Shadows of Aethro - Server Overview

Shadows of Aethro is a modded Minecraft survival server built on the Forge platform, centered around the MineColonies mod and a fully player-driven world. Players are free to shape their own destinies, build thriving villages, and explore an expansive modded wilderness filled with custom systems, balanced gameplay, and unique server mechanics.

Core Features

• MineColonies Integration: Players can create, manage, and expand their own colonies, each functioning as autonomous settlements with working citizens.

• Player-Owned Land: Claim territory, build without restrictions, and forge alliances or rivalries. Your land, your rules (as long as they follow server-wide guidelines).
