WRT your ore issue. In 1.7.10, item IDs have changed from something like "1" to "minecraft:stone." I've never used Reika's mods, so I don't know what the OreDict names look like. To find out, in game hit F3 and H at the same time. When you hover over a block, it will tell you the name.

Sure, in what pack, Ultimate? With it's beefed up ore generation?
Or in a modpack where you have only 1 of any type of ore, chosen by someone who wants every resource to count?

I run Custom Ore Generation, cut down ores down to mainly TE3 ores, and lower the chances of each vein/motherload. I also disable ore gen for ores that overlap but can't be configured via COG in my game. And then I pare down any ores that don't overlap with my COG stuff so that those feel even more rare then before, which is the goal for me; maybe I can't get all ores to feel like they do in COG and it's distribution system. But those I can, I do. And those I can't? I want to cut as many of those away as possible.
You act as if BnB isn't as difficult, possibly more difficult in all aspects of modded Minecraft, than what you do. If you really want to go the "I play harder Minecraft" route....

BnB is about as well thought out feeling as the IC2 Wrenching and GT Power Surge systems; needlessly cruel because that's how the author decided to define difficult. It may be solid in consistency but overall it's stupidly hard.

And besides; I didn't even say what mob mods I use. Ever tried fighting off Grimore of Gaia 2 mobs, Special Mobs, and Project: Zulu mobs while dealing with Zombie Awareness? Or tried mining when gas pockets can and will be a issue that can and will kill you?

BnB is painful, but honestly, it may be seen as a shining example of "Really hard Modded Minecraft", but even it falls flat compared to Epic Craft; and neither feels as fun as Dark Souls, yet Dark Souls is insanely hard, even compared to Castlevania and BnB.

Thanks a lot for this tip! I did not know that H+F3 combo.

Better than wolves isn't really hard, not notably harder than vanilla hardcore at least. Terrafirmacraft is hard to tech in, and has become increasingly hard to actually survive in, but the lack of monsters limits the danger.

I'd say if you want difficulty, TerraFirmaCraft with some custom mobs and zombie awareness as well as a sharp raise in zombie spawning rates.
