Minecraft mods?

• tialaramex 7y ago
  Minecraft modding is fairly out of hand. But that's only for Java (PC) Minecraft where they basically couldn't stop it once it had started. In Minecraft you've got a situation where there is such a vibrant modding community that curation and configuration of mods to produce a complete working system with some particular flavour or theme is a whole separate skill. It's like the skill needed to make a decent container for a particular piece of server software. The right pieces but badly tuned may still be a miserable experience. It's actually very strange now for me in "vanilla" Minecraft because I'm so used to certain features "everybody" mods into the sort of packs I play. Vein mining is an example: Most packs these days recognise that individually mining several adjacent blocks (or similar with other tools e.g. chopping down a tree one block at a time) is busywork, so they eliminate it. Hold down a modifier, hit one block, all identical blocks are affected at a proportionate cost to hunger and wear on the tool used.
