The description wasn't clear to me, so here it is: It's a bunch of recipies to make many (maybe all) of the base game items with leaves and stones – anything a player might struggle to find can be crafted… except maybe leaves and stones. By that measure it appears clean and comprehensive. Personally, I think it's a little too simple, but clearly I'm not the intended audience.
My original review was quickly responded to by the dev, reasonably and with respect, so of course I'm rewriting it. 😀 A cleanly written project, by a dev who remains attentive years after it's needed any maintinence, and who treats others with reason and respect is not something I take lightly. So if making iron from leaves and stones will improve your game or make you happy, go for it.
Also, if you want a code example that a beginner can make sense of, the package is only a couple of simple, clearly written and formatted files.
Doesn't Play Well with Others (But probably has reasons)
Having fled MC because of MalevolenceSoft I've been trying out MT. Mineclonia is nice with only a couple of real problems so far. No blaming or complaining, just info for the newcomer and the wary.
The biggest problem is that most mods require "default", so that's a problem. I don't know what exactly is being provided in default or if an api could be used to bridge the requirement. It's just a thing to know.
Next, Mineclonia supposedly provides xpanes, but I'm getting error messages about needing xpanes. These things happen, I'm sure it will get fixed eventually. There may be others.
Lastly, and this isn't a Mineclonia thing, MT modpacks aren't really modifiable. If I decide I don't want something, or want to swap it for something else, I can't. I understand the reasons. I also understand that it could be better. To be fair, even if it was conflicts and requirements can create a mess for modded modpacks and increase the maintenance. (Not that the problems aren't there, they just aren't problems yet.)
So I'm having fun, but I'm going to try some more packs. It's all good.
