In my opinion, one of the most important mod in Minecraft's history is the Mo' Creatures mod, it adds all sort of animals, both fantasy and real ones. Some of them being Cats, Bunnies, Horses, Dolphins and Bears, which were all added later on in the vanilla game
One mod I haven't seen mentioned here that I fondly remember is Millénaire. It added really cool villages with various cultures and NPC trading way before that was a proper thing in vanilla. And the villagers would use the stuff you traded them to build new structures or upgrade existing ones etc. that was so cool.
@@sly_cat No it wasn't both mods were developed at the same time, the last update for Millénaire was in 2022, the reason that mod stopped being developed was because it was extremely buggy (and overall just old, every mod eventually dies I mean look at thaumcraft). Also both mods are structured differently on what they add to the game. Sure they both add villages but one mod is about building reputation with cultures where the other is about making a colony that builds the village.
One of the mods I loved few year's ago was Morph when you can turn into any mobs you killed. The rush to a cave in the first second just to kill a bat and can fly a few second before get one shot by as arrow shot by a random skeleton... the good time
I find the random letters found in the herobrine mod absolutely hilarious, especially the letter H, H is a funny letter. E is too but its overrated so i like it a little bit less

Seeing the portal mod really takes me back. Valve games had such a chokehold on internet culture back then. Sure, they're still really big, I feel like the widespread popularity of the portal mod for minecraft really shows off that their popularity was on a different scale back then. God, and adventure maps. I have so many good memories of playing through them with my friends when we were younger. Makes me wonder why they died off - the mapping tools for minecraft are better than ever. Maybe it's just a natural progression. I was glad to see you bring up planet minecraft, too. I remember using that site a lot back then, and I still do whenever I'm looking for resource packs and stuff. I'm not as in touch with the minecraft fanbase as I used to be, so I had no clue that most players don't touch the game's files at all when installing mods. Crazy how things have changed, but it's probably for the better. It makes modding more accessible.
man I remember these including elemental creepers and especially clay soldiers. I must have been so obsessed with that last one. was genuinely one of the best mods ever.
I remember the mod "Tales of Kingdoms" where you had to build up a castle you ruled and went out fighting monsters and rescuing npcs (this was before villagers were a thing, mind you) and it was just soooo much fun. Only problem was that your computer would probably freeze up for a bit when you made a new world bc the game had spawn this ginormous castle near you
from all the mods here, i feel like Clay soldiers were something everyone played back then, forgot about it after 10 years and now felt soo much nostalgia
what a throwback! tbh the old mods were so cool!! especially the "complex" ones with so much content and stuff to know about like thaumcraft or IC2. I remember feeling like the coolest witch after making the sword of zephyr! now most mods are pretty similar, and most modpacks are basically the same but with a slightly different questbook, and sometimes a slightly different take on the same "skyblock" idea...
Sometimes it can get a bit annoying but personally I find that there's juuuust enough outliers that you can pick that the majority of the similar FTB packs are fine. If anything I really enjoy quest books because they let you pin goals straight to your HUD which really helps with staying engaged but there are still those few outliers such as the crashed spaceship sandblock or FTB Continuum with it's primarily Project E(X) and Avartia centered focuses
Aside a few years when i was a kid playing pocket edition (with mods often times), i always struggled to be into minecraft. I've spent close to a decade watching minecraft youtubers, learning about minecraft, different parts of it be it modding or multiplayer etc. But the past 6 or so years i really struggled to find ways to enjoy minecraft. Including finding modpacks i'd enjoy, because i knew that what i would find enjoyable would be extremely niche. And then my friend recommended me Vault hunters, and i found Vault hunters 3 skyblock version. And honestly, i fell in love with it? I haven't progressed much but it almost perfectly fits what i wanted from modded minecraft. Skyblock, somewhat linear progression, quests to follow, not focusing on tech based mods which i find boring personally. It's still a "play when nothing else to do" kind of experience but i'm glad i found something that makes me actively enjoy playing minecraft. In large part because the whole vault system is quite novel and interesting.
i used to take the Agrarian Skies modpack and just throw in a bunch of mods i liked, and i felt good when i figured out how to fix Forge Microblocks to make it work with most of the blocks it couldn't interact with before.
The Herobrine mod holds a special place for me, because when I was like 12-13 I installed it, and then was also trying to make survival challenge maps to post on Planetminecraft. So I had made a disc world with endless void beyond its border to build on with Worldpainter, right? Well, I got the portal Herobrine, which sends you to a random location. But because the world was endless void outside the disc, I was literally sent out of the world, and it broke my view. I couldn't move and my arm was detached and rendered weird. It scared the shit out of me, but it's REALLY fucking funny in retrospect now. Also when I went to uninstall it, I broke my installation because I was a dumbass with the editing of files etc, so mobs were invisible for me and I had to delete my folders fully and fresh install. Makes me wonder how many video game creepy pastas were spawned by kids fucking up their ame files trying to mod, or just weird niche bugs that happened and scared the shit out of a 10 year old lmao. Probably a lot.
There's a modern herobrine mod thats arguably one of the mosth faithful towards the classic myth. It's called From the fog and it's genuinely fucking scary. It showcases how scary herobrine could be if he's basically a passively aggresive eldritch entity that only stalks you from a distance or tne corner of your peripheral vision. I extremely recommend that mod if you'd like a lingering sense of dread in your playthroughs. It's highly customizable and the most extreme of configs could even allow it tae outright crash your game.
I still vividly remember how the mods work, mostly in version 1.7.10 of Minecraft. Those were the days, playing mods on a less powerful computer. Engaging with mods triggers a sense of nostalgia in me, and I'm glad to watch this video.
All my homies remember the silver age that was 1.7.10 We all dreamed of having friends in a server with Flans and having a fun war RP, or experienced the true birth of modpacks.
God I used to LOVE the Clay Soliders mod, I would play around with it for hours just getting them to build their own homes(by putting logs in chests I think?) and having a cute little civilization. I miss that mod so much, I'd give anything for it to be updated again
I remember when i played mods for the first time, my parents had installed tekkit on our computer so i made one of the buildcraft quaries in creative mode because i had seen it in a video and thought it was the coolest thing ever, then i did that and then i found a nuke block and i wanted to see what would happen if i were to blow up like 20 of them at the same time and then the computer crashed because of that...
I sadly missed it when it was around. Only learned about it because there were some big controversies surrounding it, with some people straight up hating it for some reason
The herobrine mod could have actually been pretty scary if there were not chat messages, no glow stone letters, and if encounters with herobrine were much rarer.
My favorite older mods, the first one I ever played with, was something called buildcraft. It had chunk destroying quarries and little flying robots. It also had pipes and you could see as items traveled through them. I played it for so long and was so annoyed when it was no longer updated.
@@airgeadlamh The latest version it was on was 1.12. There's news of it being updated for Fabric for modern versions, but that project has been going on for years, so I'm not holding my breath. Still, there are plenty of 1.7 and 1.12 packs that make good use of it that are tons of fun to play even today!
@@mulqueen2023 Yeah, that sucked a lot when I learned about it. I watched him so much as a kid, I actually started calling gold butter on pure instinct.
There's actually a pretty cool mod similar to Zeppelin for modern minecraft called Valkyrien Skies, however, you will need the Eureka! expansion for it to make it compatable with survival.
There's been a few versions of the mod over the years. Zeppelin, Davinci's Vessels, Valkyrien Skies like you mentioned. I feel like I'm forgetting one though.
My favourite part is the old crafting recipes, trying to make something new and complicated enough but also relevant to what you're crafting. Some mods and default things today are more complex and detailed to make sense, especially with big complicated tech mod packs, but when you just had portal guns you can't make crazy technology pieces and combine them so they had to find a suitably complex recipe using just normal old minecraft items, while making it make a little bit of sense. Also shoutout clay soldiers mod actually the best of all time and I forgot about it until today. Aether and airship and stuff are legendary but clay soldiers just had so much whimsy, completely useless and pure fun, and I just love chunky little dudes
So im not nostalgic for playing the mods themselves, but im nostalgic for watching youtubers play these, and this is giving vibes to like mod showcases but with the new minecraft video style and I love it, great video man
Loved getting nostalgic about this. I remember deleting many METAINFS. As for old mod suggests there's the old equivalent exchange mod, mo'creatures mod, planes mod, moon mod, scuba mod, smart moving mod, tv mod and little blocks (big one). I also think it'd be cool to do an old adventure map video, stuff like deep space turtle chase and the super hostile series.
I remember at one point in my life, my goal was to finally get mods running! It took me until I was 14 to finally figure out how to add actual mods and get forge running, but when I did, my face lit up with so much joy when I saw that after years of trying to get it to work and years of seeing DanTDM and Popularmmos vids on mods, it finally worked-that joy that I felt-and I still feel that joy to this very day!
Bro, seeing this hit me with a massive wave of nostalgia. I remember looking up how to get mods on Xbox. Watching old minecraft mod reviews, playing on the first version of Xbox 360 minecraft. Those were the days
Nice throwback to a bunch of old memories!! I'd love to see a part two to this with stuff like the gullivers travel mod or maybe the original aether dimension!! keep it up!
watching this video dug up an old memory for me so thank you, i’m new to the channel but grateful for that lost memory coming back i think i’ll stick around
Your music is a little loud in the audio mix, but a great video otherwise! Loved seeing some of these mods again, or for the first time. I spent countless hours just messing around with mods in singleplayer when I was a kid.
Classic mods? Oh boy, where to start? Minecolony and Millenaire are the classic village mods. Millenaire had pre-existing ones that you could trade with and help upgrade whereas Minecolony was more like a city sim where you built up the village. The Invasion Mod is an all-time classic for me. Loved pairing it with Custom NPCs and staging giant battles. That ended up forming the original setting of my first big world building writing project, actually. What else...? Biomes o' Plenty used to lean more into the fantastical. You could create a staff that summoned a portal to "the Promised Land," which was like the Aether only more hospitable and...pink. Oh, and Thaumcraft. I think it was Thaumcraft 2, but it was the OG magic mod. Didn't really like Thaumcraft 3, but 4 was the shit. 5 too. I built a custom modpack that I shared with my friends and I mastered that mod. I built my own wizard tower next to the house and they would come by and watch me do cool magic shit, not even knowing what was going on half the time. I didn't much care for Thaumcraft 6 -- too complex and got rid of wands. Wands were the best part of the mod and replaced them with a glove. I have no idea if it's still out there, but I remember the "Yogpack" which was a Minecraft modpack by the Yogscast. I barely remember what mods were in it, but I have fond (if not foggy) memories of playing it. I also played the old Hexxit off of the Technic Launcher which also had Tekkit. Didn't play that one as much but I dabled with Industrialcraft. There was also a modpack that I can't remember the name of but one of the mods it had was an overhaul to crafting. Smelting iron ore would give wrought iron that wasn't used for tools or weapons. Instead you had to create forged items, put them into an anvil ("enchanting anvils" didn't exist yet), and hit the anvil with a hammer at a steady rate to fill up a progress bar to craft the item. It was actually a really cool mod. Wish I could remember it.
So about the portal mod, ive played the more recent versions and theyve made it so that you can actually see the other side of the portal through it, even yourself, without much latency if youre using a good gpu. Just something that popped in my head while watching this, great video tho
Dude I just wanna tell you that the pacing and script of your video is extremely well done. Your commentary is really pleasant and relevant. You demonstrate the mod in an entertaining way without dragging out or overexplaining. Great video. I love the subtle dry humor. Very pleasant watch
I remember playing the shit out of the portal gun mod, and elemental creepers was the first ever mod review I watched on TH-cam (fairly sure it was AntVenom's review at that haha) ahhh this video sure brought back some memories of absolutely borking the game when installing mods on my pirated copy of minecraft 😭
The first mod I ever played was Tinker’s Constructs, in 1.6. I vividly remember triumphantly figuring out how to install it after like a month of not knowing what to do because I was like 9. Super nostalgic for me
oh, the nostalgia of downloading mods for minecraft and having difficulty of installing it, rerun and crashed, over and over again... the old websites that contains a lot of ads and fake downloads, watching mod showcases online with your favorite MC YTbers... It was such a happy time
Anyone remember that tornado mod? I'd play on this one city map and get some tornados going and just listen to the sirens as I tried to run away from an F5. Unfortunately still the best environmental horror experience I've had in a videogame since then
despite nostalgia, i can still remember the horrible pain of item and block id conflicts. i spent so long typing in high numbers that it turned out were invalid because they were too big
I love your calm style dude. This video feels so nostalgic. Im super sick right now and this feels like when i was sick as a kid how i would stay in bed watching all the minecraft mod reviews i could find.
9:00 man that mod was advanced for its time. Not even today do we have a mod like it where you can have moving structures THAT YOU CAN MOVE AROUND ON. Every mod after Zeppelin that was made for aircraft or moving ships has failed miserably when it comes to the player being able to walk around perfectly.
The OG "You are the Creeper" mod for Beta 1.7.3 was a _blast_ to play with, and trying to evade all the humans and trying to kill em...ahhh, good times!
Man this brought back some great memories I’d totally forgotten about. In my first ever modded world I used the gulliver’s mod with the clay soldiers and a small block mod to create arenas for the clay soldiers to fight in and I’d join in to help my colour.
I remember really liking the Nexus mod and watching so many videos of people’s bases to try and fight off the attacking mobs! The Clay Soldiers mod was always one of my favourite too
Mo’Creatures, More creeps and weirdos, The Aether, Twilight Forest, The Rapid fire bow mod and the time control one, Animal Bikes, Wireless Redstone, Pokemobs, and so many more mods that Im probably forgetting the name off. I remember filling up the family computer’s storage full of mods. Good times Minecraft modding doesn’t hit the same. I think it was the pure Wild West factor of it how you had no idea if a mod was gonna be absolute shit or not. I even remember downloading a virus mod off the forms which pissed off my parents thank the lord we deleted it before it could do real damage. 😢 Miss those crazy modding days.
I’ve played every single one of these mods, except for the pistons, and this video brought me so much nostalgia. I even still call JustEnoughItems/NotEnoughItems "TooManyItems". Thank you
All of these mods are so nostalgic to me and I remember using every one of them! Takes me back to a time when mods felt really magical. I still love them, but now they almost feel too polished if that makes sense.
Man this was a blast from the past. One of the mods I remember was the micro blocks mod that let you build using blocks up to 1/16 the size of a regular block, letting you make stuff like detailed furniture and dioramas.
One other thing I remember from the old modding days, open source was VERY rare, whereas nowadays it's not only extremely common for mods to be open source, but it's kind of expected. The majority of Modrinth pages link back to a git repo, all the most popular mods have several contributors, launchers like PrismLauncher have not only seriously improved how easy it is to mod the game, but they're also open source. The reason this is a good thing is because it means all the code is publicly available instead of kept hidden by the developer. It makes it much easier for any random person to fix bugs and add features for mods they like as long as they know a bit of Java, and it makes it much harder for mods to hide malicious code because anyone who knows Java can just read through it and let people know if anything's there that shouldn't be there, as well as creating a fork, copying the code and allowing them to make their own modifications independent of the main project. Overall I feel like the mass community move towards open source mods has been the single greatest thing to happen in the modding scene.
What mods do you want to see in a part 2?
Mo Creeps n' weirdos please
Bic Biome Craft would be nice.
Battle tower, mo tnt, mo mobs, 1.6.4 mods were so much fun and very unique and what comes to mind when I think of old Minecraft mods

i used to take the Agrarian Skies modpack and just throw in a bunch of mods i liked, and i felt good when i figured out how to fix Forge Microblocks to make it work with most of the blocks it couldn't interact with before.
You gotta check out the poop mod that added poop and all kinds of crafting recipes like the poop block or poop armor!
I hate that I remember that mod
oh
Bro, I know all these mods. I used to watch skydoesminecraft n dantdm do mod reviews all the time when I was younger. So nostalgic 😭😭😭
The Herobrine mod holds a special place for me, because when I was like 12-13 I installed it, and then was also trying to make survival challenge maps to post on Planetminecraft. So I had made a disc world with endless void beyond its border to build on with Worldpainter, right? Well, I got the portal Herobrine, which sends you to a random location. But because the world was endless void outside the disc, I was literally sent out of the world, and it broke my view. I couldn't move and my arm was detached and rendered weird. It scared the shit out of me, but it's REALLY fucking funny in retrospect now. Also when I went to uninstall it, I broke my installation because I was a dumbass with the editing of files etc, so mobs were invisible for me and I had to delete my folders fully and fresh install.
Makes me wonder how many video game creepy pastas were spawned by kids fucking up their ame files trying to mod, or just weird niche bugs that happened and scared the shit out of a 10 year old lmao. Probably a lot.
I remember i accidentally corrupted the textures in my world trying to mod it and i thought it was herobrine, as always.
There's a modern herobrine mod thats arguably one of the mosth faithful towards the classic myth. It's called From the fog and it's genuinely fucking scary. It showcases how scary herobrine could be if he's basically a passively aggresive eldritch entity that only stalks you from a distance or tne corner of your peripheral vision. I extremely recommend that mod if you'd like a lingering sense of dread in your playthroughs. It's highly customizable and the most extreme of configs could even allow it tae outright crash your game.
I still vividly remember how the mods work, mostly in version 1.7.10 of Minecraft. Those were the days, playing mods on a less powerful computer. Engaging with mods triggers a sense of nostalgia in me, and I'm glad to watch this video.
I've been sinking dozens of hours into the old crash landing modpack for 1.6.4
@@hoonfoxdude that one’s so good. I just started replaying it again today
All my homies remember the silver age that was 1.7.10
We all dreamed of having friends in a server with Flans and having a fun war RP, or experienced the true birth of modpacks.
Woah thats right, why was 1.7.10 so popular with modding?
@@narnex3179 It was the longest lasting version of Minecraft, there was over a year with no updates due to the Microsoft acquisition.
I would also add Mo Creatures, More Creeps and Weirdos and old Aether. You brought me co much nostalgia ngl. Great video.
Mo Creatures! I really liked that one.
RIP Aether mod. Gone but not forgotten 😞
@@itssandman2u it just returned?
More Creeps and Weirdos...dude you unlocked a Core Memory with that one
I think Mo Creatures was the first ever mod I saw 😮 Mo creatures, More Creeps and Weirdos is such a throw back ❤
It’s so crazy how similar inventory tweaks and adjacent mods still are to this days, they perfected it way back when
Anyone remember shape shifter mod?
I think the morph mod is still around
God I used to LOVE the Clay Soliders mod, I would play around with it for hours just getting them to build their own homes(by putting logs in chests I think?) and having a cute little civilization. I miss that mod so much, I'd give anything for it to be updated again
On curseforge there's an update for 1.12. Not the latest, but still something
@@zoruauser 1.12 is like the definitive version for mods so
I remember when i played mods for the first time, my parents had installed tekkit on our computer so i made one of the buildcraft quaries in creative mode because i had seen it in a video and thought it was the coolest thing ever, then i did that and then i found a nuke block and i wanted to see what would happen if i were to blow up like 20 of them at the same time and then the computer crashed because of that...
I remember the Orespawn Mod.
Absolutely chaotic.
But also quite beautiful in a unique way.
Good Times
Never got to play it sadly but it looked ridiculous
@HollywoodExile there might be old downloads somewhere if you do some searching, or if you play an old modpack with the jar
@@Dingle22TM the creator is a massive dick for not releasing it free for a while
I sadly missed it when it was around. Only learned about it because there were some big controversies surrounding it, with some people straight up hating it for some reason
@@BierBart12 I heard the mod author is like a totally crazy conspicuous theorist or something
The herobrine mod could have actually been pretty scary if there were not chat messages, no glow stone letters, and if encounters with herobrine were much rarer.
and chuck norris
Bro the clay soldiers mod just unlocked a memory!!! Had so much fun with that mod. Super advanced for its time imo
My favorite older mods, the first one I ever played with, was something called buildcraft. It had chunk destroying quarries and little flying robots. It also had pipes and you could see as items traveled through them. I played it for so long and was so annoyed when it was no longer updated.
I think there is build craft for the latest versions now
@@airgeadlamh The latest version it was on was 1.12. There's news of it being updated for Fabric for modern versions, but that project has been going on for years, so I'm not holding my breath. Still, there are plenty of 1.7 and 1.12 packs that make good use of it that are tons of fun to play even today!
I think dan had that included in the diamond dimensions
If you weren't there for IC2/BC/RC/Forestry servers, you've missed a lot. Still one of my favorite combinations.
I loved it, if you liked their quarry, you might wanna check out quarry plus
i miss when minecraft youtubers reviewed mods like this, sky, ssundee, DTM,even the bert and Erie guys i miss those days
Not Sky. He's like an actual monstrous psychopath who ruined all his friends' lives.
DireWolf20?
@@mulqueen2023 he is a monster, but back then he was part of mine and a lot of others childhoods.
@@mulqueen2023 Yeah, that sucked a lot when I learned about it. I watched him so much as a kid, I actually started calling gold butter on pure instinct.
There's actually a pretty cool mod similar to Zeppelin for modern minecraft called Valkyrien Skies, however, you will need the Eureka! expansion for it to make it compatable with survival.
I have that mod downloaded, it’s really cool and works very similarly and you can make boats and airships respectively with it
There's been a few versions of the mod over the years. Zeppelin, Davinci's Vessels, Valkyrien Skies like you mentioned. I feel like I'm forgetting one though.
Airship Mod@@0osk
Archimedes Ship as well@@0osk
The cool thing about Valkyries skies is that it's a library mod, meaning that any mod can hook into it and create something that uses physics.
1:09 man that brings me back
My favourite part is the old crafting recipes, trying to make something new and complicated enough but also relevant to what you're crafting. Some mods and default things today are more complex and detailed to make sense, especially with big complicated tech mod packs, but when you just had portal guns you can't make crazy technology pieces and combine them so they had to find a suitably complex recipe using just normal old minecraft items, while making it make a little bit of sense.
Also shoutout clay soldiers mod actually the best of all time and I forgot about it until today. Aether and airship and stuff are legendary but clay soldiers just had so much whimsy, completely useless and pure fun, and I just love chunky little dudes
So im not nostalgic for playing the mods themselves, but im nostalgic for watching youtubers play these, and this is giving vibes to like mod showcases but with the new minecraft video style and I love it, great video man
Loved getting nostalgic about this. I remember deleting many METAINFS. As for old mod suggests there's the old equivalent exchange mod, mo'creatures mod, planes mod, moon mod, scuba mod, smart moving mod, tv mod and little blocks (big one). I also think it'd be cool to do an old adventure map video, stuff like deep space turtle chase and the super hostile series.
The music is a bit loud, but the video is fast paced and engaging, and your narration is good
I love to see people giving actual good feedback
I remember at one point in my life, my goal was to finally get mods running! It took me until I was 14 to finally figure out how to add actual mods and get forge running, but when I did, my face lit up with so much joy when I saw that after years of trying to get it to work and years of seeing DanTDM and Popularmmos vids on mods, it finally worked-that joy that I felt-and I still feel that joy to this very day!
I remember watching so many of these mods showcased by Antvenom back in the day. Nice video!
Bro, seeing this hit me with a massive wave of nostalgia. I remember looking up how to get mods on Xbox. Watching old minecraft mod reviews, playing on the first version of Xbox 360 minecraft. Those were the days
Nice throwback to a bunch of old memories!! I'd love to see a part two to this with stuff like the gullivers travel mod or maybe the original aether dimension!! keep it up!
Very well done editing and good to see people still care about the past, hope to see more.
watching this video dug up an old memory for me so thank you, i’m new to the channel but grateful for that lost memory coming back i think i’ll stick around
Bro deleting meta-inf folder is still mystic and unexplainable solution to a black screen problem
Your music is a little loud in the audio mix, but a great video otherwise! Loved seeing some of these mods again, or for the first time. I spent countless hours just messing around with mods in singleplayer when I was a kid.
This video is nostalgic trip, i remember seeing old Minecraft TH-camrs showing off and using these.
Classic mods? Oh boy, where to start? Minecolony and Millenaire are the classic village mods. Millenaire had pre-existing ones that you could trade with and help upgrade whereas Minecolony was more like a city sim where you built up the village. The Invasion Mod is an all-time classic for me. Loved pairing it with Custom NPCs and staging giant battles. That ended up forming the original setting of my first big world building writing project, actually.
What else...?
Biomes o' Plenty used to lean more into the fantastical. You could create a staff that summoned a portal to "the Promised Land," which was like the Aether only more hospitable and...pink.
Oh, and Thaumcraft. I think it was Thaumcraft 2, but it was the OG magic mod. Didn't really like Thaumcraft 3, but 4 was the shit. 5 too. I built a custom modpack that I shared with my friends and I mastered that mod. I built my own wizard tower next to the house and they would come by and watch me do cool magic shit, not even knowing what was going on half the time. I didn't much care for Thaumcraft 6 -- too complex and got rid of wands. Wands were the best part of the mod and replaced them with a glove.
I have no idea if it's still out there, but I remember the "Yogpack" which was a Minecraft modpack by the Yogscast. I barely remember what mods were in it, but I have fond (if not foggy) memories of playing it.
I also played the old Hexxit off of the Technic Launcher which also had Tekkit. Didn't play that one as much but I dabled with Industrialcraft. There was also a modpack that I can't remember the name of but one of the mods it had was an overhaul to crafting. Smelting iron ore would give wrought iron that wasn't used for tools or weapons. Instead you had to create forged items, put them into an anvil ("enchanting anvils" didn't exist yet), and hit the anvil with a hammer at a steady rate to fill up a progress bar to craft the item. It was actually a really cool mod. Wish I could remember it.
I forgot how much mods carried minecraft back then, its what got me into minecraft and has stayed the reason ive been playing it for years.
So about the portal mod, ive played the more recent versions and theyve made it so that you can actually see the other side of the portal through it, even yourself, without much latency if youre using a good gpu. Just something that popped in my head while watching this, great video tho
Also, if you shoot a portal to the moon, the other portal will be magnetic, pulling near by entities and blocks
Such a cool mod
Dude I just wanna tell you that the pacing and script of your video is extremely well done. Your commentary is really pleasant and relevant. You demonstrate the mod in an entertaining way without dragging out or overexplaining. Great video. I love the subtle dry humor. Very pleasant watch
ohhhhh i miss the creepers mod ... i can remember it being everywhere on youtube too . and i liked the editing btw!! waiting to see more from u:D
Clay soldiers is so cute. I wanna get this and build little battle arenas for them to bet on fights in SMP hehe
that's what people did with them. There should be some videos on TH-cam that you can watch
Clay soldiers? Clay RACISM
Claycism
I love the Elemental Creepers mod! It's a relatively simple mod that, at the same time, adds so much personality to the game :)
“our friend will start walking over here and.. explode and kill it until it’s dead.”
Yes, that’s what “killing it” means.
I remember playing the shit out of the portal gun mod, and elemental creepers was the first ever mod review I watched on TH-cam (fairly sure it was AntVenom's review at that haha)
ahhh this video sure brought back some memories of absolutely borking the game when installing mods on my pirated copy of minecraft 😭
i love finding these gems on my yt recommended
The first mod I ever played was Tinker’s Constructs, in 1.6. I vividly remember triumphantly figuring out how to install it after like a month of not knowing what to do because I was like 9. Super nostalgic for me
oh, the nostalgia of downloading mods for minecraft and having difficulty of installing it, rerun and crashed, over and over again... the old websites that contains a lot of ads and fake downloads, watching mod showcases online with your favorite MC YTbers... It was such a happy time
I watch a lot of videos like this but not ones from new creators I don't already watch, amazing video man, I'm subscribed!
7:00
clay soldiers gave me so many flashbacks
Anyone remember that tornado mod? I'd play on this one city map and get some tornados going and just listen to the sirens as I tried to run away from an F5. Unfortunately still the best environmental horror experience I've had in a videogame since then
oh my god yeah
Clay Soldiers needs a comeback sooo badly
despite nostalgia, i can still remember the horrible pain of item and block id conflicts. i spent so long typing in high numbers that it turned out were invalid because they were too big
these mods are so nostalgic remember seeing them in modded lets plays also damn good taste in music you have
Great video, very nostalgic! However I feel like the music was too loud at times, and you were constantly fighting to talk over it.
I love your calm style dude. This video feels so nostalgic. Im super sick right now and this feels like when i was sick as a kid how i would stay in bed watching all the minecraft mod reviews i could find.
This nostalgia trip was WILD, thanks
Underrated! Keep up the great work I heavily enjoyed the video
The herobrine jumpscare at the end made me jump hahahaha
I get a very difficult feeling when I see clay mod again. Like I saw it in a dream but I still remember seeing all of the mod reviews with it
oh man, Clay soldiers and zeppelin mod were a huger part of my childhood. This is really unlocking some old forgotten memories haha
16:59 you should do a video on the old mod of turning tiny or really big
9:00 man that mod was advanced for its time. Not even today do we have a mod like it where you can have moving structures THAT YOU CAN MOVE AROUND ON. Every mod after Zeppelin that was made for aircraft or moving ships has failed miserably when it comes to the player being able to walk around perfectly.
Idk much about the Create mod but can't you do something similar with that mod?
I think the most memorable mod from the beta days, to me, was the Mo Creeps and Weirdos mod. Wonder what the creator is up to nowadays.
Insane nostalgia for that one
so cool watching this because i grew up with these mod showcases
The OG "You are the Creeper" mod for Beta 1.7.3 was a _blast_ to play with, and trying to evade all the humans and trying to kill em...ahhh, good times!
7:20 racism invented
7:35 RACE WAR!
DIRT!
Man this brought back some great memories I’d totally forgotten about. In my first ever modded world I used the gulliver’s mod with the clay soldiers and a small block mod to create arenas for the clay soldiers to fight in and I’d join in to help my colour.
TooManyItems mod hit home hard because almost every single mod review youtuber used it
Does anybody remember The Legend of Notch?
0:45 is that the SA2 font
No
7:40 clay racism
I remember really liking the Nexus mod and watching so many videos of people’s bases to try and fight off the attacking mobs! The Clay Soldiers mod was always one of my favourite too
The clay soldiers mod giving me the nostalgia chills
7:00 racism mod
Please fix the audio in the intro. The music is too loud to the point your voice is being drowned out.
Single player commands and too many items were essential. A lot of mods just included them by default, before mod packs were really a thing
Mo’Creatures, More creeps and weirdos, The Aether, Twilight Forest, The Rapid fire bow mod and the time control one, Animal Bikes, Wireless Redstone, Pokemobs, and so many more mods that Im probably forgetting the name off. I remember filling up the family computer’s storage full of mods. Good times Minecraft modding doesn’t hit the same. I think it was the pure Wild West factor of it how you had no idea if a mod was gonna be absolute shit or not. I even remember downloading a virus mod off the forms which pissed off my parents thank the lord we deleted it before it could do real damage. 😢 Miss those crazy modding days.
Man, lots of nostalgia here. I miss these days of Minecraft honestly, so many awesome memories with friends. All kinds of mods and maps we played.
I’ve played every single one of these mods, except for the pistons, and this video brought me so much nostalgia. I even still call JustEnoughItems/NotEnoughItems "TooManyItems". Thank you
All of these mods are so nostalgic to me and I remember using every one of them! Takes me back to a time when mods felt really magical. I still love them, but now they almost feel too polished if that makes sense.
Man this was a blast from the past. One of the mods I remember was the micro blocks mod that let you build using blocks up to 1/16 the size of a regular block, letting you make stuff like detailed furniture and dioramas.
Watching The claysoldiers mod again unlocked a memory i forgot i had
Really nice video, In my opinion the background music is a little to loud though. Otherwise really liked it :)
One other thing I remember from the old modding days, open source was VERY rare, whereas nowadays it's not only extremely common for mods to be open source, but it's kind of expected. The majority of Modrinth pages link back to a git repo, all the most popular mods have several contributors, launchers like PrismLauncher have not only seriously improved how easy it is to mod the game, but they're also open source.
The reason this is a good thing is because it means all the code is publicly available instead of kept hidden by the developer. It makes it much easier for any random person to fix bugs and add features for mods they like as long as they know a bit of Java, and it makes it much harder for mods to hide malicious code because anyone who knows Java can just read through it and let people know if anything's there that shouldn't be there, as well as creating a fork, copying the code and allowing them to make their own modifications independent of the main project.
Overall I feel like the mass community move towards open source mods has been the single greatest thing to happen in the modding scene.
