Pathfinding Edition for MineColonies - Enhanced Navigation for Your Colony

This mod completely overhauls the movement system for citizens in MineColonies, making their behavior more intelligent and predictable. Your colonists will now navigate the city more efficiently and perform their duties better.

🚀 Core Navigation Improvements

Citizens now prefer to use established roads when traveling long distances, paying less attention to elevation changes. This is especially useful when building multi-level cities with complex terrain - your colonists will stop getting lost constantly and will reach their destinations via optimal routes.

Important new feature: ladders are now recognized as full path blocks, simplifying vertical movement between city levels.

🛤️ Enhanced Rail System

Fixed issues with premature minecart exits and refusal to disembark. Citizens now correctly identify unpowered rails and improper connections, while detector rails are treated as stops.

Minecart speed now depends on colony technologies, speed effects, and courier agility, making rail transport even more efficient.

🍽️ Optimized Food System

Revised food search algorithm: citizens check their own inventory first, then the nearest workstation (if food variety requirements are met), then head to the restaurant. Cooks and chefs no longer wait at restaurants - they eat immediately.

Starting 105 seconds before nightfall, all citizens at the restaurant begin eating without waiting, and this mode persists until morning.

⚙️ Flexible Settings and Tools

In creative mode, a marking tool is available that allows assigning different behavior types to blocks: converting regular blocks to paths, blocking movement, or canceling path properties.

Configuration allows adjusting many parameters: movement cost for different blocks, maximum pathfinding distance, and other technical parameters.
