I've used this mod in the past, but found that it had trouble with some containers that I'd use it on in my modded Minecraft modpacks. The sorting would either fail to work or it would take items from my own inventory and move that around when sorting a container. Still, it's better than nothing and when it works, it works well! To be honest, I usually disable this mod when I encounter it.

For anyone who plays extensively stressful Minecraft modpacks, this is a requirement! It's very common for servers (and single-player worlds) to start lagging under heavy loads when featuring heavy usage of tech mods! Also, problems can arise when using mods that have not been optimized for performance. Spark comes in and allows you to run profiling tests to see exactly what processing jobs on your server are causing lag.

The only problem that I have with this mod is that I have trouble reading the data that the profiler gathers, even while using the Spark guide!

I LOVE Observable! It's extremely easy to use and gives a comprehensive benchmark of every single block entity in any of your Minecraft worlds and dimensions! There have been many many times where I was struggling to find out what machine in my complex automation setup was causing TPS lag on my server.

I tried using Spark, and while Spark is VERY powerful, it can be overwhelming to look at and confusing to dissect! Observable gives players the "stress" values they need and a .txt file outlining all loaded entities causing lag! You'll be surprised to see how much lag your character itself can create!

I docked half a star from performance because the GUI overlay showing the stress info can lag your client, but it's still completely usable and can be disabled!

Here's a mod that resolves an issue that has been present in Minecraft since the beginning. A player joins a popular server, leaves spawn and goes hunting for dungeons and villages. However, said player finds that everything has already been extensively looted and picked clean! Lootr comes in to resolve this and executes this job perfectly! I've never had an issue with this mod that wasn't just user error! I always bring this mod into any modpack I play with friends!

This mod brings a large variety of cooking recipes and foods to create. The meals always looks delicious and is fun to make too! Minecraft doesn't have many options when it comes to this area, so having the opportunity to expand upon the vanilla choices is always welcome! Live your cooking dreams and become the chef of your group!

I would say the only problem I find with this mod is that automation is fairly hard to do with the base mod. The pot you use for cooking doesn't like formatted recipes and prefers to have players place things manually.

Talk about an absolutely stunning showcase of AE2 potential! Adding Quantum Computers, Assembler Matrix, Quantum Armor, and more just keeps AE2 fresher than ever! If anyone felt like they were getting tired of AE2 (impossible, I know!) or finished AE2 progression, this mod adds an additional layer that refreshes the progression and allows for even more optimization and complex recipe handling! Plus the armor is arguably some of the best ever! Not a must have, but certainly a HUGE positive to have in any modpack!

I've never had a playthrough with AE2 that didn't have this complimenting it! Perfect QoL and additional machinery to enhance the already wonderful and perfect AE2! I love this mod so much, especially all the extended pattern providers and wireless connectors. Saves a lot of headache where the original AE2 would make players go the extra mile with using the basic, non-extended machinery. This should all be in regular AE2 already, it's just that good!

I always use this mod whenever I can for viewing my player's saturation values. Works perfectly as advertised, been using it for years and never had an issue once. Honestly surprised it isn't incorporated into vanilla because it's just that good!

Project Expansion adds additional ProjectE QoL, items, functionality, and tech compatibility! It's a fantastic addition to ProjectE for anyone who wants to integrate it more into their automated setups and wants more features and progression out of ProjectE! I find that it's a must have! The performance could be better under heavy load, but if you aren't sending through tens of thousands of items through a transmutation interface!

ProjectE, a fork of Equivalent Exchange 2, perfectly captures the energy, no pun intended, of Alchemy and equivalent exchange. This mod is incredibly fun to play with, albeit a bit too OP to add into modpacks. Want to feel like a real Alchemist? You'll be set with this! Adds a ton of classic items as well, such as dark and red matter armor, weapons, and tools, and rings that enable various abilities! Live like a god with this mod!
