The fact this mod is even possible on clientside is incredibly poignant and shows how poorly all these 'player safety' mechanisms have even been introduced.

These chat restrictions should not be a thing on private servers and this mod fixes this. I would advise everyone uses this mod rather than handing Microsoft any more of their personal data if they can help it.

This mod does what it says on the tin and I wish there was a way for me to guarantee this was automatically installed any time I play modern Minecraft. The fact the option to easily disable telemetry without a mod isn't in the base game is ridiculous.

Install this mod.

When I'm on servers I never play without this mod. This mod prevents your chat messages from being reportable by possible but also warns you when the server doesn't support this. It is incredibly useful because of how possible it is (especially on modded) for your messages to be tampered with and for you to be falsely reported.

There's no reason to play without this mod, simple and useful.

This mod is a godsend for server owners, when new players join modded worlds they are often placed into a desolate spawn, ransacked 5k blocks in every direction. This mod does a good amount of work to fix that.

The fact this mod supports different types of storage such as chests and barrels and in a lot of cases successfully automatically detects when it needs to replace the loot blocks in structures meaning it can often work without any configs. Although in the few times it hasn't worked automatically it can be a giant pain to get working...

This mod makes me wonder whether something similar for valuable blocks in structures would be possible, though that'd be much harder to implement.

If you ever play modded adventure servers, use this.

This map mod is absolutely unbeatable for immersion and aesthetics, it is so pleasing to look at while still conveying all the information you really need from a map mod. This mod also has full support for texture packs if you want to add a splash of colour and the ability to add new textures for custom biomes.

Unfortunately this doesn't come with a minimap by default, although there are addons available to add this functionality. Sharing way points can also be a pain but this isn't a deal breaker.

I would recommend this mod for anyone who values immersion or finds the typical map mods too overpowered.

This mod is essential when playing with large mods with many controls. Being able to easily search for controls is amazing, and being able to see all the things bound to the same key is also incredibly useful.

This mod is just an all around useful clientside utility and I routinely find myself adding it to packs I want to play so I can more easily configure my keybinds at the start of the pack!

There's no reason to not include this mod in any pack.

This mod is an adequate storage tech mod, and for the vast majority of players it will just play like AE2. My issue with this mod is it offers nothing new over mods like AE2 and the lack of some of AE2's more complex features like subnets can really hold it back for certain use cases.

For people who don't understand AE2's channels and don't want to edit the configs, this mod does work. But I find AE2 without channels plays better and performs better than this mod anyway.

I've only ever had this mod cause one major issue, but that issue was the wiping of everyone's storages randomly halfway through an expert pack. Luckily, I had setup backups on the server but if that hadn't been the case it would've been catastrophic. Performance is normally okay, but can get laggy with big systems.

This mod is good, but I've been spoiled by AE2. Its good enough in packs that don't have AE2 but I'd always use this as second choice.

AE2 has cemented itself as the go-to storage tech mod, and for good reason. The original Applied Energistics was the forerunner for mods like this and the sequel expanded on it in every way.

The channel system in the mod pushes you towards designing more efficient (and performant) storage systems, rather than spamming expensive block entities. Some people dislike this, but even if thats the case it's entirely configurable. Even without the channel system, AE2 is - in my experience - the most performant storage mod.

The way networks work is incredibly powerful, with subnets allowing for incredibly powerful but simple setups, allowing you to easily expand and modularise your storage rather than just making wire spaghetti.

My main gripe with this mod is how slow automating some of its machines can be, though addons solve this problem entirely. Some performance issues occur with giant storage setups, but that's to be expected and it's much better than mods like Simple/Refined Storage from my testing.

Would highly recommend for any tech/expert pack that needs a storage tech mod!

I first discovered this mod through playing a modpack, and I remember finding the nether fruit making the experience of staying in the nether for extended periods much more enjoyable. Rambutan especially was my favourite, and the shield is actually a really interesting and useful item.

The integration with Farmer's Delight and Create is small, but definitely appreciated. The potion brewing is definitely a unique addition, however the cures are a lot more expensive than milk in most cases.

However, when you realise this is an MCreator mod like I did, after experiencing more crashes than is reasonable for a small food mod, you'll understand why I cannot give this mod a higher rating in good faith. This mod caused many, sometimes random issues and mod incompatibility was far higher than it should be for a mod like this. Additionally, some of the content just feels weird, like the full armour and tool set made out of a fruit that almost looks like cheese?

Overall, interesting mod, if this was made not using MCreator then I would be able to recommend it. If you want to try it, take regular world backups and play it in a smaller pack.

This mod certainly does add a lot of new blocks, and I would agree it is a lot better than similar mods like Rechiseled texture-wise. The crafting benches for getting new blocks are very nicely textured and modelled and fit very well thematically. Additionally, the extra foliage designs can be really nice for adding variations, and the case where a new texture has been made for a single block palette is normally done really well.

However, all mods like this suffer from the issue of quantity > quality and many of the textures have odd contrast or just feel too alike. Furthermore, sometimes when building these extra blocks make it harder to create cohesive block palletes due to choice paralysis and having so many similar options, which can actually make building more frustrating. Lastly, the variations on things like foliage and dripstone often aren't understood by other mods correctly due to tagging, so it can sometimes lead to unintended frustration.

I would recommend this mod only if there are some specific block textures in it you are looking for, otherwise I'd focus on getting more mods that add unique variation to different blocks rather than providing same-y recolours of a few patterns.
