Minecraft Mod & Modpack Reviews

The ninth of the ten mods every pack on 1.12 should install, no questions asked.

The actual mechanics of Hunger in vanilla are needlessly obfuscated by the UI for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
This mod fixes that by - get this - fixing the UI to not do that anymore, by adding two visual tweaks to the hunger bar.

Hunger, Saturation, and Exhaustion are all integral to the hunger system and players need to be able to see them in order to be able to consciously manage their hunger values, making this mod absolutely indispensable.

Load times in large modpacks are the bane of many developers. Anything that can reduce that pain is a godsend, and this does more than that. Dynamic model loading greatly reduces the use of PC resources, making the game run smoother and allowing other important functions to use those resources, which has cascading effects on lag reduction.

Minecraft's crash logs are notoriously dense, especially for users new to packdev or Java in general.
The deobfuscation of those logs alone would be enough for this mod to earn this rating.

Catching common errors so you don't have to relaunch your pack, adding better lag profiling to the F3 menu, and warning about potential issues on load so you can avoid problems on top of that?
Phenomenal.

Title is clickbait, this mod is perfection: simple, targeted tweaks that don't affect your gameplay, only your enjoyment of it.
No more frustration at placing random torches, not being able to see parts of your screen, or losing a favorite tool to bad Mending rng.

Does absolutely everything you'd want a tweak mod to do, and nothing you wouldn't want it to do is on by default.

Making furni (the fancy-pants plural of 'furnace') and brewing faster saves your valuable time.
Crafting slabs and stairs back into their constituent blocks saves your destructive frustration.
Adding 2x2 recipes for stairs makes mineshaft stairway crafting stress-free.
Boats no longer throwing a fit when you row upstream makes waterways navigable in both directions.

The kind of mod where you won't notice it's there, but you WILL notice its absence.

Microcrafting chains are a problem you constantly run into over the course of playing modded. This mod makes them not feel terrible by adding a few simple improvements to all crafting table (and crafting-table-adjacent) GUIs.

Gone are the days of having to manually smooth out uneven numbers of ingredients in batch crafts, manually fixing a misremembered rotation in a crafting recipe, quickly crafting stacks upon stacks of intermediate products, or clearing the grid one-by-one when you need to make a new recipe and still have leftover extra ingredients in the grid.

The mechanics of the vanilla cursor in inventory GUIs leaves a lot to be desired. MouseTweaks adds several contextual functionality improvements that have become so natural to use that I literally cannot play the game without them anymore. Moving items to and from inventories and quickly making crafting recipes are so greatly improved with this mod that not having it in a pack feels like a cardinal sin.

If you've made it this long without using this mod, please remedy that immediately. It will change your life (or at least the way you approach moving items around in your inventory).

I am the developer of F3 Is My Shawty.

I made this mod because i didnt think there was a good enough F3 customization mod but there are some issues with how i implemented it. Notably, it doesnt work with cleannroom and also JourneyMap? Somehow? Idk, this needs a pretty big compatibly pass but im sorta busy and theres no demand for this because customizing the f3 menu is usually too much effort for a pack.

A really well balanced and enjoyable RPG experience, one of the better RPG packs available on fabric. With just a bit more optimization and polish it could be something really special. I like it a lot!!

What is it ?

A mod which features a bunch of useful gadgets for mapmaking and modpack creation/customization which allow configuration of various things through comprehensive items and GUIs which do not require you to leave the game at any point. Mostly useful in creative mode

What does it offer ?

Mapmaking and modpack customization tools , which can be used to tweak entity equipments/mounts/persistence, force mobs to infight, make custom potion combinations and configure mob spawners;

Here's a list of possible things you can do using this mod :

-Make a custom villager using the villager trade editor and spawn him again somewhere else
-Add a description and tweak vanilla attributes on an item
-Make an invulnerable, silent and invisible creeper which can see you 75 blocks away and has the same drops as a zombie
-Make a splash potion with the color of your choice of both jump boost and instant damage with a somewhat infinite duration and no particles then throw it on a mob
-Save a customized zombie who is named Jerry and is wearing a dirt block on its head into a spawn egg to make endless copies of him
-Configure a spawner to make it activated when a player is 5 blocks away from it and can spawn periodically hordes of zombie pigmans and cows in a 100 block radius
-Save an entity into a tiny spawner which will conserve most of its data, turning the block back into a mob when a survival/adventure player is near
-Copy the NBT of an item or mob to save it for later use
-Make two stacks of stray and have each one target one from the other stack (has to be done one by one)

I like the way this mod is presented to the player and find the GUI very intuitive (I have not found any issues with the performances);
Only nitpick I have is that every time you use the entity editor on a mob and get to the tab with a wrench it seems to automatically reset the vanilla loot table, which means I have to add it again; thankfully I just have to do it once then save the mob in a custom egg and it's done.

In conclusion

This simple mod is a very useful one , I have been using it in creating recurrent complex custom structures as it allows me to easily prevent mob from despawning or place mounted entities in tiny spawners to make sure recurrent complex saves them right.

While probably made with 1.12 map making in mind, it is a very powerful tool in modpack making , that I will keep recommending.

If you are looking for alternatives/more recent versions of the mod I have yet to find one, but Mob Battle allows you to tweak mob equipment/make custom mounts/save custom eggs, while being better at making custom mob infighting at the same time (but doesn't feature deeper entity tweaks, you'll have to look for mods like Dynamic In-Game NBT Editor , among others that I don't know of which are probably even better).

Remember to check the Modpack Customization Tool feature tag for more mods like these, and to suggest it for any mod which might make modpack creation easier.
