Minecraft Mod & Modpack Reviews

This mod is quite different.
It lets you convert planted saplings into living ones.

Gameplay

• Living Trees are not spawning normally.
• Plant spruce sapling -> throw amethyst shard onto it -> it converts

Performance

• Gets laggier the more trees you have in one spot
• only vanilla blocks used (compat friendly)

Aesthetics

• Beautifully designed spruce trees with variety
• Good use of vanilla blocks

Straightforward -> upgraded furnaces with multipliers, so you can produce more in less time and less space.

Gameplay

• 4 chest stages (max 11 rows)
• 4 furnace stages (max 8 times faster)
• various gui buttons (sorting, filter, search, stack, transfer)

Performance

• better than vanilla chests

Aesthetics

• oldschool vibes
• not vanilla like (also different chest texture)

Custom mod for Project Towny, description says its not intended to be used outside of Project Towny and that's exactly right.

Has some small tweaks like the Gold Standard and has a basic war system that's planned to be overhauled for the next version of Project Towny.

One of the best mods out there. Played it the most on 1.7.10

Gameplay

• gives you more space in a vanilla like approach
• create linked storage networks with great mod compat

Performance

• still way better than chests ^^
• could be a bit laggy if overdone on one spot (tested 1.7.10)

Aesthetics

• vanilla like textures (a bit outdated nowadays)

Gameplay

• Armor Reworked
• Armor Mastery

Its hard to figure out which armor piece does what without a ingame documentation.
Besides the missing tooltip its great.

I was a huge fan of MCEternal years back. So I was super excited to hear this being worked on and released. It is a great pack. It has a really comfy, cozy, and eccentric aesthetic to it that I enjoy. Effort was put in and it's noticeable. On launch it was a little barren on quests. Sure there were quite a few but some gaps. It is more filled now but still could use some more work in that department. It i s a great pack receiving frequent updates but I'd consider it in a late beta right now. For sure worth a play at this point in time but it will continue maturing with time.

Haven't completed this yet but am committed to completing it. It's an overall fun expert pack. Really well put together and thought through(mostly). Yes it's tedious but that is an expert pack for you. The only thing bringing me down to a 4 star is the magic chunk. You spend the first ~10 chapters really getting a grip on the whole pack and exploring. Then you get to the automation. Sure there is some in the first 10 chapters but chapter 10+ is where the real automation starts. And it's fun. And then chapter 15 hits with blood magic hits. And automation turns to manual until the end of chapter 17. Which would be fine but a good chunk of stuff needed for chapter 15, 16, and 17 requires so much manual tedious work refilling the blood pool and tartaric gems until the well of suffering and will generation are unlocked at the end of 17. This is where I am currently. It took a bit to convince myself not to drop it after enjoying all the machines and automation of the previous 5 chapters. But I have unlocked those bits of automation and am back in the grind.

Entity Culling is useful when you don’t see a mob, so it’ll help performance with a lot of dark spots or your living above a cave. I mean it doesn’t do much besides that but it helps a bunch when you need it.

Really well made modpack. What I think every modpack should strive to be. Everything included in the pack is integrated in such a good and cohesive way where nothing feels like it's just thrown in randomly. Everything is put together so well into each other. Create is integrated into the core gameplay loop really well, Iron armor requires Iron plate, giving chainmail a good use in between leather and iron, Diamond requires mechanical crafters, all of the alloys including netherite require a mixer. The enchanting system is by far my favorite enchanting system I've seen in a modpack (and I'm very excited it got turned into its own mod). The change to tool/armor progression is a really nice change. Each armor material having it's own unique protection, tool materials filling different purposes (rose gold having innate silk touch for example), and not to mention the unique weapons you can make with the different alloys is such a good addition. All in all I think I have to say Raspberry Flavoured will go down as probably one of, if not my most favorite modpacks I've played.

I love the performance it squeezes for us users, and it’s a mod you could use if you want better stability and FPS, but it’s not fully needed if you just want 2 or 4 performance mod, but I do love this mod.
