Modded Minecraft

I tired this pack called "Cottage Witch" on Steam Deck with a few extra mods such as Controllable and Distant Horizons and it seems to be a good enough experience. Unfortunately I have to throttle my system to have decent battery life - otherwise it would only last for 100 minutes. With throttling and reducing the frame rate to what I would expect from my "gaming PC" it would last for 3.5 hours.

Working on my skyblock modpack, Rotary Skies. I like how The End is turning out. It has a beautiful, ominous, liminal look.

Essentially just the title. Why might one want to use Fabric or Forge over the other? Does one have better support for X features over the other? What are the differences in philosophy of the two projects that led to these differences?

Thinking about making a skyblock modpack centered on rotarycraft. I've done some checking and haven't really found anything quite like what I'm envisioning. I'd like to use Meteorcraft, another one of Reika's mods, as your main source of ore so as to break out of the rut Skyblock packs tend to run into. Thoughts?

Hi, so I have posted a link in my mastodon to a new version of forge that includes an early window display. This is much improved from previous versions, and should work well for all modern minecraft scenarios, but I want some testing and validation. As such, please download and test it, and give us your feedback.

I hope to have some fun in 1.20 myself. Been kinda disconnected the last year or so, but I have plans, that'll make steamdeck control input a bit more fun.

I had a lot of fun with Tekkit 2 and this was my final base!

Some content for the sub. One of my proudest builds.

Anyone have links to any documentation for getting modded MC to run on a steam deck? There are some mods I'd love to play with that just eat too much RAM on my little MacBook. Particularly if there's a guide for getting technic launcher mods running that would be great, but if it comes down to it I'd be willing to manually put together the mods I'm interested in. Thanks!

A remake of an old favorite, Fuzs has updated the Mutant Beasts mod for modern versions of Minecraft for Forge and Fabric.

This mod adds in several boss versions of vanilla mobs that have a small chance to spawn instead of their standard counterparts. These boss mobs are surprisingly well made and when killed they drop powerful albeit gimmicky weapons. This mod also has a good config allowing you to change the spawn rate of each mob.

In my personal packs I like to turn down most of the mutants' odds of spawning in order to make each encounter feel more special and so I'm less likely to get bodied in the early game.

As per title. I'm back to modded after a few years, but I'm rather clueless on which version is currently popular.

Bonus question: what are the most common industrial mods nowadays? And are people building their own packs, or downloading them whole?

What mod or update to a mod are you most looking forward to? The update I most look forward to is Create. The mock-ups of giant flying bases looks great.
