I've noticed that a lot of modmakers are making mods like "More ores mod" or "More tools mod."
It's not creative and I think they can try to do something at least somewhat unique. I don't mean to say you have to make the most clever mod in the world, I just think some modmakers can do better than copying iron, giving it slightly different hues, and making tools out of it. I'm not a modmaker myself, but in my opinion, if you can't bring something new to the table, I don't think you should make the mod.
