Hi everyone,
I am sick of starting, playing and deleting modpacks. Its very frustrating. Every pack i played becomes unplayable after some exploration or adding some machines to it. Its start lagging, server skips x ticks or client gets fps drops or Client or server crashing (usually after connecting two machine from different mods [very rare example]). Its not possible to understand that pack is unplayable just from the beginning. Can someone share with me the answer of "what is the most stable, reliable, worth to try modpack in minecraft history?" It doesn't have to be an official ftb pack. It can be from any launcher. It can be any version of minecraft. It can have less than 100 mods but you know, more mods generally means more fun and also less stability.

My Pc should be enough for running a 1-3 player server+client:
win7-64bit, Java8 64 Update 161
i7-3820 3.6GHz
24GB RAM
main gpu:Gtx 970 4GB,
secondary gpu: Gtx 680 2GB ,
SSD Raid 0: 256GBx2 Kingsdom something something
WD Green 1TB, Velociraptor 600GB 10k rpm, WD Black 2TB

Some usefull old posts from 4 years ago:
https://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/most-stable-modpack.50776/
https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/22p1vp/most_stable_modpack/

*Im going to re-play and try some of the 1.6.4 packs while waiting your answers. After 4 years there should be new answers right? I know that "oldies goldies" thing but there must be new stable packs. Also there can be other stable old packs which people didn't mention it in those two old threads.

Well, there's one problem. You are trying to run a server and client on the same PC. That will always cause performance issues.
Also, newer versions of MC require more memory then previous, which will also affect your gameplay.

No pack is stable, but performance shouldn't be an issue until a lot of automation, or a lot of world gen going on.

You could try my 1.7.10 Shattered pack, that I've recently updated and uploaded to curse/twitch. Link in Sig.

You might have luck with something official like the Direwolf20 packs. They get a bit more scrutiny because of the streamers and other traffic, and as a result (somewhat) more attention to stability issues.

Perhaps avoid packs with certain known offenders. Some people have a good deal of trouble with Mekanism and Tech Reborn for instance. (And others have no trouble whatsoever. YMMV)

I agree with Golrith that no pack is (completely) stable, but obviously some are more so than others :)

Thank you for your answers. Ok, im giving it a try:
Downloaded Shattered, now its openning. Interesting, how a modpack with 129 mod quickly loaded like that! It took just 62 second. Something really wrong with new minecraft versions. Can't belive my eyes how quickly opened this. And you are so right with long map creation time. Thanks for the warning there. I will already closed and deleted if i miss that warning before. Lol i wish i miss that warning its not opening xD Strange how worldgen effects this much to load. Are you sure this "Converting world" section has an end? Finally! Good, xp system there. Hmm still flying in a void. Still flying in a dark void after 10 minutish... You should change packs name to Patiencecraft. Hmm maybe i should sleep, game would be ready to play by morning. Its definetely a record. Its night time and map still not opened. How many ingame weeks should we wait to load? Its midnight and i totally lose my faith to worldgen. Looks like its broken. Maybe you should discard some worldgen. I read somewhere 1.7.10 has worldgen issues and looks like its miraculously true. Ok im sure it passed 15 minutes and there is no any improvement so im closing it. Im calling it Voidcraft: My Patience Evolved You should port it to latest minecraft Voidcraft 2: I Hug a Creeper for an End.

Tried to download Direwolf20 1.6.4 via Twitch but its giving "Addon Install Error: Cannot find child addon: 70286" than "Profile Error: Cannot find child addon: 70286" than it cancels the download. Tried to download again (after couple hours) but still same error. 1.6.4 is too old and probably nobody is trying to download that pack but anyway i did report this issue. Probably they will fix it soon. Maybe... I remember Direwolf20 1.6.4 pack, it was one of my longest minecraft experience. Maybe i should play again Direwolf 1.12.2 pack.

If you want 1.6.4 packs, MultiMC can now download the various FTB packs natively. I'll suggest both Modular Mayhem and Modular Mayhem Reloaded. Excellent packs, by the author of Crash Landing (also available via the Twitch launcher.) If you find a bug you can report it to him and he'll more than likely either be able to fix it or be able to tell you how to work around it. There's also Space Astronomy 1, which is a guided 1.7.10 pack. There's also Automaton, which is a 1.12 Immersive Engineering based pack. It's much smaller than the other packs, but is technically hardcore, having changed recipes but done so sensibly. IE you need HOP Graphite Ingots to make Applied Energistics controllers, but making the dusts is one of the prerequisite quests to unlocking the AE questline. It's extremely well made.

Have you allocated 4 gb memory to minecraft? 1.7.10 and earlier packs had quick load times to get to the menu, but took an age to get to the game world. Newer versions now take an age to load to the menu, but are quicker to get into game world.

I've seen the "stuck in void" had it happen to me, it's the world loading up, your PC is trying to catch up which is usually a sign of low memory allocation.

hmm

Hmm, i was using "locked" and "use system settings" but i already give it in twitch/minecraft options to 7,424 MB ram before. (just checked its still 7,4k mb ram allocated for default settings) Im not sure did it used 7,4k ram or not.

I will set it manually and try again:
Im unlocking and giving it 8000MB in modpack options in twitch.

Checking JVM arguments:
-Xmx8000m -Xms256m -XX:permSize=256m -Dminecraft.applet.TargetDirectory="C:\Users\Hmm\Documents\Curse\Minecraft\Instances\Shattered" -Dfml.ignorePatchDiscrepancies=true -Dfml.ignoreInvalidMinecraftCertificates=true -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US

I'll try the old "new world" (which i tried yesterday) than if it still not works, i will create a new one.
No need to create new one its working.
There are some texture issues but its working. Nice. That pink/black blank texture errors: Moonstone from Meta Mod: Custom Items mod same for average coal ore, basalt, inferior coal ore, bitumen sand, quartz rock and flint pile. Simply when i look around %5 of the blocks are have this issue. Is it normal? I mean i know its under development, you're working on it. Is it supposed to happen? Did you give them textures?

Im creating newgame just for checking this texture issues.
Stucked in a void again. I presume if i quit at this moment, it will cause that texture issues again because it will interupt worldgen right? At least we are sure for 8GB ram now and same problem happening again. Its passed at least 5 minute, there is no any improvement, its just like the yesterday. Im quiting to title. Its not quiting, it stucked in "Shutting down internal server..." Time to close minecraft...Java not responding...Closing it. Im re-opening Shattered again. Ok its crashed when i tried to join "new world 2"

The game crashed whilst exception in server tick loop
Error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1

At least its able to open the first world.

Allocate less ram, more doesn't mean better with Minecraft + Java. Also you need to follow the instructions on the pack info and enable the texture pack that downloads with the pack.
Are you also using the correct world options? Needs to be FWG with skyisland + mod support.

I missed that bottom part of the text. I was using default world. Now its working, thank you.
Great, happened to me in one of my test worlds, I forgot to set the correct world generation. Drove me mad trying to work out what had changed - douh!
