My favorite modpack is definitely the old Tekkit for Minecraft 1.5. I’ve probably spent more hours in Tekkit than any other Minecraft version or modpack.
As for a mod, I wouldn’t say this is my favorite mod, but I want to recommend Chalk. It’s a very simple mod that adds a chalk item, which you can use to draw arrows on the ground. It’s very useful for marking your path when exploring open areas and cave systems.
I’ve been enjoying Create a lot, partially because it’s giving me flashbacks to (one of?) the first huge mods Minecraft had: Better Than Wolves. Besides that ComputerCraft is one that I keep coming back to. I’ve once made a world where I started with a mining turtle and an unbreakable pickaxe that could only remove ComputerCraft things. All the resource gathering and building basically had to be done using Turtles.
I’m going to list some more mods I’ve found that I really like:
Better Harvesting - adds fast leaf decay, vein mining, and automatically replanting crops.
Ambient sounds - adds some much needed ambient noise to the game
Convenient mobGriefing - splits mobgGiefing into multiple gamerules, so you can disable bad mob griefing (like creepers, endermen) but keep OK mob griefing (villiagers, sheep, snow golems)
Comforts - adds sleeping bags so you can skip the night while exploring without setting your spawn.
i like to keep it vanilla, by which i mean i want to be able to still play on vanilla servers. so my favourite mods are interactic, visuality, smooth swapping and others of this nature. making the game look better while keeping the gameplay unaffected
The list of mods I use currently:
- Essential
- neu (Not enough updates)
- OR enchanted (Mod for server called Origin realms)
- OR addons (Mod for server called Origin realms)
- Scrollable tooltips
- full bright
- Continuity
- iris
- borderless window
- that optifabric alternative that i can’t remember the name of
- optifine
Vault hunters for sure
Back In the good old days of Minecraft, Tekkit was great, as was Feed the Beast. A good friend and I had a server we would play on in college - he did everything with magic, and I did everything with technology. We had a pretty awesome base with a big wizard tower for him and a solar panel powered tech lab for me.
Huge fan of Create and Valkyrien Skies. I have a Youtube Channel where I talk about those mods if you’re interested: https://www.youtube.com/c/kwizzlehazzizle
Me and my friend are playing a Create modpack and just discovered Tetra for the first time. It adds so much wonderful complexity to the tools and weapons in the game. It’s honestly so much more streamlined then Tinkerer’s Construct.
