Minecraft Mod & Modpack Reviews

This pack is really fun to play. While it seems like just a typical kitchen sink pack, there is a lot of care put into the quests, unique content, and integrating it all into a single experience. There are a handful of recipe changes to integrate different mods into each other's progression which is a neat thing. The quests are really well made and give you a decent introduction the the different mods. The selection of mods included are really nice. There's new ones that were fun to check out, and some old classic ones. The pack offers so much variety in what you can do. Magic, Tech, Adventure, Fighting, etc and doesn't try to lean too much in any direction. The pack does tend to perform rather badly mainly due to the old minecraft version and just the amount of mods the pack has.

At many moments me and other players were very confused as to how to acquire half of the weapons in this mod and not knowing if something was still WIP or Creative only and finding very scarce info online. Turns out half of this mod weaponry is just not obtainable in survival for some reason but I don't believe that subtracts from the general experience much. It really nails the aesthetics all around. The Cosmetic armor sets are beautiful and the extra spell schools and spells available are very fun to play with. It's a worthy inclusion in any pack running Iron's at it's core despite the confusion around some points.

A pretty good modpack with some fun bosses. Well, I mean, they would be fun if the pack wasn't so unbalanced. The eye progression is a good concept, except it doesn't lock you from becoming too overpowered, even in the early game. For example, the Tetra mod lets you get 20+ damage on a sword. Combine that with accessories that make the weapon even stronger, and you can kill almost any boss in two seconds. It makes them absolutely boring, to the point where you have to purposely nerf yourself just to get a little bit of a challenge. As for optimization, it’s good, but nothing new. It runs about the same as any other big modpack.

Since it first released I've been following thus project with great delight.
Minecraft without needing combat is trully a interesting way to play and it was coquered in a extremely cozy way. Gifting mobs treats so you receive their stuff and sometimes paintings is satisfying
The field guide is also a really engaging way to continue exploring your world, the want to catalogue every piece of nature, fauna, mineral and foods.
Building has also been made easier and more enjoyable.
Basically, play Gentle Brew, Kelpie did a awesome job with this pack and it is one of my all time favourites!!

Rhino is an incredible powerful utility, allowing javascript to be included in mods, making KubeJS and others possible. It works very well most of the time, and does what it sets out to do.

However, this mod doesn't conform to any version of the javascript specification, with weird differences in scoping and it often being unclear which features are supported and which are not.

This mod is still far better than similar mods which add support for scripting languages, as being able to use a more mature language like javascript is a giant bonus over crafttweaker's zenscript in my opinion.

This mod is the best available for what it does, it would just be nice if it properly covered at least one version's specification fully.

Yung's API provides a plethora of features for use in their own mods, but also makes them decently useful for use by mod or pack creators.

The overhauled jigsaw system with increased limits and performance has been a lifesaver when creating large structures for exploration packs.

One issue with this mod is a lack of documentation, however you can somewhat easily look at the source code of this mod and those than depend on it to get an idea of how it is used.

I would recommend this mod to exploration pack creators and structure mod devs, even if you don't play on using Yung's structure mods.

Supplementaries adds many random things, as the description said, some useful, some mainly just deco.

The faucet in this mod can actually be really useful for filling containers with water or transferring fluids short distances. The sack is incredibly useful as an early game shulker which is balanced by weighing you down if you hold too many.

One issue is how hit and miss some of the additions can be, I never end up using some of the things like the spring launcher because they don't feel nearly as useful as some other additions.

Overall, very nice mod for vanilla+ and utility, but some of the additions may go unused, especially in larger packs.

Storage drawers is a staple of tech and cozy packs alike. The ability to store and filter items in bulk often makes this mod invaluable, especially in skyblock or expert packs. However, I also find myself using this mod in non-tech playthroughs, for the sheer utility it has when it comes to organising storage and finding items at a glance.

For the most part, this mod performs incredibly well but at times with many drawers down, rendering all the items (and quantities if that is enabled) can cause quite a bit of lag.

My favourite feature of this mod has got to be the compacting drawers, they can be so useful for automation and bulk storage, allowing for easy conversion (especially with nuggets to ingots to blocks). They can sometimes confuse storage systems into thinking they have more items than they actually do because of reporting this, however.

Overall this mod is a great utility and I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants more control over their storage and logistics.

(Pack version 12.1)
Pros:

• Automating the technium tiers is fun
• Researcher mechanic is interesting
• Good spread of comfort mods

Cons:

• Some machines feel arbitrarily slow and you need lots of parallels
• The solidifiers from the casting mod can get laggy (the largest mspt contributor in my run)
• The quality of the questbook wavers closer to the end
• The pack wants to be a peaceful pack, but then adds hostile mobs at the endgame.
• No magnet disabler, but some mandatory automation setups require in-world dropped items

Gameplay

• Discover each gateway once (each structure can only be found once)
• Each gateway is linked to a random one

Performance

• runs smoothly

Aesthetics

• Beautiful variations of the gateway structures
• Nice particle effects
• Unexpected & nice to hear sounds

This mod is unique cause it adds gateways variations which only spawn once.
So you have a limited amount of them & you can not replace them like waystones for example.
