Clayblock was an interesting premise only plagued by a very few repetitive manual tasks that took a very long time to get fully automated. The Early to midgame is heavily intriguing and replaced the standard minecraft progression with a very interesting path that put the onus on the player to solve via exploration. All of the vanilla mobs were replaced with modded ones which felt nice to spice up the combat as all the mobs interacted in very different ways from vanilla. I would say that the Mid-late game is fully reliant on Modern Industrialization so if you arent a fan of fully automating factories the end game may be a bit boring but the journey to get there is very well paced and the environments are fun to explore as the vanilla generation has been changed.

Careful with fast pipes though, as they did corrupt my save and I had to restore from a backup.

This was a refreshing modpack to play. The premise and early game are great, I appreciate that everything ties back to clay. The lack of mobs in exchange for geese are fun and work well for such an alien world. The exploration is sparse, since the focus is on mining clay, but rewarding as it unlocks important resources to progress. The different compression textures are great and allow you to have some variety in your clay based builds. The mid game, starting to focus on the nether and dyes is unique and feels like a puzzle game. I'm excited to reach the end :)

Description

We all know, that clay is foundation of all balance. But what if entire world was balanced this way?

Clayblock is 1.21.1 NeoForge challenge modpack, that drop you in the world made entirely out of clay blocks! Resources, that seem plentiful and disposable in normal Minecraft, will have to come from compressing, transforming and processing various kinds of compressed clay. Those processings include baking, smelting and even explosions. Are you up to the task to acquire fabled perfect 20x compressed clay, while surviving in unusual world of perfect balance?

Review on Modded Minecraft Reviews!

**Features:** 

  • To be upfront: this pack will more difficult, than the others. Don't be discouraged by your limited amount of options and be ready to think outside of the box (hahahaha). Also check keybinds, you may learn something new.
  • All three dimensions have been revamped to be composed entirely out of clay and clay-adjacent materials. Wacky clay forests, lichen-covered grottos, heated blaze vines, desolate crystal peaks, Temple of Color???
  • Completely new sets of allies and enemies: breed cutesy Scrimblows, fend off oppressive Menaces, hunt down hellish Umvuthanas and battle Clay People for their technological treasures!
  • All vanilla resources have to be obtained and automated in completely different ways! Activities include baking down clay for metals, exploding colored terracottas for common gems, collecting obsidian tears for water and harvesting the hellscape's riches for blast furnace!
  • The End is not actually the end of journey! Ender Dragon is completely optional (but you can fight them for new materials and infrastructure pieces) and Nullscape-sourced biomes have blocks necessary to start Modern Industrialization.
  • Modern Industrialization doesn't have steam age in this world. Instead you can make electric components right off the bat with familiar blasting, smelting and anvil physics! The new materials also have uses in encouraging underused parts of MI like liquid fuels.
  • This pack has no usual digital or sophisticated storage solutions, but you can still have benefits of it with chest sorting and smart crafting table. It's how Modern Industrialization is meant to be played anyway.
  • The modlist is just under 100 mods and can be played with just 2.5-3 GB of RAM, being accessible to all ages of hardware (and players).
  • If you have any questions or feedback, be not afraid to press the button in pause or inventory. If you still have questions, Pablo  from Hollow Knight: Pablo is here with his tips!

FAQ:

  • What am I supposed to do?
    • Check JEI's recipes or wait for Pablo's answer. He sometimes snoozes on his job.
  • Is this pack balanced?
    • Yes… probably. It depends on how much you understand clay.
  • Where do I talk with you? For videos, ideas or clay memes?
