MineFortress
by remmintan
MineFortress turns the world into a real-time strategy view, where the player leads a village and directs it with the mouse pointer.
What it does
The player takes the role of a village leader who gathers resources, builds houses, hires professionals and grows the settlement. The view is top-down and RTS-like rather than first-person, and everything is controlled with the mouse pointer. Pawns gather resources and spend them to hire more professionals and build houses. Custom buildings can be added to a village through the blueprints system.
A separate Fortress gamemode is added as a new game type. It is chosen in the world creation menu or switched to with a command, and a campfire is placed by right clicking after the world starts. Pawns carry hunger and mood, and their health and stats are tracked, with more character systems planned. Players can hire warriors to fight neighboring villages, and multiplayer support is part of the mod.
The mod needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, plus Keybind Fix, and the required dependencies are installed alongside it. MineFortress is released under the MIT License and is open source. It runs on Fabric, and either side can run it while neither needs it. Files are published for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 1.17.5-beta for 1.20.2 as the latest.
