Colony Limitation | Minecolonies Addon
by PikaCat
Colony Limitation, a NeoForge addon for MineColonies, lets server owners set a server-wide cap on how many colonies can exist at once.
What it does
The addon adds a configurable limit on the total number of MineColonies colonies that may exist on a server. Without such a cap, uncontrolled colony creation can become a problem on busy servers, and the limit keeps the number of colonies within a level the administrator chooses. The default setting caps how many colonies each player may create and maintain.
The addon serves balance, performance and administration, with multiplayer servers as the setting where it matters most. Keeping colony counts in check also makes colony management more even for every player in the world.
Colony Limitation works alongside debug and testing tools that bypass normal colony creation rules, such as unlimited colony placement for a single player. The addon still enforces the global colony limit in those cases. It requires MineColonies to run, and it is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. The code is under a custom license, and the mod is not open source, though the source code is public.
