Mod Suggestions for 1.6

[SkeletonPunk]

Mod Name: Mutant Creatures
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1336132-164spmp-mutant-creatures-mutant-skeleton-v144/
Version: 1.6
Reason: Makes Minecraft way harder and has some awesome item drops and armor!

 

[Aetherr_]

Mod Name: Ars Magica 2
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/2028696-ars-magica-2-162164-version-100-updated-oct-12/
version: 1.0.0
Reason: Everyone loves more magic!

 

[GPuzzle]

Mod Name: Defense
Link to Mod: http://emashersmods.wikispaces.com/Downloads
Version: 1.2.1.0
Reason: What, barbed wire and forcefields as early-game defensive measures aren't enough?

Mod Name: GasCraft (addon to Engineer's Toolbox)
Link to Mod: http://emashersmods.wikispaces.com/Downloads
Version: 2.0.2.0
Reason: More fuels and generators (such as hydrogen and smoke and natural gas), and neurotoxin if you want to recreate Aperture Science. Oh, and some cool machines!

 

[Painstouch]

Mod Name : Extra Buttons
Link to Mod: https://github.com/jaquadro/ForgeMods/releases/tag/1.6.4.1
Version : 1.6.4.1 rv1 for MC 1.6.4
Reason(s): Again, filling a niche of usefulness in a default moded environment with a handful of modified buttons.

//MUCH LATER

Mod Name : Nether Essence
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1890111-164-nether-essence-mod-v103/
Version : v1.0.3 for MC 1.6.4
Reason(s): On the topic of niche mods, this one squeezes in a not too overpowered, but still a nice way of another way of using Netherrack in the game. Let's just say, thing can go Kaboom!

 

[50_Ind1g0]

Mod name: Leather ++
Link: Here
Version: 1.6.2
Reason: Adds an incentive to use leather armor

Glass Extended
Link: Clicky!
Version: 1.6.4
Reason: Glass houses w/o annoying 'stair cases'

(will suggest more, accidentally closed tab )
Someone beat me to suggesting the back pack mod.

 

[FredTargaryen]

Name: Schematica
Link: Click here
Version: 1.6.4
Reason: This is a really handy practical mod. Many mods in FTB feature tricky block structures, such as IC2 factories, automated farms and Buildcraft quarries. When starting a new world, remembering what goes where can detract from the fun. With Schematica you can export block layouts as .schematic files, then use the mod to import them into the world as a ghost image to guide you. This mod lets you copy whatever you want, from a Thaumcraft base, to a village, to large sections of your world.

Name: Witchery
Link: Click here
Version: 1.6.4
Reason: I find this mod interesting because it initially takes a quieter, more Minecraft-like approach to magic, in contrast with the flashes and bangs of Thaumcraft and Ars Magica. It becomes quite complex, though, and soon you'll be bargaining with demons!

Most of the mods I had in mind have been posted here already, but in general just shoving all the mods in this topic into the next pack would make it absolutely stunning. Riddled with conflicts, possibly, but stunning.

Mod Name : Unlit Torches and Lanterns
Link to Mod:http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1690690-152161162-sspsmplan-unlit-torches-and-lanterns-v12929/
Version : MC:1.6.4 version:1.29.29
Reason(s):It adds more challenge to the game with ingenious mechanics and new lanterns. Although I suggest changing the config so torches don't degrade on their own.

Mod Name:Exp Chest
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1119919-forgessp-164-exp-chest-v3/
Version: 1.6
Reason: Have you ever been just starting out in Minecraft, decide to go caving,decided to go back to your house, and saw like 3 creepers and 5 skeletons. And it just so happens that you got 40 levels from all that caving you did with your awesome caving skills.Well if you got an Exp Chest all those worries will fly away into the sunset!

Mod Name : Enhanced Portals 2
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1301217-162-enhancedportals-2/
Version : 1.0.8 (Minecraft 1.6.2)
Reason(s):

This allows for more creative builds using Minecraft's default portal system.

Mostly aesthetics, a simple mod that does one thing well.

[Omegatron]

Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic...der-sp-mp-the-dalek-mod-updated-151013-forge/

It also has a TARDIS that you can use to visit Skaro (and later other dimensions planets), Bessie the car, 3 types of sonic screwdriver that can activate redstone, a vortex manipulator that lets you visit previous versions of the game (cave game, classic, and infdev with more coming), fezzes, bow ties, scarves, nitro-9, and a few other things.

Mod name: Witchery
Link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1992544-164-forge-witchery-072/
Version: 1.6

 

[smenes]

Mod Name : MapWriter
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1570989-164-forge-mapwriter-an-open-source-mini-map/
Version : 1.6.4
Reason(s): The best mini-map for minecraft. Less ressources demanding, if you compare with other mini-map (~10 time less cpu/ram on my side). It functions like the maps in many RPG's, not only showing your immediate surroundings, but also everywhere you've been before. No more need dynmap on server. More easy to find biome you have already discovered (essential with BoP). More balance since you can't see mobs on radar. You can manage your waypoints by group and show only specific group. A lot more option.

 

[JamtlandOutdoors]

Mod Name : The Quantum Computing mod​

Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1946878-quantum-circuits-computers-redstone-compatible/​

Version : 2.0.1​

Reason(s): Lets you build free-form quantum circuits, and integrate those with redstone circuits. You can convert back and forth between classical (redstone) information and quantum information. It works well but it runs real circuit simulation, so unless the user knows or is willing to learn how real quantum circuits/gates work, he won't be able to do anything with it (we are making tutorials and stuff tho).​

 

[KiTA]

Mod Name : Tropicraft
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic...-tropical-realm-palm-trees-volcanoes-beaches/
Version : 5.0.1
Reason(s): It adds a unique flavor to the game, including a lot of interesting tweaks.
Note: They require permission to put it in modpacks but seem to be amiable to requests.



Mod Name : Dimensional Doors
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1650007-152universal-dimensional-doors-v141-eyes-in-the-dark/
Version : 1.4.1
Reason(s): The one-way doors are extremely interesting mechanically, and having the alternate dimension system available allows for ultra-compact base building -- at least, on the overworld. The additional dungeon content is also very interesting, and Limbo is a fascinating addition to the game.
Note: He requests that he be asked before adding it to a modpack, but states this is just so he knows where it is being distributed.

 

[Wekmor]

Mod Name : Magicla Crops
Link to Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic...ops-version-30-farm-your-resources-forge-306/
Version : 3.0.6 (Mc 1.6.2)
Reason(s): Interesting way to get your mining stuff, but you have to do alot of mining to get all the essence needed and coloured blocks, just if you needed more :b
