There are so many mods core mods missing, so many new superflous new ones that I honestly couldn't careless about. This is 1/2 Unleashed, 1/2 something else entirely replacing the other half of Unleashed.
Missing aka "What the hell we're you thinking leaving these out.":
Iron Chests
Ender Storage
Advanced or Compact Solars (you have compact windmills but not solars?! What. )
Extra Bee's
Extra Tree's
Dartcraft
Voxel Map (Opos/Mapwriter is crap)
Factorization (Don't care about JABBA, I didn't use it for barrels. No other mod has solar steam stuff.)
MystCraft
Soul Shards
Portal Gun
Gravity Gun
Logistics Pipes (AE still hasn't figure out how to fill to # so its still a requirement.)
EnchantingPlus
Power Converters
Nether Ores
Gravitation Suite
Modular Power Suites (Really? The trash armor of IC2 is good as it gets now? Pfft. I haven't used that garbage since pre-forge days.)
"Things that should have made it because of popularity since Unleashed came out and they fit the feel of the pack":
Ender I/O
Mekanism
Ars Magicka 2
The "Why are they even here awards" mods.:
Agriculture. Food was never a issue and between all the other mods there already pages of foods, nuts and berries, seeds, it adds nothing besides that and we didn't have anyone asking for more.
IC2. Everything is done better by another mod, this is useless. You could save a ton of space by ditching this and everything associated with it and you wouldn't lose anything.
Better Storage. No thank you, Iron chests is better.
Roguelike Dungeons. This seems really out of place.
Just to be fair, some of these were left out due to bugs. AM2, Extra Bees/Trees are a perfect example. He did say once they are fixed they will most likely be added.
And about the minmap mod. I totally agree. The first thing I have done with both horizons and Direwolf's pack, is disable Opis (Its a server thing anyways) and put in Zans Minimap.
