This one is so similar to BuildCraft that it is BuildCraft ^^

Gameplay

Aesthetics

• outdated textures (like buildcraft)

I hope this mod gets a texture and aesthetic update later on.
This mod constantly updates and introduces new / old features, which is awesome.

They recently added energy consumption for pipes which i will definitely look into.

• dyeable multiple times & trimable

Perfect for friends who want to spice up their interactions between each other.

Gameplay

• various fun pvp items

Performance

This mod brings in 2 whole new counterparts to the breeze.

Gameplay

• Perfect vanilla friendly integration for both bore's & brine's
• The Brine's are hard to kill cause of their speed (use the whip)

Performance

Aesthetics

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)

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• vanilla like textures (a bit outdated nowadays)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.
