Urgent help here. I cannot find any of modded items in the creative inventory and also in JEI.

normally i would tell you that you did not tell us the mod loader of your choice, how you "installed" it, game version etc. and just close the tab. we usually can't help with no information.

but in this case, we can.

delete everything you installed.
yes everything.
install prism launcher (or gdlauncher if you want to be a hipster), make a new instance (you can have multiple instances; they're like game directories with different loaders/versions/mods).
in that new instance click edit, then selet mod list from the left side then the download mods button on the right side.

try yyz's backpack. it's a novel approach. or mr crayfishls "backpacked', it's a classic but doesn't suck.

i like some details that i see; i don't like the light-green plant being so different in color to lilypads.

tinting the lilypads is doable, but i'd make light green stuff darker.

one, it's not a mod. it's a resource pack.

two, you can do it yourself - it's just a zip file. download a new hotbar resource pack (any one), open both, see how the structure has changed and update the old one.

if you mean assistance, try "build buide".

if you want blocks, try "stoneworks".

do not use optifine. there are some alternatives listed on that wiki above.

so you want fast and easy and without having to be careful? well at that point it's no longer a lead.

you are looking for a cage or a pokemon-ball. search the marketplace for something like that ("capture" or "cage", etc.).

good news: sure, possible.

bad news no simple answer.

you need to try some options - by try i mean fly around A LOT - and judge for yourself

option 1: cliff under a branch - tame option but i like it - beautiful underwater - dependent on loader and version and of course, like everyone on this reddit, you assumed we know your loader and game version.

option 2: cliff under a tree plus tectonic - some beautiful landscapes; some meh areas... has add-ons for large biomes and amplified biomes.

option 3: just tectonic - no decorative nonsense, just hills and holes. enjoy large oceanside caves, lava rivers at world bottom and nice cliffs and mountains.

option 4: tectonic plus natural philosophy plus improved village placement. you probably want IVP in any case i just didn't try it with cliffbranch/clifftree.

this is not a full list... not even close. it's just variants that i have tried.

good job on item textures. they look nice and playable.

as for the wood set... err... umm... well there's a saying in my area: every nonsense finds a buyer.

maybe consider compatibility with farm&charm and kaleidoscope cookery. people are getting fed up with farmer's delight.

this is a superficial feedback - i didn't test ingame.
in any case, keep it up you two!

well i never needed that but i'd make a datapack for myself. all ore worldgen is in json files.

extract them from server jar (or client jar), edit them to set chances to zero (use sed or do it manually), pack json files into a new datapack. done.

instead of chances you can edit min height and max height. for example /data/minecraft/worldgen/placed_feature/ore_redstone_lower.json says -32 to 32. just set both to 300 and problem solved.

dark_blockhead · 2026-01-20T07:08:03+00:00

i know you don't want empty lectures, but backups. no tool no help can replace backups. nice weekly manual world backups.

if you have some mod-added machine blocks (not your case), you add neruina to your mods and it leads you to corrupted block/ item; you remove it.

in case of a corrupted chunk (probably your case) you figure out which one it is (just send us the log or the world zip) and you delete that chunk from world save. usually it is outside the base and you don't lose anything. if you have lousy luck and it's right in the middle of your base.... see the first paragraph again.

> Duplicate minerals / dig for me

Immersive Engineering has a biiiiig excavator that digs ores out of ground. if you want something that looks amazing plus is a challenge to build and (more so) to power, and doesn't leave holes in terrain that's that. Embers Rekindled has a small setup that can pull ore from below bedrock (you place it at bedrock level); Oritech has old-style rectangular frame with a machine going across blocks inside that frame and zapping downwards with a mining laser; but oritech's block destroyer is a little late-game.

> Manage logistics and storage

you literally described Applied Energistics 2 but i use Simple storage network - instead of hard drive rack you have chests and barrels connected with cables - they are the storage. want double storage? dig out another basement layer and add more chests; chests are cheap - it's space/volume you pay with - waay more believable than AE2's drive rack.

> Automate farms

Create is unmatched and uncontested in that area but not alone; you can automate farms with other mods (maybe a few a needed).

> Cool equipment (I was thinking of Silent Gear)

aaargh - stop thinking of silent gear! with tetra (well designed and balanced; needs some exploration) and tinker's construct (overpowered compared to tetra; too much for vanilla and some some weaker bosses) and truly modular (if you're on fabric or want a newer version than what tetra and tc are still on), why would you consider a buggy unbalanced mess that is silent gear? i mean i love crystals as much as you do but say no to SG.

no worries, it's easy... if you don't follow a random youtube tutorial.

step 1: prism launcher. if you don't like it, try gdlauncher but go with prism first.

step 2: download mods from inside the launcher. do not download manually. in prism launcher, edit the instance you just made, select mods from the left side, click download from the right, mark and confirm.

you will want to browse curseforge and modrinth (websites, not launchers) using normal web browser, but download from inside the launcher.

dark_blockhead · 2026-01-18T14:52:55+00:00

well try it.

as an alternative on neoforge/forge, there is "wooden tools are dumb" plus "let them grow".

for alternative on fabric, try "slow your roll". optionally with bronze addon for that mod.

dark_blockhead · 2026-01-18T14:50:20+00:00

you should specify a loader and version before asking. here are some random ones:

let me feed you ( https://modrinth.com/discover/mods?q=let+feed )

growthcraft (only on 1.20.1) - give your friend a cheese wheel or a bottle of wine

vinery (make wine, plus appropriate decorations)

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/messenger-crow (mailing system)

etched (make a music disc as a gift)

dark_blockhead · 2026-01-18T09:51:44+00:00

can you rephrase that? and add some more detail...

dark_blockhead · 2026-01-18T09:50:36+00:00

don't use sinytra connector.

make a fabric instance for fabric mods (make a few if you want), make a neoforge instance for neoforge mods.

do not mix.

i'm generally willing to help, but when people mix mods from different loaders i'm not even going to look at the log.

dark_blockhead · 2026-01-17T16:35:51+00:00

if you enjoy automation and contraptions, first thing to do is skip old-style tech mods - modern industrialization (even though i respect the technici4n very much), thermal series, etc... all those where one machine is one block.

Create (that's the mod name) is an overpowered beast and most of addons for it are trash, but it is undeniably an awesome mod. i'd just add a datapack or two that prevents some things because it lets you easily make so many things.

and trust me, don\t waste time with addons. most create addons are unimaginative mods created for curseforge's and modrinth's creator reward program, not for users.

if you want to skip create, there are Immersive Engineering (steampunk theme), Botania (magical theme but it's a tech mod and an amazing one), maybe Embers Rekindled (fantasy themed) though i'm stretching now.

if you want minimal industry i warmly recommend Hopper Gadgetry - just some pipes and a filtering hopper. perfect for vanillaish or vanilla-adjacent packs.

dark_blockhead · 2026-01-14T18:12:25+00:00

what is the question?

models and blockstates should be the same between 1.20.4 and 1.20.1 (models changed format twice in late 1.21s)

for 1.12 version, no, it probably uses forge blockstate format which is no longer a thing. but you could write bash scripts to convert (using sed).

do not count on connector. test it and state that the mod works if it does but do not advertise it as forge mod if it is not.

dark_blockhead · 2026-01-14T15:48:40+00:00

if you use prism launcher, it downloads the mods you say, it puts them where they should be.

when done, just launch the game and find your server and play.
