Oh well. It beats the hell out of a trollish flame war any day.

Aren't you glad you came back, @Unistic ?

Lol, yep still glad to be back. And yes this thread escalated quickly lol but its still interesting. I'm actual going to team up with some friends on a server and play a custom sandbox pack of our favorite mods from 1.7.10 while I work on another pack for a different version of Minecraft :D

Precisely, which is why even though 1.8+ were available, I stuck with 1.7, though I'm playing later packs, but until we get stable 1.12 modding, or wherever it halts next, there's no point completely going forward.

Buildcraft is coming along for 1.12. Word on the street is that Azanor just uploaded a new beta of Thaumcraft (assuming it's 1.12), so there's a chance we see something playable before too long. If @Reika ever decided to update, a new Golden Age would be here again (obviously, no pressure, but I can dream).

OOOOH What mods are left? Mystcraft is here. Buildcraft is coming. Thaumcraft Hype. OpenBlocks is here. Extra Utils has been out for a while. MFR is out. BC Silicon isn't out for 1.12 is it?
Thermal Expansion. AE. RF Tools.(Thank you @McJty for making the mod and keeping it very up to date) Draconic Evolution is not out for 1.12 yet. What other major mods from 1.7.10? Have Runic Dungeons or Twilight Forest been ported?

Its a very different kettle of fish to Twilight Forest in some ways, but AbyssalCraft might scratch an itch? It requires you to go via portal to different dimensions, fight nasties and get drops to progress further, and involves rituals? There may also be bosses, not sure on that one though. Its also considerably more Lovecraftian horror than fantasy.

I hope I wasn't the only one who actually really liked the change made to the Twilight Forest so there was progression, with areas being unlocked as you go through? It felt enjoyably characterful.

Sounds similar to another mod I used in the past, Divine RPG?

I've never played with that alas, but it sounds really interesting! There's a YouTuber called Krakaen who's been playing All The Mods: Expert Mode for a while, and he's done quite a bit of AbyssalCraft of late - it might be worth having a look at his vids if you're interested.

Ooh, these last like 8 or 9 posts are gettin' me all excited for the future.

I miss buildcraft something fierce right now. Once 1.12 becomes stable, I'm making a modpack. A proper one.

No my favorite mods for 1.7.10 that keeps me going back is Reika's Rotarycraft/Reactorcraft/Chromaticraft and Thaumcraft (but as ppl said its being ported).
Honestly I'm playing a custom pack on 1.7.10 right now. Also Thaumcraft is great but all its addons made it an even greater mod and those are still in 1.7.10.

But currently I'm hosting a FoolCraft 1.10.2 server for my friends and I. So there's about a couple more slots left but if anyone want to join (friendly, polite, +16, cool with joint builds and won't go nuts if something is out of place) let me know. We have a twitch group where we chat in and decide on which pack to play so the next 3 months give or take (take)we're playing FoolCraft.

Just to be clear, I don't believe Thaumcraft is being ported. I'm pretty sure Azanor rewrote his new vision of Thaumcraft (much like TC2, 3,and 4 are all definitely Thaumcraft, but very different). I'm not sure if this is the same 1.8 version updated to current versions, or if he went full Azanor and rewrote it from scratch - again.
