Revisiting Old Minecraft Modpacks

[@Stromoto]

I know my narration skills are very questionable, but LISTEN I have a good excuse because its something I've never really done before (apart from the mrbeast vid) and my mic is broken. Anyways, Thanks for watching :)

[@wn950]

It wasn’t bad at all for your first times doing it although ik you can do better

[@rnjit7256]

Start a fund me so you can get a blue yeti microphone

[@gam3gob00m4]

The Factorio music caught me by suprise i thought i left my game running again XD

[@juaneskator]

You sound good, I'm a voice actor and I really enjoyed your narration.

[@Stromoto]

Im flattered thanks :D

[@teepman1111]

Tekkit reached the height of it's popularity when Yogscast started playing through it. I would attribute a fair amount of the rise of Minecraft modding popularity to them.

[@SAY-AZ-VEGA]

yeah, i never saw a video of yogscast but in my mind modpacks were popular because of him

[@grandmasterautistwizard4291]

Dude, Jaffa factory was fucking awesome.

[@marvelousball]

Yogcast was not as big as you remember. Nostalgia bias

[@honeycrisp808]

​@@marvelousballThe original first episode of their tekkit playthrough has 12 million views.

[@MrFrizads]

They were literally the original biggest minecraft channel. Respect history.​@@marvelousball

[@arandomcrusader8822]

Hexxit: 69 mods "Big modpack" made me age a bunch of years right there

[@rawrthedinosawr9659]

it's hard for me to even find modpacks under 100 mods these days

[@RomanTheNotARoman]

@@rawrthedinosawr9659 Back then though, those mods were absolutely huge relative to the content in minecraft at the time. Nowadays there are so many more QoL and library/framework mods.

[@a_few_species]

Yeah. Reminds me that time i installed 270 mods, and was so proud of myself, that I fixed all id and mod conflicts. But the game itself wasn't any playable. It was possible to walk, but blocks and mobs updated once per minute.

[@lazlotakahashi4150]

I played all of these, but the Crafting Dead will always hold a special place in my heart, I was a huge fan of TWD and that mod really did it for me. But seeing it just become nothing is so depressing lol.

[@Stromoto]

Crafting Dead was the shit back then, sad to see it go :(

[@thedob3l]

Crafting dead was great but for me personally i loved Decimation (formerly Escape from Novikov). It was a zombie apocalypse mod like crafting dead and imo much better just extremely underrated.

[@kvin96]

Tekkit is evolution of THE Technic pack, which was first to integrate all those techmods you mentioned, plus some more (millenaire and the like). Tekkit was meant to be server-compatible Technic before kind of abandoning adventure-type mods, which were compiled in another notorious modpack YogBox

[@Stromoto]

I've heard of technic but I didn't know it was the predecessor of tekkit

[@NinoJoel]

2:18 Tekkit was the first mod pack I did not compile myself. I spent over a thousand hours on that mod pack back in the day

[@deathatnoon12]

i was expecting a small segment on Crazy Craft, that's the modpack that really opened my eyes to minecraft mods

[@blueraptorgaming064]

Same here!

[@rnjit7256]

Awesome job man! I can remember watching the Yogscast make their Jaffa factory using tekkit good memories

[@shadowsonicsilver6]

And then the bees ended it

[@zerocheeks]

twilight forest being on the thumbnail makes me feel so old omg

[@rodrigocanton6244]

This video has an amazingly high quality, i hope your channel blows up soon

[@mrdollyman5675]

“These were dark times” No, but really. Brightness was capped at like 10

[@Stromoto]

Truly dark times

[@ethanthereenactorguy4829]

Damn you touched on all the major ones. Attack of the B Team is definitely an honorary mention though.

[@blueraptorgaming064]

Yeah! It includes the Dragon Mounts Mod?

[@voodoo5191]

2:44 I love that factorio music here :D

[@DogsRNice]

It's fitting considering it was inspired by modded Minecraft

[@rainboat3288]

how is this video extremely high quality😭 good job man💪

[@PogChamp_Max]

Hexxit was my childhood, to this day still my most fav modpack

[@soybean9098]

I remember playing hexxit and tekkit ages ago. Few years back I replayed them just to see how time has affected it, and gotta say they aren't bad even to this day.

[@shsharkz]

GOOD VIDEO, was surprised to look at the views and realize this only have 1.5k. it feels like watching one of those videos that have over 50k views, honestly probably even more than 100k. keep up the good work :)

[@GummyBear651]

my friends and I spent so much time on Crafting Dead, it was the main game we played together, wonderful memories

[@albertgaming2593]

I didnt expect such a good video to watch from a channel this size! i havent watched your newer videos but you could lower music volume in the background cuz its hard to focus on you sometimes otherwise love the video

[@Bluray2]

Im that old, that i remember RedCraft and BuildCraft mods, they were the best in combo with Industrial. I want these days back, when ender IO came out, everyone started to use it, but i really like animated pipes from BuildCraft, sadly most of them are not updating anymore... Good old days

[@liamkoon611]

You should really take a look at the bracken pack. It adds 11 dimensions my man.

[@Spacegamer1250]

the older pack that was my childhood was Blightfall and it is so nice to see that the community managed to convince Technic to let them continue updating and refining it in the past year.

[@Stromoto]

I've tried to play blightfall, but since I was so young back then I never understood what i should do lol, looks interesting but not my cup of tea.

[@Xzarfna]

Tekkit classic has to be my all time favourite modpack. Adding Forestry for 1.2.5 back into it (if you can find the jar and fix any bugs), and it's near perfect to me. Nuclear reactors from IC2 are so much more involved than BigReactors or Nuclearcraft - and the possibility of a meltdown ending your base if you're not careful is a great tradeoff for the huge power output vs just turning on a Big Reactor and leaving it to run. EU and MJ being two different power systems honestly makes sense! One is electricity and one is kinetic energy, of course you need a power converter between the two! Forestry being added allows the automation of crops and trees, something i'm not sure can be automated in base Tekkit Classic, and allows for even more awesome factories to be built. New modpacks like Resonant Rise or ATM are fun, but it's so easy to just skip to endgame and find yourself bored. Tekkit does have things like the Energy Condenser and Transmutation table that mean you can make anything into anything, but as manufactured items often dont have an EMC cost, you cant transmute them so you still need auto crafters etc, and the condensers are expensive enough to not want to make dozens of them. But a quarry can just pump everything into one and make endless diamonds. the original Redpower is still amazing to me, ProjectRed does a decent job of porting it to new versions, but IMO, the original is still better, it integrates better with other mods due to the blulectric engine, frame motors work perfectly for pre-create block moving. The introduction of Red Alloy makes redstone so much more approachable and allows for so many more options.

[@bbobbers]

YES! Hexxit was also my favorite it was awesome watching the old KZbinrs playing it

[@Stromoto]

Definitely, can't believe I didn't know about hexxit 2 until recently

[@bbobbers]

@@Stromoto I dont mean to advertise so I’m sorry if it comes across that way but someone I know streamed hexxit 1 and 2 up until recently (personal reasons) and I think it’d be good to watch him as it’s his first playthrough as well. His name is nitebow on KZbin and twitch

[@scripted44]

I replayed hexxit with friends like 3 years ago and it held up well honestly

[@mrfeather2732]

Most underrated video atm.

[@ilhatropical1]

i simply love some old modpacks basically because of nostalgia, I've watched so many series of a favorite youtuber of mine, I wish to play all of them one day

[@Stromoto]

Then why don't u play em? Do it now!

[@ilhatropical1]

@@Stromoto someday I will but i just bought minecraft 2 days ago and just now im learning how to play the mods and everything, and right now im already playing a modpack called SteamPunk with my friend, its a recent modpack on 1.19.2 i believe. Started playing it because my friend already was so yeah.

[@blueraptorgaming064]

I absolutely ADORE Mo’Creatures! It’s such a such a classic.

[@roofon]

i still remember messing around to install now that's what I call minecraft back when I was younger. Truly a blast from the past. It was definitely small in scope of mods esp. compared to modpacks of this day but it was fun.

[@ErtugrulK]

Omg amount of virus that was in my computer because i tried to download minecraft and mods are unbelievable.

[@junatah5903]

Voltz was another good one.

[@Stromoto]

Loved voltz, but I felt like tekkit was much more deserved

[@junatah5903]

@@Stromoto oh yeah tekkit was my childhood, still sometimes go on it from time to time.

[@tomb2923]

Attack of the B-Team will still always be the best modpack ever made

[@BroomMasterYT]

Absolutely incredible video :O The editing is on point, the narration is great, and your little jokes just spice it up so much. You have a great channel cooking here, keep it up dude! 100% Dropping a sub and clicking the bell

[@MrRat-tj2dn]

i spent so much time in custom tekkit modpack serves w chisel and stuff just creating fabrics w indistrial craft

"these were dark times" no, those were good times.

[@darshilbadole98]

Dang such high quality content i can't imagine how much time it took

[@thexd1805]

Ore spawn got me into minecraft, but mostly the youtubers like ppmmos, dantdm, stampy, bignoodles, and the other legends, but orespawn, A MOD had a huge impact on me aswell.

[@CivicViceversa]

stoked that someone is still talking about Hexxit

[@defenderofthecrown04]

You just unlocked a memory for me

[@xlerb2286]

A 1.7.10 mod pack named hermitcraft modsauce was my introduction to minecraft, if I remember the name correctly. Had a lot of fun with that at one time

[@TheMacSpeedy]

Hexxit was so fun as a kid, one of the only modpacks my pc would let me run at the time

[@Griffceda]

Love this! You covered so many interesting mods :)

[@Gomekor]

the factorio music is BIG with tekkit footage

[@a_few_species]

I also remember the zombie mod that had a baseball bat recipe of wooden shovel, so it can't be crafted, but I fixed it with auto-crafring mod. But then I never entered the mod since.

[@Eliahninja]

Certainly a nostalgia trip, thanks for creating this

[@samuelsalvatore4511]

Man i remember hexxit, that modpack was the embodiement of "lets add all the mods i think are really cool" And while i really like hexxit 2, it's a shame it stopped being updated right before other people ported the remaining mods from the original hexxit (such as the giant swords)

[@elo_9420]

crazycraft is possibly the most iconic mod in my opinion as it got popular during peak minecraft hype

[@giorgisabashvili2664]

man, tekkit takes me back, i fucking loved it

[@markokostelac7282]

Zoocrafting by SeriPixelBiologist was my favorite to watch. But then came TerraFirma punk and I love it still

[@_devotio_]

In the old OLD days most mods required "permission" to be in a modpack or straight up said you cant put them in a pack. Technic became big explicitly because they ignored these people and just did it anyway. The skyrim modding community could learn something from this.

[@ty2teo13]

Recently i played hexxit modpack and its so good

[@Jomygunz]

I wish I had a pc because I know I would play old Minecraft with mods and slowly make my way up to newer Minecraft mods and play other games with mods because mods make old games feel new again

[@GreenieShyGuy9904]

Tbh I’m Suprised Crazy Craft didn’t show up, i remember that one being HUGE

[@minecraftinalabama]

Thanks for the great trip down memory lane

[@Niesmiesznyy]

2:45 Factorio OST hits

[@Jane_8319]

Oh my god, I completely forgot playing on the crafting dead servers at my friend’s house after school. That must’ve been like, 2014 maybe? I was 11, christ.

[@Foxyrobo]

My favorite modpack is probably FTB Unleashed. It's kinda similar to Tekkit, as they are both tech modpacks from similar versions (unleashed in 1.5, tekkit in 1.6 i believe)

[@whoareyounumbertwo]

how is this not viral

[@dogf421]

the mention of meta inf gave me flashbacks

[@theaveragegamer7221]

I still remember the Duncan and Sjin war that destroyed the server in the Tekkit playthrough.

[@Stromoto]

I dont remember that happening but it makes me think about voltz for some reason

[@orhandalegend]

Orespawn is probably THE most iconic youtube modpack like, ever

[@Stromoto]

I think orespawn was a mod which is why I didn't add it here

[@orhandalegend]

@@Stromoto yeah true, i confused it with crazy craft mb

[@xythrr]

"can we talk about how hexxit and telkit have similar names" Texxit:

[@MalcyTheMarionette]

I remember The Crafting Dead. I have to check it out again

[@vasbabs]

hekkit is crazy. cant believe its considered old ;(

[@blockwearingman]

still rocking hexxit if you wanna play some things from the mod in 1.12 there is the mod chocolate quest repoured

[@sonxicor8921]

Lack of crazy craft mentioned is crazy

[@Stromoto]

Never played crazy craft unfortunately, looks kinda fun :(

[@creeperkid09]

Tekkit Classic for 1.2.5 isn't actually the original tekkit, it was a redux created sometime in 2014-15 when a new pack was made for 1.7.10 that took the Tekkit name. The original Tekkit ran on 1.1.0 and has a slightly different mod list than Tekkit Classic. This doesn't really matter in the context of this video, but I wanted to put it out there since the history of Tekkit is pretty murky and it seems like this fact often gets forgotten.

[@Stromoto]

I see, its not easy to get the right information when so much of the same thing keeps getting repeated to the point its the "fact".

[@shyrtexx4879]

I still play Hexxit to this day and forever will!

[@ArcKanosie]

I remember wanting to play hexxit but not knowing how to download it because im just a kid, and straight up going into depression for a few days until my brother downloaded it for me

[@pikminman13]

much as i love the really old modpacks, as thats what really hooked me on mc in general, i cant go back to play them. while i couldnt care less about new vanilla content, as i am playing a modpack to play with the mods, not vanilla, the lack of a lot of qol on both the vanilla and modded sides makes it very hard to feel comfortable. 1.7 is as far back as i can willingly go. tmi is just not nei or jei, among many other things that would be too long to list and i would have to play it again to remember absolutely everything.

[@EclipseCat]

something i find kinda sad is that tekkit is the sister pack to an older pack, technic. while tekkit was more popular because it was SMP, but technic had more mods but due to how old modding was many of its mods only worked in SSP. i think that is also what kinda explains tekkit being much higher on google trends because the technic launcher was very popular back then too but im sure many people, like me back then, would always forget about technic and only think to search tekkit launcher instead XD and hexxit's name is similar because its a technic modpack, so same guys that made tekkit.

[@_Rasec]

The factorio music on tekkit makes sense

[@highgogoat]

holy shit hexxit and crafting dead were like the only modpacks i played as a kid, that shit was so fun

[@laith6076]

Anyone getting Popularmmos nostalgia from this? (Especially hexxit)

[@red2fire2]

lol was that a factorio song during the Tekkit overview

[@swordsmancs]

Tekkit 2 is phenomenal and I play it regularly today, tons of great mods and tons of fun If you like technical work it’s definitely for you

[@Stromoto]

Tekkit II was so good that it made be delay this video by 2 weeks lol. It was absolute fun and I wouldn't have played it if it weren't for tekkit classic.

[@GoldyPlaysMinecraft]

I joined TCD back in 2020 and played with my friends sadly only one still plays. I believe the modpack died because of lack of updates as well as ranks and kits becoming pay to win. The mod developers are working on a 1.18.2 modpack so there is so hope for the return of more players.

[@illumililium]

for me YOGBOX is the ultimate modded minecraft nostalgia😭

[@bebe2995]

You know for some reason the only modpack from this vid that was noticed in Russian speaking community of minecraft is Hexxit and the other 2 are just unknown

[@Corthmic]

Somehow, I never used any of these modpacks back in the day. I only ever used Yogbox.

[@TheVincident.]

Tried replaying tekkit a few years ago but it was incredibly broken with many features not properly added into the game making it impossible to craft/use many of the items

[@nemtudom5074]

2:43 Actually tekkit 2 has released a year ago and basically tekkit classic on a newer minecraft version, and with additional mods Tekkit 2015 or 'just tekkit' is alright, but it doesnt compare to the beast that is classic, and the humble reinvention that is Tekkit 2

[@Stromoto]

Yeah, from what I've heard Tekkit 2 is the true sequel to "Tekkit Classic" while Tekkit is just a spin-off version
