I play Minecraft for the mods and while I appreciate vanilla updates, they are incresingly impairing to the mod community. I like 1.9, but the updates after that are mostly just very forgettable stuff that comes out so rapidly it almost feels like they wanted to slow down the modding community.
I would say most of what Mojang do make Minecraft strictly better, even though I feel like the worldgen has really suffered, but I am not happy with what their updates mean for the modders.

The lack of thought in some posts can be baffling at times, but trust me, I have seen worse.

A standard, good idea, but who gets to decide it. Not everyone in the Forge community is in the Crimson Cult.

I started thinking about alternatives to the special functios.
IC2 for instance has completely redundant functions that are just a waste of space, such as power mode for tools, could have just shift-air-rclick.
With Thaumcraft worn active tools and the wand are offenders, but both are pretty hard to fix.
Jetpack syndrome.(No real way of interacting with worn equipment other than special hotkey) and the wand alread yutilizing everything from left-click to shift-rc-air.

Ya know word filters exist for a reason.

But TC4 also had the primal staff, so if you can't even make a silverwood one?

Void aspected primal staff.
I mean the thing sucks anyway, but I mean it has a recipe, however it cannot be crafted.

I miss them.
I mean the new wonderful way you can farm vis shards replaced them and I wouldn't want the ore back, but man, the clusters were nice.
Also as storage. Now that I have a giant shard garden under my house I have no place to put them all. My main way of farming ordo essence has pretty much always been order shards, because they are so easy to get when you have a 100x Ordo node on your roof.

Also can anybody tell me if any item other than candles can be used for stability?
Because clusters don't exist and skulls cannot realistically be obtained.
...according to my tests no, absolutely not. No jars, no nitors, no pedestrals...

Witchery over Thaumcraft?

Mods like NEI are 100% necessary when playing stuff like IC2 because on their own all the recipes make zero sense.
Thaumcraft, however, has the Thaumonomicon.
NEI is just what vanilla creative should be and a crutch to preserve a little bit of immersion in mods that have thousand sof unexplained random recipes.
In an ideal world nobody would ever need NEI-like mods.

Guys how can I pick up alchemical devices from my world that is crystallizers and centrifuges?
They are not reacting to anything, pickaxe, hands, wand...
EDIT: Nevermind. They do break, but they just do not give any visible sign of block damage, so I hit them for a few seconds and then gave up, you just have to hold for long enough.

At least shields are good to make Minecraft combat a lot more interesting and to get rid of the disturbing tumor that is the current Minecraft vanilla PVP "scene".

I hope Mojang are not gonna spam meaningless microupdates to disrupt developers like Azanor.

That was not the question.
