MineColonies: War 'N Taxes Addon

War 'N Taxes (formerly MinecolonyTax) is an Addon made for Modpack Devs which revolutionizes MineColonies gameplay by introducing a comprehensive taxation system, fully configurable war and raid mechanics, vassalization features, and flexible currency options. Originally designed for the EpicWarsCvC Server, this mod now also features simple PvP Arena setup, peace negotiations, and economic penalties—all integrated with SDMShop for streamlined currency management.

War and Raid Mechanics

• 1:1 Ratio (±1 Player) Balance: Teams can differ by at most one player at war start.
• Normalized Lives Resolution: Outcome calculated as (remaining lives + guards) / (initial lives + guards), ensuring proportional fairness. MineColony Guards each count as one life.
• Team Selection: Players who are members of both warring teams can now choose which side to join using /wnt choosewarside attacker or /wnt choosewarside defender.
• War Declarations: Engaging war system with clear notifications and player choices, as shown in the war declaration interface.
• War Actions / Raid Actions:
  • War Actions: Breaking and placing blocks in enemy colonies under war, without levitation side-effects.
  • Raid Actions: Only entity damage; blocks remain protected.
• Raids: Steal tax revenue directly with configurable durations, transfer rates, and cooldowns.
• Death Handling & Spectator Mode: Participants become spectators when out of lives; Last-Life inventories are saved and restored after war end.
• Disconnect Handling: Wars/raids automatically pause individual lives but continue globally.

War Process

1. Declare War: /wnt wagewar "<colonyName>" initiates a join phase (/wnt joinwar or opt out).
2. Join Phase: Allies and defending officers auto-join during the prep window.
3. Active War: Defaults to 2-hour duration; each player has 5 lives.
4. Objectives: Eliminate enemy lives; spectators remain until the war concludes.
5. Sue Peace: Propose with /wnt peace whitepeace or /wnt peace reparations <amount>; requires defender acceptance.
6. Resolution: Configurable in the mod's config:
   • Total Victory: All opponents eliminated.
   • Strategic Victory: Based on normalized lives if time expires.
   • Stalemate: Near-equal strengths; optional penalties.
   • Vassalization: Winners can establish vassal relationships with the losing colony.

A comprehensive set of war and admin commands is available, as shown here:

Vassalization System

• Establish Hierarchy: Create a network of vassals who pay tribute to their overlord colony.
• Tribute System: Vassal colonies automatically pay a percentage of their tax income to their overlord colony.
