Hey everyone,
I just wanted to give a heads-up to all my awesome patrons and the community about the new MineFortress update video on YouTube for a while!
In this update, I've been working on making the controls smoother and more intuitive. You can now select individual pawns with just a click, making it super easy to manage your colonists and assign them tasks.
I've also added some cool new features, like the ability to select multiple pawns at once (just like in your f...

Hey everyone,
I wanted to remind all my patrons about the exclusive perk you have access to: MineFortress dev builds! You get to experience the latest features and improvements before they're released to the public. This reward is more important now since I am stuck in another development iteration changing the pawn controls mechanism.

Hey everyone,
First off, I want to apologize for the radio silence over the past couple months and the delay in releasing beta version 1.12.0. I've been heads down working hard on the next evolution of MineFortress mod and I'm excited to finally share some updates with you all!
As the mod has grown, we've accumulated some gameplay mechanics and approaches that have started to feel a bit cumbersome and complicated, especially around blueprints, resource production, and inventory ma...

Hi everyone,
After incredible years of development and growth, I am happy to announce that the MineFortress mod finally goes open source! This decision I see as the natural next step for our project. When a large number of people are involved in the product by testing and suggesting different things, it would be best to release the source code.
After 3 years of constant development (it will be even more if we count on the first private prototypes) I can feel that I am starting to ...

Wow, I almost missed it, but it's never too late to celebrate! The MineFortress mod turned two years old yesterday!! 🎉 Big date for us! On November 23rd, 2021 - the same day the first public version of the mod was released.
Although the mod had been in the works since mid-2018 as a personal project to play with friends, it eventually became a public project. I could never have imagined that it would grow into such a significant community!

Hi everyone! I have finally spent some time and set up a wiki for the mod! Welcome to MineFortress wiki, your hub for everything related to the mod. It's almost empty right now. I was only able to create the structure for MainPage and add some basic logos.

This update is a huge milestone for the mod, as it's the first version that is compatible with Minecraft 1.20.1 and later versions. From now on I will try to keep the mod up to date with the latest Minecraft releases because I don't want to actually go through that amount of migration pain again 😅
The other big step with the love to our community: you can now run the mod freely on your own servers! Forget about essential mod and other problematic methods, just pick up the jar and run...

The new development builds website was introduced 3 days ago and here is the first small update for it. In a previous version of the website, the builds contain only a name and no description. So it was almost impossible to understand what was changed in the build. With this update, a small description will be included in each build.
