Minecraft Mod & Modpack Reviews

I don't have much to say about Farmer's Delight, to put it simply though:

The good:

1. Very clear and realistic, in a sense that everything it adds is coherent, it adds more crops, adds knife which you can use to cut meats, adds cooking pots to cook more foods, even adds more vanilla like interaction where you can strip wood with axes. You can make up everything here logically.
2. Not bloated, in a sense that the additions it adds doesn't immediately overwhelm you, as this is one of my issue with Pam's Harvestcraft but Farmer's Delight introduces everything in itself in a very clear and engaging way as compared as to infodump everything. This is also prevalent due to how FD has simply more processing chains via cutting board, cooking pot, etc etc, which does limit how much information were being dumped to you.

I don't think i can really say anything bad about this mod, it just does it's job, it's integrated with a lot of things, has a lot of addons, it's in almost every pack nowadays, but most of the time it doesn't really affect you that much as FD more and more feels like a must use mod and not one that get's shoved into your face, it's just there and it works for any kind of packs that it's in, W mod

This pack was my first modpack I have ever really gotten into and after replaying I noticed many holes in its progression and incentives for questlines causing for a very boring and stale experience. The kitchen-sinked mod picks throughout the pack are very generic and is a replica of many other modpacks but as a starter it works well to get many people familiar with mods that they would see in other packs but does not stay consistent with the RPG theme with many tech mods and others included. Difficulty spikes occur often within the pack sometimes feeling unfair and just weird and awkward for gameplay and can also bore the player into demotivation.

This was my first introduction to GregTech with nice integration with modern mods and familiar experiences. Lots of progression to go through and many ways to approach energy production and progression in the early game.

Out of all the RPG packs that I have played this one was the one I had the most fun with. Featuring reasonable and linear progression path that actually gives incentives for you to follow the main progression lines and also desirable rewards completing the other quest lines. The only issue I have is that some bosses can be incredibly cheesed while playing multiplayer and weapons and classes can be upgraded to far outclass the boss of the current quest, though this may be an issue with specifically multiplayer and newer updates may have fixed this.

it's a pretty standard kitchen sink. lots of little mods to do. the questlines guide you through a lot of the bigger content mods very well, but smaller ones like dyson cube project or roots have nothing.

the ATM star exists more for spectacle than challenge. it has lots of components that are incredibly difficult to automate, which is why there's an alternative recipe that can be accessed after making some the hard way. the open-ended nature of the ATM star was really fun, it feels like the epitome of kitchen sink packs. use whatever you want and however you want to make a big difficult item.

it's a standard experience. nothing too special other than the big questlines.

It's just a good modpack all around. Interesting and engaging story/scenario, great choice of mods, great quests. The limited space is challenging without being annoying or tedious.
Not necessarily an expert pack but it's so well made that it feels like one.

Great mod, it definitely adds a use to Chainmail. It's better when paired with a mod that allows you to craft chainmail like Chained so that you actually have a higher likelihood of using the slots.
My ONE issue with this mod is that you can't hide the under armour from showing up like you can for most of the stuff that goes into curios slots (like Relics, Artifacts, etc.), so if you're using something like Cosmetic Armor Reworked, it looks really strange.

Pam's Harvestcraft was a great mod that expanded food better than no other back in 1.12, and this sequel is that but for modern versions.

If you want a giant variety of different crops, each being able to be processed in a multitude of ways then you'll probably enjoy this mod. My main issue with it in modern minecraft is how it can feel like it is quantity over quality. Many food items can be processed identically, so why do so many variants exist?

Pam's harvestcraft 2 has, in my opinion, very dated textures that often don't fit in with either old or new minecraft, but especially not with modern mods like Create. This is made worse by so many crafting recipes just being made in the crafting grid, which contributes further to the mod feeling out-of-date.

I would recommend people try this mod, and definitely try it's predecessor but I wouldn't recommend adding it to large packs due to bloat and texture inconsistencies.

Its way too easy, Getting guns was pretty hard, mostly because my 20 IQ brain was struggling with create. very fun all things considered.

getting guns was the best part of this.

Good and fun early game! Easy to ease players into modded minecraft, but post nether, the game simply becomes unfun. The Great Below spawns barely any osmium, so mekanism is nearly an impossibility without permanent invisibility from iron's spells. Some bosses are either bugged or simply deal too much damage, especially for that stage of the game. Some bosses that are required to enter the end (most cataclysm bosses) are extremely buffed to the point of being nigh unkillable. It simply isn't fun anymore to play this.
