The overall quality and dedication put into these videos are beyond words. The cinematic views of locations, very balanced video cuts, echoed audio in caves - this all makes your vids 10/10. Didn't notice a 40 minutes video pass so quickly. Keep up the good work!

[@GrimmSmile]

If a modpack has a specific design intended by it's maker, then you must state some of the fundamental changes on the modpacks info page. This allows the pack maker to design it how they see fit and informs the users of any annoyances they may run into. Having a troubleshooting area with fixes is an easy way for players to adjust the pack, without needing to comment.

[@gigglesgames1]

I recently got into modded Minecraft. And man the whole “don’t assume your players know how things work” is so true. Almost every prebuilt mod pack I’ve tried was just a bunch of random mods stuck together. Like prominence 2 and BMC. There was no rhyme or reason. And I had to keep multiple tabs open to just look up what each major mod I was using did or what a specific item did. Which is fine. But it was so overwhelming and then there’d be weird keybind issues

[@The_Azure_]

Ugh, that keybind issue is literally in every modpack. Thankfully we can now filter by key, name or category. It used to be so much worse. Welcome to modded.

[@gigglesgames1]

@@The_Azure_ yeah. I’ve learned to stick with some simple vanilla plus mods I’ll always use and then make one major mod my focus. IE create, bewitchment, etc etc. I also learned I don’t like villager things. It’s so broken lol. Like when they’re massive cities or more trades

[@starofaetherius]

the invisble spider is vanilla behavior actually! the higher the local difficulty value of the area youre in (which slowly goes up as you stay in an area), the more likely spiders spawn with potion effects! it can happen from like night 1 on hard difficulty. it is weighted towards giving invisibility, but they can also have strength so... have fun with that :P

[@snailelle]

as a diagnosed ADHDer there are a few ways it can affect your brain. hyperactive ADHD is your stereotypical, has trouble sitting still without fidgeting, poor short-term memory, trouble focusing if the task isn't engaging enough. innatentive ADHD flies under the radar as people who suffer from it don't struggle with sitting still, have less trouble with motivation, but still deal with short-term memory issues. both types of ADHD (from my experience with hyperactive and having friends with innatentive) go into a "hyperfocus" mode where they sort of turn off the rest of the world in favor of getting a specific task done. of course if any of this resonates with you i highly recommend seeing a professional bc honestly just having a name for the issues i had made them way easier to target and deal with. hope my word vomit helped!

Well for Java there is a mod pack called Prominence 2 which is close to that. It’s actually incredible and I’d highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t

[@TheKindKeyz]

I honestly really respect the mindset. Even though you don't complete your past challenges, you make it even harder each time you try again. A really great way to get really good at Minecraft. Learn new tactics, strategies, and way to complete the game, even with all the mods making it harder.

[@BigElu7]

Man I love your survival videos, and those mods that you added make minecraft so much more attractive to play long term ! I'm a big Terraria fan too so I completely agree with you. You should also show your shaders settings if you modified them. Big love man

[@Sunn1z]

The invisible spider is a pretty rare mob :O AND YOU GOT TO SEE ONE OMG

[@joaocomtil_]

The Spawn Animations mod makes all of the monsters invisible until they get closer to you. That spider was probably affected by the Spawn invisibility, and that's also why there are almost no mobs at night. They're there, just invisible.

[@The_1_AndOnly_0]

@@joaocomtil_ yeah spawn animation makes them FULLY invisible until closer, spider can spawn with the invis potion effect, making only its eyes visable.

[@joaocomtil_]

@@The_1_AndOnly_0 The spider can spawn with invisibility in vanilla, but Spawn Animations doesn't change the fact that the eyes aren't affected. It is also the reason for the invisible enderman later in the video. It can't turn mobs like these completely invisible because it's kind of a datapack disguised as a mod

[@oweneaton8564]

With the animations mod, it’s fully invisible, but I’m pretty sure invisible spiders, along with strengthened and speedy spiders. Come out on full moons in vanilla.

[@joaocomtil_]

@@oweneaton8564 Are they? I thought they weren't cause when I play with this mod I can see the enderman's eyes, so I thought it would apply to spiders as well

[@ElijahMenchavez-f4e]

Love how this modpack makes it so that you actually spend quite a while in the early game. Progression is one of the main problems I’ve had with Minecraft survival.

first one of your videos i've ever seen, super refreshing and fun. hope the algorithm has picked up on me liking it after subscribing... i find that some creators just don't get that boost up, but you seem to be doing great and i hope that doesn't fade away ❤ quick add on: forgot to say i also love terraria and share your preferences, it's definitely the best of both worlds this way

[@thisiskret]

5:51 The one thing holding me back from entering another 2 week (modded) minecraft phase is the prep. One too many stale runs and I'm spending hours finding, configuring, fixing, tweaking new mods that at the end, I'm too drained to actually play the game- and the next day when I boot it up, I'm somehow already bored and I feel like I've done nothing. Pre-made modpacks like yours easily fix that first problem (second one i'll get to in a bit) and a new version of BA would be sick. I feel most modpacks try way too hard or don't try enough, with BA being the perfect inbetween, and also perfect base/foundation for installing other mods on top of it since the prep of all the QoL non-gameplay or FPS stuff is so long and tedious. I also feel the effects of never having been a survival kid in minecraft. I've always played creative mode or on servers and that's stuck with me. And Now that i'm bored of those as well, I'd love to see a video on how laziness and impatience affects your early-adulthood playthroughs of present day minecraft, modded or not. I'm definetly feeling them, and I'm pretty sure it's not just me. The sudden, almost instant loss of motivation and inspiration as soon as you get the chance to become complacent with your world is way too strong to just be a me thing. And as always, Great video and i'm looking forward to your new stuff !

[@Nox2000YT]

This made be play hardcore with my friends and we decided to make it harder (I didn't add all of your mods, the main hard part was First Aid, which replaces your healthbar with individual body parts). It made me sit back and relax farming and making foods with farmer's delight for my friends who just kept exploring getting me different plants for their food choices. One of my friends barely plays modded minecraft, so they were baffled by the amount of saturation farmer's delight's foods give you, especially the ones with beetroot in the recipe. 10/10 video.

[@Nemilus]

Also maybe make a seperate modpack called smtn like "Flows Better Minecraft" or something which includes all mods and resource packs you like and would want in Minecraft, because many of the features like no crosshair, LevelZ, and Farmers Delight I would love, and its more of a hassle to add your own mods into a modpack because then you cannot update it to newer versions.
