btw I have a whole playlist where I turn Minecraft into different games, its perfect to fall asleep to: kzbin.info/aero/PL6-9RTZd8xyTN_DM_icRjxpRfl6gXuT5R&si=p29IJSwL3wc773sc Mod list in order of the video: Tectonic Terralith Towns & Towers When Dungeons Arise! Distant Horizons Iris Shaders Fabric Waystones Paraglider Traveler's Backpacks Immersive Aircraft All mods are compatible with FABRIC 1.20.1 Btw if there's a mod you think I missed or another one you want me try, tell me in my discord server!: discord.com/invite/RvmU3uN6Hn

Ok

[@Thesamurun]

is that bit the video from other day?

[@dino0909]

try dungeons loading 1% every % there adding a new dungeon with new bosses and new loot its a pretty new mod so try it out i guess

[@LoreFriendlyMusic]

The title says "adventure" game... and I don't think you have turned it into the ultimate adventure game... The helicopter mod arguably makes the game worse, because it takes away most of the challenge of the game. Please make your modpacks make more sense, and actually match the title. Otherwise this is a good mod showcase.

[@bladerjareerofficial2436]

saves lots of time!

[@cryptiouss]

Watching you fly over the biomes made me realize just how empty they actually are. Like I wish Minecraft had herd of animals that you could see traveling together. Or just more animals overall

[@AroxAgain]

Yeah, that's why I tried to fill that void with structures. Unfortunately, it's not perfect.

[@W4leed.]

Try adding mods like Naturalists. They add real life animals into the game with unique behaviours. Unfortunately the mod isn't as good as Alex's mobs but still pretty great.

[@Eternal_Edge69]

If it exists there's a mod of it 🗿

[@thatoneguy9857]

I've yet to see any animal mods that can implement herds in them that can run around as I imagine it to be. It would honestly be so cool and add more life to MC overall.

[@W4leed.]

@@thatoneguy9857 There is one but it only does so for birds and fishes and no other animal unfortunately.

[@WasatchWind]

I think it'd definitely be cool to play with these mods, but I think the only thing that will get you what you truly want is handcrafted worlds. Adventure maps used to be such a big thing back in the day, but for some reason they're pretty sparse now. Minecraft vanilla can get you some awesome randomly generated stuff, and mods can get you further - But actually exploring a world someone has constructed for you, with specific challenges, and even story, is something else. I'm really sad there's so little of it, considering how great of tools we have now.

[@sahilrahman5066]

Oh those are just so different from playing normally, it gives you a feeling of Actually exploring a world with a life in it

[@vijayk625]

Could you please recommend any such worlds? I know Scavanna's sphere.... I just hope to see more like them.

[@stalkervalley]

It's a great Minecraft modpack, but in my opinion, it's missing what I find the most important type of mods. They are mods for NPCs and entities. Imagine bosses, improved villagers, dragons to slay, monsters to conquer, knights, and NPCs to talk or fight with. These are what I personally think that truly make a world alive, not just the empty structures.

[@ort_cool9337]

what mods add this things to the game?

I usually use BetterNether/AmplifiedNether and BetterEnd/Nullscape for the same effect as the modlist in the video for other dimensions. Better Trees (modrinth datapack) is also good for making vanilla forests more "foresty" if you wanted to expand on stuff provided by this modlist.

the village you showed for towns and towers is actually the fortified village from terralith

[@amlet1238]

[@Dark_Hood121]

Mmhmmm hard to say you know?

[@jipthechip7448]

These mods are great, but most of them aren't anything new or special, save for distant horizons with shaders. What we really need more of are mods that add objectives, progression, entities to interact with, and activities to do so you actually have some direction and reason to explore

[@cool3Dhorse]

Its hard to do it in a "Minecrafty" way but you can check a mod called "beneath the wetlands" it adds a cool boss and cool structures that you don't need modded weapons for the boss

[@tygrdragon]

thanks so much for making this video! I've been trying to make a modpack like this one for soo long now, and these mods worked perfectly for it! these mods are so cool too!

[@dillanvanwijnen6692]

I would choose sophisticated backpacks and chest, great mod with a lot of upgrades

[@saltylightning7992]

If you can get it working (since it is kind of unstable for me at least) using eureka + valkyrian skies can allow you to make your own airships and boats, and with regions unexplored + tectonic, you get the closest i can find to terraforged

[@oitzblack]

"This is towns and towers" proceeds to show a Terralith village at 1:10

[@ItsAsteri_]

1:25 thats a fortified village from terralith lmfao

[@creepi_lp5091]

yea, like you turned MC into a walking/fliying sim with dungeons that you can battel. sounds FUN right? BUT: it is not well integratet into the normal gameplayloop. you still have to go underground for example. (i understand that this might not in the scope for that type of content) try to add some mods that add the exploration need with mor complex/interesting mechnics that are realy well integrated. for example: "iron tome: spell books" for mid-game or "alex-caves" for end/post-game. even create has little things that make you explore and find. building a solid and integrated exploration modpack can for example look like this: 1. needs to explore at short/mid distances and for long distances in end/post-game 2. MANY MANY little things that generate. good number of normal sized things and a solid number of BIG things to explore 3. repeat 1 and 2 for as many aspekts of the game as posible (nether, mining, ocean, normal land, end, ...) 4. make sure that everything fits in your vision and theam for the modpack

[@Spika94]

In a response to the rewards being lackluster in some buildings: I saw someone else say this somewhere, I forget where, but they said "Minecraft has a lot of ways to give sh*t, but not much sh*t to give" (I forget the exact quote, but it was brilliant).

[@scooupa]

I have recently started playing Terraria and trust me I enjoy exploring it so much, If Minecraft had some aspects of Terraria It would've been the Perfect Sandbox Game

[@cool3Dhorse]

This looks good but you should really add more too it. Even small things like astrocraft (cooler skies) could benefit the modpack

One cool thing is that dungeons arise has some much rarer and higher difficulty dungeons that actually have pretty decent loot, up to diamond, netherite, and unbreakable armour pieces with prot 10 enchants, when paired with other mods that let you disenchant items to put onto your main gear, and mods to farm mob drops and recycle the rare loot, it becomes a very useful mod for modpacks with a much more ambitious end-game progression

tectonic+ terralith are a good combo, but if you try jjthunder you will not regret after trying that

[@pandagaminggaming1427]

For me, I think that Minecraft is a beautiful game itself, and that mods don’t really make it any better. The only thing that mods do is tweak the game a little bit so you can see the inner beauty of the game. Sometimes you just need to try to find the beauty of Minecraft by searching far and wide. And once you find it, you’ll look back and appreciate what Mojang has done for you and what they have given you. Remember that 25 dollars is a small price to pay for your childhood.

[@axisfling]

i’m definitely here for the cake eating content 😂😂😂

[@RhinoBhaiOfficial]

Baby where is my glasses it's has been 2,000 years

[@Delta-nv3hz]

Y'know, when people say "The community makes the game", it's usually something along the lines of if players didnt pay, thered be no game, multiplayer is good, blah blah blah, but with minecraft, the community actually seems to be making more of the game then the developers themselves. Without dedicated players, mods wouldnt exist, and minecraft would never reach it's full potential

[@AroxAgain]

"Minecraft modders are better than the developers" has been a sentiment all the back since 1.5. I guarantee you that Minecraft wouldn't be nearly as respectable as a game right now if people like PopularMMOs and DanTDM didn't massively popularize the Minecraft modding scene all those years ago. Those videos are kind of the reason I got into modding in the first place. I can say with certainty that Minecraft as a game has so much potential as we've seen with the huge modding scene, and it's a shame that the actual developers behind it aren't realizing it.

[@A-chef-plays]

Both devs & the community make the game what it is today, Minecraft vanilla is & has always been popular, & ofc with modding, players can make their own creations but it’s only done with the tools & canvas the devs have provided. I wouldn’t say the devs do less, they just do the bare minimum bc they don’t want the game to lose its minecrafty feel, & it’s sadly already gotten to ppl that Minecraft isn’t the same anymore, so it’s important for the devs to maintain the sole of the game & hard focus on features that’ll for sure fit the game.

[@A-chef-plays]

@@AroxAgainI disagree with ur last statement, if the devs didn’t acknowledge the modding scene, cojomax (tropicraft mod dev), kingbdogz (aether creator), & possibly more wouldn’t be in the vanilla dev team rn. Also bedrock addons wouldn’t have been official, like they did just recently. Modding is definitely something they acknowledge, but if they do much as touch the aspect of modding on Java, ppl will assume Mojang or Microsoft will turn it into a pay to service. So it’s lily why it SEEMS like they don’t acknowledge it, but they truly do, especially since they’ve delve deep in the technical aspect of the game more recently.

[@toadking1006]

Theres is an actual reason why the villages look boring and ugly which i personally also needed some time to understand. If you find an nice looking village then you can just settle there, and you‘ll never need to build a house for yourself, which is not what you should do. As an example i have an server with my friend and our plan is to upgrade an taiga village and use our ideas to create something new with the tectonic terrain giving us ideas (yes, server is modded), so you guys need to decide if you want to build the world yourself or just find nearly perfect structures pre-made. (But awesome video just wanted to share my thoughts)

[@evjay9793]

can you make a modpack, because distant horizons, iris, and indium are not compatible no matter what versions I try and look for

[@rushdeguardian8386]

I would recommend 'Icarus' and 'Do a barrel roll' for the travel section.

[@pasticle]

1:34 never lol, even with actual minecraft the creativity is at a 2nd place with how fucked the progression and farms system is, so adding basically no need to build yourself a decent base would kill the vanilla vibe, or it should be at least 3x more rare than mansions to be in the game tbh

[@AroxAgain]

That's true, but it's mainly meant to serve as scenery, making the world around you feel much less dead. There's no way to enforce it but the feel this modpack is meant to convey is that of never settling down anywhere, and just continuing to explore.
