Minecraft Mod & Modpack Reviews

One of the greatest packs I have ever played, I will not forget my journey with it. Perfect balancing and cohesive progression, with an engaging initial hook and a uniquely satisfying ending. It may have taken me 2 years of on and off playing and 796 hours total, but I don’t regret a second spent with this pack. If you want a challenging 1.12 Expert experience without gregtech that you can really sink your teeth in to, I haven’t found anything better yet!

This mod as saved my *** so many times, I do believe it could be a little better balanced but a the same time this mod is a must have so ya, download it, give it a try you wont be sorry.

I think this mod is very useful and been able to make so many things with Zombie flesh but only reason this isn't a 4 all down the line is that most of this teams mods interact with each other, like the card collection for there food mod, they have forgotten to include this within this mod.

Also the older versions was also a little boring so without the new automation update, so the new update is what made this mod better.

Users will enjoy the fact they can create and forget so I do recommend this mod.

Very balanced and overall good modpack, i've totally have not played this modpack for... 3ish years?
also, embers still is still unfinished. do not bother with it

Amazing modpack for those who want to have a diffrent minecraft expirience

I've been in and around the community for almost 3 years now, since the inception of the pack.

It is a very well-detailed and balanced expert mod pack that includes many different mods. The pack follows an atypical structure of non-linear progression, interweaving mods at various stages of progression, as opposed to your average linear expert pack (which revolves around doing one mod at a time). Documentation is included in the questbook itself, covering most of the major tech and magic mods, as well as comparing the differences between features from different mods that may have similar functionality.

This modpack relies heavily on automation and exploration, which are interconnected as exploration contains puzzles that yield QOL rewards that improve the grind of said automation. The pack demands that you automate everything, and provides multiblock alternatives (after finishing puzzles/challenges) for those that may be slow or laggy. Additionally, ProjectE is introduced to the player at the very start of the pack, in Chapter 2 (around 50 hours of gameplay), as there is a focus on complex crafting chains and unique mechanics rather than mass resource collection.

Stability is exceptional in this modpack given many included experimental performance mods and custom mods written by the community. Client performance can be improved significantly by following the Java22 instructions on the wiki page as well. One thing to note, however, is that, as Meatballcraft is an ultra-large modpack, TPS management is necessary to maintain playable server performance, especially in mid-late game.

From the mod author, the pack is unplayable without buying the map from the author.

really fun experience and enjoyable, with really smooth blend in the different aspects of the modpack overall. aside that it has some issues related to more technical problems

EMI is a revolutionary addon to JEI that I can no longer play the game without. It includes a powerful recipe-tracking system that allows you to not just view individual recipes but visualize the whole chain of recipes needed to craft an item from the materials in your inventory, as well as what materials you are lacking. Although it only allows you to track one recipe at a time, it's more than powerful enough to replace any crafting calculator type mods you are used to using.

Apart from that, it also includes several features not available in base JEI that you didn't even know you wanted:

• the ability to mark default recipes and materials for the quick-craft function to prioritize over alternatives
• a highly customizable interface with several convenient views such as one that shows only the items you can currently craft
• Settings that sync across different minecraft installations
• The ability to favorite a specific recipe in addition to items
• The ability to preview the recipe that will be used to craft an item before quick-crafting
• The ability to see all valid items for a given tag laid out nicely rather than cycling through them 1 by 1 like JEI does
• Indicators that show when a crafting ingredient is a tag or leaves something behind in the crafting interface

My only critique is that it lacks a shortcut for enabling tracking mode for a recipe. For something that's the primary purpose of this mod, it's a bit tedious to have to open the recipe tree interface and click the magnifying glass every time I want to track a recipe tree.

One of my favorite modpacks I've ever played. I feel like it's a balance between fun and silly things and very good multiblocks and progression. I never feel like I'm just farming. It also gives you very fun and powerful tools from the start, but they feel balanced. Even when fighting mobs, there is always a challenge.
