What is MineFortress
It is the first real-time strategy Minecraft mod. It was made to create a world where you can have more than one Steve and control all of them with a mouse pointer.
Why MineFortress
This idea came to me a long time ago. Being a student, I used to play Minecraft and felt like something is missing. This game has a lot of cool options except one: strategy. Then I was like: why can’t I try to make it by myself? So, that`s how it is started.
Who am I
I am just a Minecraft lover! I make the mod on a potato laptop XD with just an idea to make our virtual world more comfortable, effective, and not so lonely. And thanks to my amazing Patrons I have the inspiration to make it more, better and faster.
What`s next
I have a lot of plans on how to improve the mod: prebuilt buildings, survival, trading, massive combats and much more! Here you can see my next steps of implementation. Also, I am always open to your thoughts and suggestions, so you can share them with me on our Discord Server
P.S. Currently, this mod is in a very early ALPHA stage. I am working on it every day to improve it, fix bugs and make you enjoy the game. Let`s play MineFortress together!
Installation instructions can be found here. How to play the mod you can find here.

So at the moment its like a simplified minecolonies? Or similar to millenaire, but you have more control?
It looks interesting, will be good to see where you go with it
You are right, currently it's more real-time world editing tool, where you can select blocks with your mouse pointer. But it's a very beggining. I have plans on implementing survival mod, professions system, trading system, massive combats and much more. Roadmap is here: https://minecraftfortress.org/roadmap
The roadmap has some cool features on it If you haven't checked out minecolonies, and the older millenaire, Tektopia and Ancient Warfare 2 they might be worth looking at to see how they dealt with some of that too
Hi, are you planning of porting it to Forge or other modloaders? Are you going to make it compatible with other mods? Is there going to be a release for the 1.16.5 version as well? Sorry if this is too much to ask. But I really like the mod, it reminds me of Clash of Clans which I used to play 24/7.
Hi! Yes, I will port it to the Fabric API in the nearest future. Unfortunatelly, Forge can't give me all abilities needed to implement the mod. So, only Fabric at the moment.
I will release backport to some older minecraft versions: 1.16.5 is on the list, but I don't know when exactly I will have time to release backports.
