This mod is a godsend for most servers. It makes it way easier to chop down tress, so it prevents floating trees and makes the dealing with mods that add huge tress better (looking at you Biomes o Plenty).

In my experience. ive had some compatibility issues where the mod doesnt recognize this pile of logs as a tree, or recognizes a part of a structure as a tree

This is a compatibility layer for Fabric mods that use Fabric API so they can run on Quilt that generally works 'fine'. You thankfully don't need to also install QSL as this has it packaged.

On 1.12.2, this is a pretty awesome mod that works correctly

On 1.20.1 i had major issues with Carry On. About 90% of all server crashes were caused by bugs with Carry On

On 1.16.5 we had to remove it cause it didnt play well with magma (honestly understandable)

AI Slop mod. Both its assets, mod page, and code are fully AI generated. Any mod that uses enough AI where they need to add specific instructions to their little water hungry worker is not worth your time of day.

JustBetterRecipes for 1.19.2 will attempt to load recipes containing blocks only added in newer versions, therefore spamming the log with errors and breaking other custom recipes.

My issue on the developers github page has been open since Sep 15, 2024 so i dont see this getting fixed

Quark Oddities, like Quark before it doesn't describe the features it adds on its mod page, leading to people jumping to reddit to ask questions about the expansion pack to the mod of mods. None of the features that Oddities adds are noteworthy or particularly game changing to warrant installing.

Oddities is also not a real addon to Quark. The content "added" by Oddities is actually inside Quark meaning the 936 byte "jar" you download (that pays the developers) was completely unnecessary.

This is emblematic of what i would call "big modding" where a team of devs (in this case Violet Moon) try to maximize the money they can squeeze out of their users, by making "pseudoaddons" to bloated mods, depending on unneeded vanilla wrapper 'librarys', and obsessively promoting a Patreon, Patreon integration, and, in Violet Moon's case, even t-shirts.

You could get the same content from this addon as you could with another empty jar that only tricks the game into loading a mod with the quarkoddities id

I dont recommend using Hydrogen anymore now that newer and better replacements have come about.

Does what is says on the tin and adds a Mod Name Tooltip to items and blocks. This makes it way easier for players to know what mod adds what items without checking F3.

I remember seeing a meme a while ago, "What mod adds ____? Its Quark its ******* Quark" I couldnt find it but that should show how large of a mod quark is.

Quark is the epitome of a bloated "QoL" mod that people who dont know better install, then have to spend 5-10 hours troubleshooting, debugging, and configuring the completely random additions of quark, with the additions themselves being very poorly communicated in game.

Quark also doesn't describe the features it adds on its mod page, again leading to people jumping to reddit to ask questions about the mod of mods.

I also also talk about Zeta, the library for Quark 1.21.1 and 1.20.1 only. Zeta has 12.3 Million downloads, despite being pretty new. Zeta adds nothing to Quark or otherwise. Its many undocumented files and mearly wrappers for the existing vanilla files. Ex: ZetaFenceBlock extends FenceBlock, and ZetaFenceBlock is 5 lines of new content. Those downloads give them a nice chunk of change for basically nothing. But dont worry! They also proudly advertise their patreon and ******* tshirts on every mod page.

I suggest installing Quark as way to discover a specific feature, then to uninstall the bloated trash and find a single mod that does that feature you want.

The mod was the driving force of the first modded server Id ever played on. Its pretty easy to modify Origins and customize how they work with datapacks, though i feel many of the Origins addon mods end up being pretty samey. Origins, for better or worse is a classic of modern mc.
