"Millénaire is a single-player mod for Minecraft. It aims to fill the "emptyness" of single-player worlds by adding NPC villages to it, with loose 11th-century Norman, North Indian and Mayans themes and additional cultures planned.

Should I kill all the cows and pigs around, or build a rudimentary axe and start collecting wood? How important is a torch on that first night alone in the wilderness? "
