This mod isn't realistic, but instead, it simply slows you down to a stable fall rate while allowing you to move horizontally faster. Still very exciting though if you wanna go down from e.g. a mountain, from where you can nicely glide down and far! You can even use it in caves, especially when using something like minetest game, where meeting endless caves is so easy.
TIP: You can actually stand at the edge of a block by crouching, and then use the glider to wear it. Now, you can jump up like a spaceman, so not only allowing you to elegantly drop down mountains, but climb them too!#
All aspects of this game seem to fit together well, and the texture-work is very nice. It gives a calming and laid-back feeling. It also breaks some of the tradition with similar games, and I think it is for the better in almost all cases. Crafting works differently, farming is a bit different. Smelting and cooking is different. I also really enjoy that items dropped on the ground will lay flat on the surface in different rotations. This makes picking up everything dropped when chopping down a tree a bit more interesting, and it looks better than floating/rotating items in my opinion. And while talking about trees, there are also a lot more realism to them here than I am used to. There are branches and leaves that makes these trees seem less blocky, and I think it works well.
The weather-features are also very nicely done. Seeking shelter while caught in the rain and thunder feels very cozy, and the sound-design adds to that feeling.
There are weapons that can be used for hunting, or for defending yourself against the mobs. Right now there are a few different variations of mobs, and I think none of them are the traditional ones we are used to seeing in these kinds of games.
There are also items to help with your travel/exploration. These also work well even if they are works in progess, and I feel that this is the right approach to encourage players to explore the surface areas and occasional ruins that you come across. There is also much to see below ground!
All in all, I think this is very high quality already, and it takes a reductionist approach to the whole exploration/crafting voxel game that I think is fresh, and gives me the same feeling as in the old days. Even if it is currently expected to break worlds on occasion during development, I would recommend spending a few hours with it, because the author is clearly going somewhere very nice with this.
This game is very enjoyable to me. You can stroll through various different iterations of the "backrooms"-theme (like the pool-rooms etc) and each area comes with some unique things. You go through special doors to reach other areas and try to find them all and put them in your "album". The environments are very well made, and I really enjoyed the little details like dust blowing in the wind in one area for example. You have a flashlight that can be used to illuminate dark areas as well. There are no mobs, and you are utterly alone. You can sometimes hear footsteps in the distance, but that is about as scary as this gets.
All in all, this is a game I sometimes come back to just to stroll through the different environments and fanazise about what kind of world they are a part of. A very good take on the liminal theme indeed.
Technic + addons with thought from a user's perspective
By that I mean that there are improvements here a user would normally think of when e.g. trying to cope with the fact that the original technic has no basic HV machines, such as furnaces. This mod adds those!
There are even digiline cables (they transport digiline signals and power), which would come into mind when trying to get info from a nuclear reactor, or anything in general without moving it (e.g. you may not wanna move a switching station from a good place to a luacontroller machine)
Speaking of digilines, there are improvements in what machines can tell you; not only switching stations can provide lag it generates, but you can interact with even nuclear reactors, converters, quarries, etc., and I can tell about that because this has actual digilines documentation! I don't think the original technic has that. If you're not familiar with digilines, then I highly recommend you learn using them and the luacontroller, you can make anything with them using an easy language!
The mod also tells about its performance upgrades. I don't know how much faster this is than technic, but anybody would appreciate a speed boost.
Awesome if you know what's up, but confusing for beginners
The mesecons lab is a great place when you want to see how to build something when you're not completely sure how. On exmple, I could learn what signals to send to technic devices to query information, or how to even create such a technic circuit in the first place.
However, right now the game can also be confusing. On example, it sometimes can say "This is (something)" without actually explaining what it does. On example, you can see a demonstration of using the IO expander from the digistuff mod, but it can't teach you what it is at all, since it just says that it is an IO expander. I'm not even sure what it does!
Really, it often expects you to look at and understand the actual build, including looking at the luacontroller if it's used, so really, it is made for people that already have experience in mesecons and luacontroller. I recommend focusing on expanding the exercises section, so it can also teach beginners the basics so they can also start learning from those builds.
Digilines literally allow sending variables in between luacontrollers, and even other things too. Mods such as technic or pipeworks support those, and allow for e.g. querying information, which you can then display on the lcd screen included with this mod!
Of course, you can even install many mods that built on top of digilines, such as digistuff or digiterms.
I also recommend you check out the mesecons lab, where you can see many builds with stuff like mesecons, technic, digistuff etc.. In every section, they use luacontrollers!
Скрафтил одну наковальню, два молота - вот тебе и бесконечная станция для ремонта инструмента. С какой-то стороны можно сказать, что это слишком халявно
Годная библиотека для создания индикаторов, главное визуально вписывается в minetest. Единственное, на некоторых мобильных клиентах масштаб может гулять
Экономит время при постройке больших проектов, а также помогает устранять последствия грифинга. Только использовать надо с осторожностью, на горьком опыте проверено
Must have if you use screens and are a computer lunatic.
Finally Ctrl+Alt+F(whatever number that switches to virtual terminal TTY for you) in minetest! (Note: ctrl+alt+Fn is for switching teletypes on GNU-Linux)
But really, it's also a must have when you want the keyboard! It's very useful for e.g. sending commands.
It may seem complicated at first because it's programming, but in reality it's made in the easiest language ever (lua) and only requires a few functions to remember. The manual is so short, but it allows you to create anything! I recommend pairing it with digilines, which allow to send messages to not only other luacontrollers, but even other devices that support it!
This is a great mod, not only is it really cool to pick up those chests, (they even visibly appear in front of you) but also it is really functional.
I even realised that you can move e.g. chests with ores from your ore storage to an automatic ore smelter! (If the image doesn't load then right click
the text below and click on 'show image in new tab' or something like that if you're on desktop)
TIP: If you try to search for this mod in minetest and see 1 billion pages, then search up the technical name i_have_hands instead.
Note: The image here is a link to a propietary website. It claims it doesn't collect anything about you when you don't sign up, but it's still nonfree.Do you know about a free/libre image hosting website (similar to e.g. imgur or this one, postimages)?
This mod relies on minetest.item_place, which is very broken in this context. See: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/3134 . Any nodes which have an overridden on_place can be duped (!), this includes *_grass_1, default:tree (!), saplings, and probably so much more. Was this mod even tested at all? I've spent so many hours trying to fix this mod. I can either get it to accidently delete nodes sometimes when you try to place it where a sapling is (best case) or dupe every node (worst case). I'm at a loss. If someone knows a magical fix for this mod that makes it work with every node, please fix it and you can make fun of my struggle. If you're looking for a mod that lets you move chests, try i_have_hands. It to my knowledge has no crazy dupe or delete glitches.
i started playing this mod because i like balls, i really really like these ones, a sports addition would be rather nice with socker balls and goals and basketballs and hoops
You can tell that the creator of this game has an artist's eye. This is the only game that really interests me other than Minetest Game.
Pros:
Attention to detail is off the charts
Everything is designed from the ground up to create a cohesive feel.
not as grindy as Exile or Node Core
Trees look beautiful
Mobs have very natural movement compared to other mob mods.
Weather done really well
Everything fits together very well
Ruins look really nice
Cons:
Some of the sounds are really good, but there are some really bad ones that break immersion (e.g. walking through grass).
Not a fan of the texture style (more cartoony texture pack) but that's just my personal preference. That said everything works together well to give a consistent look and feel. If you'd like to see textures I favor look at those in Vintage Story (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpQGRtEg05g)
I would like more variety in leaf colors
Needs more gameplay
Needs modders to help make more content
Summary, I hope a team of developers and artists help Sumanian Voice complete this game. Let Sumanian Voice be the visionary who makes all the decisions, but this will take a lot of work, and it truly deserves a team effort because it is so promising. I prefer it to Voxel Libre & Mineclonia, and the other games, many of which have large teams of devs working on them.
I like this modpack and its simplicity. However, I have some issues with it.
The regular guns like the rifle and shotguns do not have an indicator of when they can be fired again so I'm always guessing on if my next click will shoot or be blank. Something like an animation or distinctive reloading sound would help in this area.
The hitech guns do not shoot, even after being charged with the Technic blocks. They will say they are fully charged, but they will not do anything. They worked before, but now they are chargeable decoration. What could be causing this? I don't recall doing anything drastic with the mod.
I find that this mod is super interesting for building large constructions quickly and eliminating movement. Its use is very intuitive, it is one of the mods that I recommend having in your inventory every day. Before this last update, I had fun improving this mod by adding a measurement block, a block which places a block in the center of two blocks, a block allowing a selection to be rotated in the direction clockwise or counterclockwise and a block to make the symmetry of a selection. It would be funny if in the last update of this mod, there are these new blocks.
Very very awesome in general, but lacks good documentation
This modpack is awesome, because it allows you to take your manual tasks like smelting to a whole other level. Not only it allows you to create actual energy factories like in real life (this mod generally is based off of real life btw) using generators from fuel-fired furnaces, geothermal things to even nuclear reactors, to power awesome machines, such as not only better furnaces, but even cool things like e.g. grinders, which allow you to basically double it and give it to the next person ore lumps by turning them into 2x dust that's smeltable to ingots! You can also connect those using pipeworks to make actual automatic machines that can do whatever you can imagine.
The long process of going through the materials, machines and generally exploring the mod is also really fun, but not as fun as it could be. Why? Because let me introduce an issue of this mod:
The manual doesn't guide you step by step at all, and makes you feel like it just talks about random unordered things. E.g. after introducing metal processing techniques (which really should be after telling you how to even create such machines in the first place), it already jumps into stuff about uranium enrichment, which is basically about the endgame freaking nuclear reactor. It doesn't even have anything about starting to build machines, really. Atleast while the manual is bad, you can still look at guides from other sources, such as games like the mesecons lab, which can show you some example technic builds and how it works. I heard you can also check out servers, because some offer technic tutorials. Really, the documentation still has some decent information about e.g. ores, but can't teach a beginner fluently at all.
Thanks for bringing this bit of minetest nostalgia back to life. You have no idea how excited we were over a decade ago to get a toilet in Minetest. It made it seem like anything was possible in this game. Good times.
It adds buttons for faster crafting, such as some on top of the crafting area to distribute items in common patterns, one to clean up the grid by putting leftover items into your inventory, or everything else that you can see in the screenshot of this mod. Basically very welcome addons to make your crafting faster and easier.
It provides a minimalist base for modding your game to your liking. It has some features and mechanics that are better than MC IMO, such as having the crafting table at the inventory, mined stuff goes directly to your inventory, picking up the items from the ground with a click (so your inventory won't get filled with crap when you run over items), stacks of 99 items.
It would be nice to add a stone finder by name, since it becomes very difficult to build with a certain type of stone and search for more, which come out at random. Furthermore, it would be nice to make the mod compatible with the circular saw from More Blocks.-
I love the variety of trees and plants! The wood textures and biomes are great! I like that there are many fruit bearing trees, so we get plenty of foods. As an explorer and hoarder, this appeals to my need for collecting each tree, flower, biome sand/stone/dirt, and food source.
The only two issues I have with the mod are:
Doesn't play well with other biome mods nor moretrees mod. (It tends to override the generation of their plantlife.)
No circular saw compatibility.
I have yet to test this mod with technic's CNC machine.
Unrealistic, but cool
This mod isn't realistic, but instead, it simply slows you down to a stable fall rate while allowing you to move horizontally faster. Still very exciting though if you wanna go down from e.g. a mountain, from where you can nicely glide down and far!

Экономит ресурсы
Скрафтил одну наковальню, два молота - вот тебе и бесконечная станция для ремонта инструмента. С какой-то стороны можно сказать, что это слишком халявно
Простой легковесный API
Для своих модов использую его. Да, местами мобы подтупливают, или спавнятся не так как задумано, но это не критично
Красиво
Годная библиотека для создания индикаторов, главное визуально вписывается в minetest. Единственное, на некоторых мобильных клиентах масштаб может гулять
Хороший функциональный инвентарь
Если i3 делает упор на стиль, то unified_inventory на удобство, кастомизабельность и стабильность
Маст-хэв для билдинга
Экономит время при постройке больших проектов, а также помогает устранять последствия грифинга. Только использовать надо с осторожностью, на горьком опыте проверено
Топ транспорт для мультиплеера
Что может быть лучше, чем отправиться в воздушное плавание на дирижабле с друзьями? При этом он не сильно нагружает сервер

Congrats! You're the 1000th person to repeat "Better than redstone"!
This mod is great, as you can see in other people's reviews, but I just wanted to highlight something awesome.
I recommend you check out the luacontroller. #

Excelente
Este jogo é muito bom e uma excelente saída para quem não pode pagar pelo minecraft.
YES
Waffles!
They're very cool to create, and give 4 stamina buns/hearts
Not as OP and customizable as THE Ice Creams Mod, but still allows to craft great decoration blocks
Edit: I just found out that you can open the waffle thing while the waffle is being made and see that it gets more and more orange!
I really do have hands!
This is a great mod, not only is it really cool to pick up those chests, (they even visibly appear in front of you) but also it is really functional.

Minetest nostalgia
Thanks for bringing this bit of minetest nostalgia back to life. You have no idea how excited we were over a decade ago to get a toilet in Minetest. It made it seem like anything was possible in this game. Good times.
Great Mod
Nice to play. I'm hoping some improvements to gameplay including other floating biomes.
"Better than i3" Plus
If you use Unified Inventory, this is a must have
It adds buttons for faster crafting, such as some on top of the crafting area to distribute items in common patterns, one to clean up the grid by putting leftover items into your inventory, or everything else that you can see in the screenshot of this mod. Basically very welcome addons to make your crafting faster and easier.
Great mechanics
It has great mechanics, but it shoud be a crossbow, not a bow. It removes the weird stuff from the original mod.
Excellent mod, cute animals!
This mod is really well made. It adds the needed life to the game.
Cool mod
This should be in the base game.
Great mod
It fits the game really well!
Great base for modding
It provides a minimalist base for modding your game to your liking. It has some features and mechanics that are better than MC IMO, such as having the crafting table at the inventory, mined stuff goes directly to your inventory, picking up the items from the ground with a click (so your inventory won't get filled with crap when you run over items), stacks of 99 items.
Ok, but...
