While I haven't been playing MC for long, I've been following Foolcraft, Farming Valley, and Sprout MC playthroughs as long as I've been watching Hermitcraft. These seem like really fun, awesome modpacks that change up the game quite a bit.

I've toyed around with various mods myself and have decided I'm really into food-based ones like Pam's Harvestcraft, and ones that add bees/butterflies like Forestry. I really enjoy cooking IRL and these give me real reasons to explore further into the MC world in search of rare ingredients and animals, instead of staying inside my fairly safe 2000-block area I tend to when I play solo.

What are some of your favorite mods and modpacks? What got you into playing with mods in the first place?

100% Better Bedrock Gen or Flat Bedrock, I don't recall which exactly I have installed on my single player worlds.  Rather an odd choice maybe, for as little as it comes up.  Hate that bedrock can screw up a perfectly good idea because of that ONE block that sticks up (down in the nether) in the wrong spot.  Also Tree chopper.  Because when I encounter a giant jungle tree or spruce, it's not my idea of fun to plummet to my death because I stepped just a little too far to one side.  Very nearly did that on Sur2 just today, lucky I wasn't really high up; had it been a massive jungle tree I'd have been dead, I'm sure.

Everything else is just convenience and amusement, though I do have quite a few mods for my own single player enjoyment.  Then again since joining the dogcraft server I haven't really played anything but smp vanilla.  Time flies a lot faster on smp for some reason.

Currently, I have been into a couple mods lately, like Tinkers Construct, Applied Energistics 2, and some of the technology mods out there,  simply because it is what I love.  The tools in Yonkers Construct can give endless possibilities, and with PlusTiC, mods can encorperatr their materials into Tinkers Construct.   Applied energistics, being a storage mod, just helps me a ton.  But I can't forget about Veinminer.  I almost can't play modded with out it.

I have been latley getting into a modpack called A Progressive Adventure, which you first have to enable the questing, but it is the kind of modpack that I enjoy for fun, with only a bit of drop in frames.

Lately I have been playing on a modpack called Age of Engineering, which is like a progression type of modpack that focuses on the tech mods in minecraft. This is starting to be my favorite modpack since it just bring a new level of difficulty to the mods that I usually play with, which are Mekanism, tinker's construct, EnderIO, and much more. . .

To me, since I've played with all these mods before, and have easily been able to get to the end tier items, I wanted a bigger challenge, which is why I have become interested in this modpack.

I like Chisels and Bits, Extra bit manipulation, Flat colored blocks, Chickens (for the dye colors) and Botania (for the living rock textures). I find the Chisels and Bits mod gives me that extra bit of satisfaction and detail that I like in my builds.

Mods: Optifine!
Modpack: (played modded last time in 2014) Biomes o' Plenty and Pams Harvest/more plants/animals.

Main reason i'm not a fan of mods, often they're based on older Minecraft versions and i'm a player that likes to have a steady ongoing world that is also following the annual Mojang Updates. And some modpacks rip apart the whole sense of the sandbox game Minecraft.
