the mob in WoW located in Westfall. I miss old WoW

did anyone tell hem of the hidden block of emerle and the gold block?

[@johnathonlewis7570]

We have drop bears in Australia 🇦🇺

[@jimearle9055]

How did you get your colonists to generate the funnier names like that? Did you have to add each one of those names to the database file or are there files you can download to replace the standard one?

[@kuchisabishii1874]

is the "bigger biomes" under world seed the same as large biomes?

[@Mabra51]

I would be nice if the colony mod created a radius that prevents mob spawn that gradually increases as you get more buildings and colonists, like in terraria. Or maybe it already has a feature like that, i never used this mod so i don't know.

[@Bluepikmin64]

while it doesn't stop mob spawns, anything inside the colony border is protected from mob griefing (creeper explosions, endermen). Mob spawns aren't prevented because the mod creators want you to get guards

[@Eventide215]

As was mentioned, it doesn't stop spawns entirely because you can just get guards and guards don't need a house. Stopping mob griefing is enough honestly because at least then nothing randomly blows up or gets stolen. The nice thing about the mod is there's an entire research system and some things are really nice like giving your colonists access to using rails to get around faster.

[@BonsajAudio]

*Claim your “within one hour” before it’s too late!*

Anyone have the mod pack with all these mods having some troubles getting all the mod packs together

[@TheCadHD]

It would be nice to have something like this but with (trusted) viewers, a select elites of ''workers'' with jobs to enhance the colony. I tried to do this back then on terra firma craft, as its a weirdly hard mod, that you kinda wanna specialise in getting good at certain things :) great video as usual

[@Eventide215]

TFC is an absolutely amazing mod. Glad people took it over and have been updating it for newer versions. It's definitely a mod that's much better when you have multiple people.
