Minecraft is really relaxing ?
I didn’t play minecraft for a very long time, then two weeks ago i was really bored and started playing on singleplayer building a village. I think i have never been so relaxed by playing a videogame. It is very pleasing to see your results after finishing something and it feels so completing for some reason. My stress levels have dropped since i started and i have achieved alot since i made my first building. And with the shader mods you can download i made some pretty neat screenshots of my project so far and shared it on reddit. The community on the minecraft subreddit also is really supportive and its amazing. Just wanted to share this :P

What shader mods do you use? I've recently started playing again but I'm just playing vanilla atm since idk which mods to get.

Minecraft was a game I loved, but sadly now if I play it, it makes me incredibly depressed after about a week or two.

Vanilla is so slow paced and the things you build so largely pointless, it just causes you to think too much about everything. Specially when mining long, long tunnels, for hours upon hours. And then you have more stacks of resources than you know what to do with.

And eventually no matter what I build, it becomes too great for my computer. So I can never create the great things I imagine.

Even my favorite mods such as industrialcraft hit my computers limit when it comes time to mass produce UU matter.

I used the Sushi shader mod ( wich is based on Chocapic 13’s shader. Here is how t looks on my build https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/8ch6bx/building_project_im_working_on/

if you don't have a good computer ozo craft texturepack looks amazing. And it makes jukebox cds sound amazing too. Even wheat and seeds looks amazing in it.

I used it for so many versons of minecraft. Never found a better one.

My pc can luckily run any shader/texturepack smoothly but i will check it out! I normally dont use the highest graphical packs but rather the ones with better performance since i think it looks better.

One of the last times I gave multiplayer a real try, they had to limit what you could make in the techmod packs because servers couldn't handle it. So they took my power engine setup and gave me a cheaty end game mega power creating block. And I like quit cuz, the fun of tech mods is what you can make.

Still a shame red power mod was discontinued. That mod was fun.

I remember playing tekkit in the earlier days of minecraft on a private server with friends. I didnt understand anything about it but it was fun. Never really played any tech modpacks after that but more the adventure ones.

Its a lot easier to start with just 1 tech mod and work through it, than all of them mixed in. I think buildcraft was the simpliest one, back when I used to play it anyway, Though not incredibly fun by itself.

Still collecting oil in tanks was fun. And having pumps so your houses had water was cool. Then industrialcraft 2 gave your house lights that required power to run such as from a coal powered furnace.

imo one problem any long running minecraft mod has is the mod makers never seem to understand is that at a point enough is enough. Like mo creatures didn't need a billion different animals, tame items, anima beds, ect.

There was a mod I loved that was just a power system, a furnace, a battery for storing the power. And it works with other tech mods or with mods you created yourself. But then it was gone to be rolled into some huge thing or another.

An exception of course is total overhauls because those mods are suppose to be played by themself of course.

I know what you mean, the developers always seem to make it more complicated by adding stuff that sometimes doesn’t even have a purpose, i feel like minecraft itself has this problem too. I don’t play the newer versions since i don’t like how it has become. Id rather stick to versions between 1.7 - 1.9.4
