This is not what mods do you like or want to see. This is for creating my own mod pack and I want to hear what you guys want.
  • More burnable furnace fuels(Bowls, Dead Bushes, etc.)
  • Stone tools are crafted with Smooth Stone
  • Most Items are more durable
  • Anvils are (a lot) cheaper
  • Fewer metal ores spawn(But TiCon will yield 3 or 4 ingots)
  • Axes can be enchanted with sword enchants in the table

  • Stone tools are crafted with Smooth Stone
Didn't mean to participate, but this just doesn't make sense. How would you make tools out of a 1 cubic meter block of stone? It makes sense that tools are made out of select fist sized stones(cobblestones) that are attached to sticks.

I disagree, I think it makes more sense, because you wouldn't make a pickaxe out of stones attached to sticks, you would take a piece of stone and carve out the pickaxe shape with a saw or something.

What such a change would do, however, is prevent "on the fly" construction of tools out in the field. First you've have to take your cobble and make a furnace, then take a piece of coal and smelt up some smooth stone... and then make your tools. It would be a change that wouldn't really do much at all, except make the game more aggravating due to always having to set down the furnace, have coal on you, etc.

Well as a person that has spend some time of my boyhood out in nature actually making such tools(usually with flint, but occasionally also with other sharp rock types) just as a challenge, it would be quite unrealistic to carve tools out of rocks. Instead you find naturally occurring rocks with the shapes you strive for and then chip off bits to make it into the correct shape. This is how man have been doing it through millennia.

It is however unrealistic that you can break stone with stone tools. They should be wearing down at the same rate as what you are hitting with them. I guess that is why mods like GT removes them and have you use Flint tools instead(You could argue that "Stone" is soft porous rock while flint is a naturally hard material with good edges).

Remove the stone tool tier and replace it with flint.
I want a mod that rejiggs creative mode so the lmb works as it does in survival. I have young kids that try to play minecraft. They aren't ready for survival but the lmb is too destructive for them and prevents them interacting with the world properly

Oh boy do I ever agree with this one.

I get sick of playing survival mode, and often wish I could just use creative mode instead. However, creative mode sucks because whenever you left click a block, it doesn't break, it's just gone - POOF! I really hate that aspect of creative mode, hate it with a passion.

I want to be able to play just like survival, except have access to any block in the game. I do not want to have to constantly switch back and forth between modes.

Minecraft often frustrates me like this. It's a great game, but after a while I just get bored in survival because everything takes forever (I play GregTech modpacks). I end up losing interest in my worlds, and I never get to "late game" and thus never get to play with the fun stuff.

You could install NEI only and play in survival mode with cheats activated ?

I play GregTech modpacks)
Don't mean to be hateful to any mod but there's your problem with boredom and taking too long.
And I will eliminate the stone and have it where crafting a flint one will probably give you the TiCon version.

Just thought of this one, breaking sandstone gives you 2-4 sand, and fortune lets you get 4 more often
And overall furnace fuels are less efficient
This pack isn't meant to be hardcore just trying to make the game different
