A long-time staple for a reason, but it's been outclassed over the years

I first used CraftTweaker way back on 1.7.10 (so like, 12 years ago now lol) - and maybe a bit on 1.6.4, but I don't remember - and figuring out how to use it & HQM is what got me into making modpacks (and now i've made about a dozen bad ones lol).

CT is a very straight-forward mod to use, but on modern versions it's fallen out of favour due to the number of mods removing support for it (and the lack of add-ons that re-add said support). KubeJS is the go-to for 1.18+ nowadays, but I'll always remember CT since it was a key part of my modpack development journey.

First of all, this review mainly targets the 1.12.2 and below versions of CraftTweaker.

CraftTweaker has awesome features helping you create the modpack you want to create. It has tons of options like replacing ingredients in every recipe, which can be used to allow plug and play with some mods even in total conversion modpacks.

It has an awesome documentation that, unlike KubeJS (at least from what I could find), also covers 1.12.2 and other versions. What's even better about CT is that it still gets updated on older versions.

I have to remove one star for gameplay since you have to restart your modpack every time you change something in order for it to take effect on 1.12, which CT blames Minecraft for, but there are some other mods which apparently can still reload on this version.

CraftTweaker, at least on the newer versions, is capable of a lot more, has an abstraction layer to deal with recipes, and is a lot easier to use compared to KubeJS.

CraftTweaker is a Minecraft mod which allows modpacks and servers to customize the game. With CraftTweaker you can change recipes, script events, add new commands and even change item properties! When used with other mods the possibilities become endless. Ranging from custom machine recipes to entirely new blocks and items!

CraftTweaker lets you customize the game to your hearts content, from simple things like changing recipes or adding tooltips to items, to more advanced things like subscribing to events or changing properties about items! When combined with addon mods, the possibilities truly become endless, with things like adding completely new blocks and items to the game and even adding new completely custom trees to the world gen!

Most modpacks you have played with use CraftTweaker to change their recipes, removing conflicting recipes or even building a central theme for their modpack!

All the information you need to get started with CraftTweaker can be found on the Wiki and if you need more help, you can join the Discord and ask for help there!
