MineCompany

Play Minecraft inside Lethal Company. The co-op loop stays the same (moons, scrap, quota, the ship), with Minecraft blocks, tools and crafting added:

• Trees outside. Minecraft oak trees grow on the moons, most on grass moons and fewer on barren ones. The moon's own ground stays as it is. Chop trees for logs.
• Ore chunks inside. Some facility rooms have a chunk of stone with coal, iron, gold or diamond ore in it. Mining an ore drops coal, raw iron, raw gold or a diamond, which you can sell.
• Loot chests. Now and then a Minecraft chest stands in a room. Break it to spill sticks, coal, raw ore, the odd ingot and, rarely, a diamond.
• Blocked doorways. A few open doorways are walled off with planks or dirt. Any tool breaks them, and so do bare hands, so nobody gets stuck. Monsters path around a wall until it is open.
• Worn pickaxes. Old wooden and stone pickaxes turn up as scrap. They mine like new ones and sell for a little.
• Tools. Wooden, stone, iron and diamond pickaxes and swords swing like LC's shovel. Better pickaxes mine faster and can break harder ores, and better swords hit harder. Swords, LC's shovel and bare fists break soft blocks (planks, dirt, logs, leaves, chests).
• Building. Mined blocks go into your block stock. Press V to place the selected block on any surface (ground, walls, the ship's floor); it snaps to a grid. Press X to switch blocks.
• Torches. Craft 4 from a stick and a coal. Place them on floors and walls to light the dark facility.
• Crafting table. Every ship gets one for free, by the back wall to start with. Press B on it to move, rotate or store it like the other furniture. Look at it and press E. Blocks come from your stock, and items (sticks, coal, ingots, diamonds) are taken from the floor next to the table. Recipes: planks, sticks, torches, and every pickaxe and sword.
• Furnace. Buy it at the terminal (ship upgrades, 60 credits). Drop raw iron or raw gold next to it with some coal and press E. Ingots sell for more than the ore and coal they were made from. You can move the furnace with B too.
• Creepers. They roam the facility like LC's own monsters. While nobody is looking and it is more than about 10 m away, a creeper is silent and very fast. Up close it slows to Minecraft creeper speed, hisses and blows up like a landmine, breaking nearby blocks. Four hits with a shovel, sword or pickaxe kill it first.
• Multiplayer. The host decides what happens and every player sees the same trees, ore chunks, chests, doorways and blocks. Everyone in the lobby needs the mod, and the same config.

Minecraft art: bring your own

MineCompany ships no Mojang files. When the game starts, it reads the block, item and creeper textures and the creeper sounds from your own Minecraft: Java Edition install, using the newest release under %APPDATA%\.minecraft\versions. If you don't have Minecraft installed, the mod paints its own look-alike textures instead, and everything still works. Players in the same lobby can mix both.

Config (BepInEx/config/woode.MineCompany.cfg):

• MinecraftFolder: point it at a different .minecraft folder.
• ForceFallbackArt: use the built-in art even if Minecraft is installed.
• BlockSize: 1.25 m by default, so a player is two blocks tall.
• TreeDensity and TreeRadius: how many trees grow, and how far from the ship.
• OreRoomChance, ChestRoomChance, DoorBlockChance: how often rooms get ore chunks or chests, and how often doorways are blocked.
• PickaxeScrapRarity: how often worn pickaxes turn up (0 = never).
• MaxTorchLights and Brightness (torches).
• FurnacePrice and SmeltsPerCoal.
• CreeperRarity (0 = no creepers), CreeperHealth, CreeperRushSpeed, CreeperBlastKillRange.
• PlaceBlock and SwitchBlock keys.

The world settings (BlockSize, trees, ore, chests, doorways) must match for everyone in a lobby.

Notes

• Blocks you build in the ship stay until you quit the game; they are not saved with the save file. Blocks built on a moon go when the ship leaves.

• Built with AI. This mod was written with Anthropic's Claude (Claude Code), directed and tested by the author.
