Minecraft Mod & Modpack Reviews

I've been playing this game for a while now, seeing the updates that are coming are making me super excited to see how things will go!

If you are looking for a fun, and enjoyable modpack, this is the EXACT thing for you! Though, it may be hard. (also huge dubs for the devs for making amazing custom handmade cities!)

Good and quality modpack . The first modpack I played Minecraft (I usually play vanilla) It was not a popular modpack when I discovered it and I liked that it became popular over time I can play with my friends forever

so i tried this modpack since it looked good but there is litteraly no way to get past the first few quests simply because i try to use the philosophers stone to craft and it doesnt work, like press c, press c, I AM PRESSING C, i really wanna use this modpack but its broken and yeah, its dogwater

A vanilla+/RPG pack where everything actually just works.

Progression
Not perfect, there are still enemies that 1 shot you in the early game, but they are rare enough that you learn to avoid them pretty quickly. That said, I would recommend playing with KeepInventory on.

The magic progression ties very well into exploration and mining. Some structures contain amazing loot that will make parts of magic progression a breeze. But you still need some gear to tackle most of them.

Currently stuck trying to find Hoglins in the Nether, as their skin is an important progression item, but they seem to spawn very rarely.

The questbook is well written and does a pretty good job guiding the player. Many items have helpful tooltips that explain how they work, but I would like more of that, since some of the ones that lack explanations anywhere in the pack are also lacking documentation online. Like the weird charms that don't go in charm slots, still no idea what those do.

I love how End Remastered, YUNGs Better structures, and Alex's Caves all enhance the exploration as well. Definitely install Horseman and Passable Foliage if you plan on using horses for anything.

I still hate Create, but the pack doesn't force you to use it that much so far. And you can't remove Create, since it is one of the core mods the pack is built around (it is "integrated" into most structures.)

The magic mods are pretty well integrated, but it is still annoying to have 2 competing spell systems that don't really interact, and require totally separate spell books to use.

Aesthetics
No weird texture packs or shaders. My only complaint here is that it still has the default Minecraft soundtrack, which I never need to hear again after 5000 hours (and which doesn't fit the pack's vibes imo).

Performance/Stability
The pack takes quite some time to start up and load into a world, but once it does, things are pretty smooth. I have a strong PC though, so take that with a grain of salt. I have seen a few weird bugs, like the Siren screen visual effect being stuck there permanently after I killed the Sirens, or the recipe for the Feather Fall thread upgrade in Ars Noveau not workinf at all. But most are minor enough.

Overall this pack is leagues and bounds ahead of anything else I have played from modern minecraft versions (except Inquisitive, which is good in similar ways, but that pack won't even launch for me nowadays...)

I tried this pack and bounced after about 30 mins. This was due to the nerf the player receives to their block interaction range. It seems to be about 50%. When combined with the early game use of in world crafting stripped logs to make any planks generates a miserable experience. The move speed and health debuffs are able to be compensated for with skill and provide an interesting challenge. However the block interaction range makes interacting with anything in the game more tedious, finicky and needlessly time consuming. This includes things such as: opening crafting tables, placing blocks, breaking blocks, and attacking mobs.
It also includes the tree chop mod which I personally dislike but given that mods download count, I am clearly in the minority.
Aesthetics had some minor cohesion improvements.
I had no issues with stability or performance thought I am on a very new computer.

This modpack has a really strange yet not so bad progression that heavily depends on how well the modpack developer is going to handle it, other then that? this is one of the most fun mods i have ever experienced, it adds so many useful things and also so many fun things to try and mess around with.

Easily one of the best mods out there especially if you love automation and tech in general, i have never seen any other mod like this and its excellent.

I think this modpack is an attempt to copy Regrowth with newer mods.

Unfortunately, the modpack is time-consuming, grindy, and there is no automation until midgame.
You have to redo all steps aggain and again and again and again. Even in Midgame you have to redo your first step again because you don't have any way of automation at all. Not even vanilla automation.

The Idea of a new Regrowth modpack is nice. But if you like to grind and want to farm all resources by hand in a tendious process - without automation... this might be your mod pack. If not, you should not touch this modpack.

This is by far the best modpack experience I had for years.

If you love exploring, boss battles Magic and combat, this mod pack is for you. It's so well-made. Everything just fits together. To beat the pack, you have to use all the key mods. Recipes are changed to make you use all mods. Lots of quality of Life stuff, a nice questbook, eye watering Buildings everywhere. Even cute little Story are hidden in the new structures.

Even the map is balanced by spawning harder enemies farther away. Magic is perfectly integrated into this modpack.

You can beat the pack faster than most big packs, and it's not getting grindy. It's focused on exploring and having fun. If you are looking for Grind and a lot of automation, this modpack is not the best fit. And I think it's absolutely amazing because you can play it with a friend for a few weeks and finish it without leaving another half finished modpack behind you.

In addition, there's a Discord server with a lovely community, and a developer who always listens to the player base.
