Millénaire is a mod for Minecraft, a 3D sandbox game. It aims to fill the "emptyness" of Minecraft worlds by adding NPC villages to it, with loose 11th-century Norman, Japanese and Mayan themes and additional cultures planned.

Villages are populated with men, women and children of various kinds, who perform tasks such as trading with the player, expending current buildings or improving existing ones, cultivating crops such as wheat in Norman villages and rice in Indian ones, crafting tools and powerful amulets, etc. As the village expends, the number of villagers increases as couples have children who grow up into new adults.

Help villages grow by trading with them and be rewarded with unique items such as Normand and Indian food or statues and tapestries to decorate your house with. And if they start liking you enough, they might even build you a house of your own.

Millénaire is available in the following languages: French, English, German, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Czech, Swedish, Dutch, Portuguese, Slovenian, Chinese and Arabic (more coming!)

Bonus for Millénaire contributors:

To thanks all the people who contributed or donated to Millénaire and will do in the future, Millénaire now includes a small bonus for them: a small house available for free from the village heads of each culture (except in MP). If you had already contributed to Millénaire, send me a mail to cedric@millenaire.org with your Minecraft login and I'll enable the feature for you.

And if you want to contribute but don't know how to, here is a small list of areas where I often need help:

• Translations: many are incomplete.
• Textures: I am always looking for good artists for Millénaire.
• Dialogues: the new dialogues feature requires many. New ones would be welcome.
• Buildings: new models for existing buildings, or new ideas for lone buildings for example.
• For ambitious people: new cultures! The Mayas, Japanese and Byzantines were primarily made by other people.
• Wiki: the wiki lacks content, and many sections are out of date.

Before starting, send me a mail to cedric@millenaire.org to tell me about it! (Except for adding content to the wiki - you can do that directly).

And icing on the cake, bonus houses indeed come with a free cake:
