Hey I have a question, if I replace the minecolonies mod with an updated version would that mean I have to start over or does it just update my world.

Usually updating minecolonies shouldn't be a problem.

But this here is an additional mod called "Blockout". Please try to ask those questions in the minecolonies thread.
