I always underestimate how much better a house looks with a proper roof

I've honestly barely used any of the mods yet, because I made the classic mistake of building a really awful looking house in a rush before night time, so I've actually spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to fix it (when I really should have just built a different house and then knocked down the old one)

I ended up trying out enigmatica 2 light

and it's good!

• the grass rendering glitch doesn't happen in this pack
• it contains a lot of interesting mods
• it contains a questbook to help you through the mods (although apparently a couple of the quests are broken in the light version, so if your computer can handle the regular version, use that)
• turning on mipmaps made things look so much better.

maybe I should work out how to make my own modpack...

although: there's definitely something weird with the modpack, because the grass was always the same colour, regardless of biome

whelp, I've managed to ruin my brain by doing this.

I was playing a game in 1.14, but decided to try out a 1.12 modpack.

I couldn't stand the modpack due to the lack of many great things from 1.14, and due to the older textures being a lot less pleasant to look at.

I tried switching back to 1.14, but I can't because I feel frustrated about the lack of mods like minimaps and chisels and bits, and the lack of interesting long term stuff to do.

hmm, as I suspected, the sheer.... grossness of 1.12's textures made it really difficult for me to get into the modpack.

I think I'm going to try out Paths of Magic 3, but I'm also going to replace JourneyMap with Xaero's Minimap (which I don't actually know how to do, but I guess I'll try?)
