Minecraft Mod & Modpack Reviews

This mod is absolutely one of the best mods to spice up your gameplay experience. The parasites are not only amazingly modeled and look grotesque in the best way, but are also relentless, and fighting them is a constant uphill struggle.

The evolution mechanic ensures that the parasites will continue to get stronger if you don’t deal with them, and the later mobs it spawns can even break blocks and summon more mobs.

They have a reputation of being damage sponges, but it can easily be tweaked in the configs, along with most other parts of the mod. If you’re considering playing with this, playing with freinds or as a later challenge in a pack is the best way imo

This mod not only add another dimension but it gives you a lore distributed in multiple letters that you can find around the world, mobs with very good animations and a very immersive environment thanks to its music and art that makes it feel like a part of vanilla Minecraft.

Not only that, but it makes everything you bring outside of its dimension (Food, weapons, armor...) useless, forcing the player to start from scratch in the dimension.

And to finish this review, it takes advantage of this to create a good progression system, with its own minerals, weapons, tools and armor in the adventure.

as entertaining as a 9-5 job but unlike one you dont get paid for doing it

In this pack you go through different ages of technology as the main progression. This is balanced against the game’s stated difficulty and is more difficult than most expert packs out there. While the vast amount of mods may make it seem like just another poorly-made kitchen sink park, all of the mods have been changed to fit perfectly within the main progression. Even if you have played all of the mods individuals the pack provides a new experience that is aided by the amazing quest book that will teach even the newest of players how to play the game. It’s hard to find any pack that is even close to GT:NH in terms of quality and it is still receiving large content updates and performance improvements that don’t come from adding new mods, they instead come from a team of volunteers that are actively coding new parts of the game. This is what a mod pack was meant to be, not just some random machines strewn about and many more you’ll never use, instead you are forced to make a large factory and actually fix bottlenecks. The only downsides I’ve found in the pack are the mobs, as they use Infernal Mobs that can easily kill a new player but provide absolutely no danger once the player has access to a crossbow. Can’t recommend enough.

I played it on a public server many years ago. I remember crashing the entire server because of chunk-loading and unstackable mob drops (sorry everyone).

Gameplay-wise it's just your Skyfactory-like modpack, nothing more nothing less.

Worthy successor of the old JABBA mod. Very useful in technical modpacks until more advanced storage is available. Even in the lategame can have its purpose.

not only has it been unfinished for 10 years, almost nothing interesting has happened in the meantime. it's not charming or nostalgic, it's clunky and old and boring.

they're always working on something, but it just seems to be racing to adapt their dinosaur codebase to newer versions of minecraft. A new mod definitely needs to step in and take the "fantasy dimension mod with progression" role.

This mod is an older mod that has always been cool, but has had various issues, mainly balancing. But the dev has been active and continues to make serious improvements, it's a staple mod for any adventure pack imo.

This mod just do what it says, it adds a new Backpack that can be equipped to the player Chestplate slot or in a new slot if you have the Curios API mod installed.

You can obtain skins for this Backpack, but in my opinion most of them require a lot of grinding to unlock them.

This pack has everything. There are hundreds of dimensions in this one modpack. The progression is pretty good. However, I'm not a big fan of having the skills mod and only being able to do certain things after leveling up your skills, and the fact that you start in the twilight forest is kind of annoying sometimes. This modpack is great if you want a fun progression pack and there's lots more than just that. There's so much to explore, the music is just amazing, the dimensions are fun and don't feel forced or drawn out (ok maybe sometimes they do), everything is nicely balanced. I highly recommend this.
