This mod adds a command called /calias, which lets you change your displayed name to whatever you want(length only seems limited by chat send limit). For singleplayer, its fine. I do think for servers, there should have been some required privilege to use it, and/or a size limit. If possible, I would also have liked it to change the name displayed when using chat.(There is a possibility it already does this, I feel like it did at one point and a mod I added ruined it)
This is a decently old mod that displays player healthbars above their name. It tracks their health, and hides the bar when full. If you would like to have player healthbars displayed, I don't see why this wouldn't be your choice. I do think an optional setting to hide the healthbar when crouching would be something I appreciate, to make yourself seem healthier than you are or hide your health
Being able to control the glow of digiline data in the simple way implemented here can be very helpful. I mainly use this for controlling digiline data through diodes, limiters, and filters to avoid overheating my luacontroller. Its easy to understand how these function as well, although a long description ingame through new lines (\n and core.colorize())would be appreciated, since when I first found these on a server I just resigned myself to not knowing how to use these. I would reccomend.
Adds a good number of new biomes to luanti. The biomes themselves are well made, and there is a varied selection of trees(often the reason I add biome mods). The textures don't fit perfect with minetest games aesthetic, but there wasn't too much of one anyways so its fine. The heath biome a,so feels a litte odd to me, but its just personal preference. I especially like the rocks found in the badlands and alpine. For me, this mod is an upgrade over minetest games normal biomes, and I would reccomend installing.(If you have other biome mods, check settingtypes.txt. This mod clears all biomes and decorations by default)
This is a small mod that adds some colored options to the default torch. It does what says without having anything extra, and works well enough for me to include in my survival worlds. A setting that disabled the caverealms-specific recipes un favor of the basic ones would be nice. A mod I would reccomend.
Pretty bricks with many different options, and not nearly as many nodes.
This mod adds a few highly colorable brick types thanks to unifieddyes. The brick textures alone already look amazing, and somehow every single color i've used on this looked pretty as well. I first used this on a server, and I didn't learn about its feature of recoloring default bricks until I came here to do a review. This is a lightweight mod that adds a lot of decor value to your world, and I would reccomend.
Simple mod that makes deserts a little more interesting
This mod makes your deserts more interesting by adding pyramids to them. They are decently common and have useful loot. I like this mod because of it turns the game around from avoiding deserts to seeking them out for pyramids when you do find them. I would enjoy having a settingtypes.txt file though, to control the pyramid spawn rates and maybe make the spawners mineable? The mummies themselves don't feel dangerous enough as well. All in all, a mod that is very much worth adding to your world.
Completely changes the whole feel of techage+a good basic_materials retexuring
Even if I was not using techage, I would still run this texturepack for basic_materials, which could use the new textures. This trabsforms the whole aesthetic of Techage to someone more visually appealing. It fits the world better now thanks to the lower resolution. It makes using Techage as a whole a more immersive experience, since it starts to feel like it belongs.
This mod is one I usually include in my survival worlds, despite not being much of a builder. The stones are easy enough to make a simple base from. I also enjoy that they can be made into dye, and the slightly unrealistic recipes to mix some if the stones and dyes to other stones. It also offers a way to farm some of the stones (the quartz variants) by cookingthem in a furnace for the budding form, which passively makes crystals that can be crafted into the quartz blocks. There is also active updates to this. I think this mod offers more than enough to be worth using. I feel like some of the special stones like ammolite should glow, but thats just a personal preference.
This mod adds compressed versions to a handful of nodes, going up to whatever level you like. Its easily extensuble by just modifying the table that defines which nodes will be compressible. I like using it for more storage space. The only downside (who will actually have this problem) is that setting the number to high numbers like 200 causes loading times to be high, probably from applying the darkening overlay 200 times. Recommended for its flexibility and usefulness.
This is currently my favorite storage mod, thanks to the many features that make your items easy to access and move around. The crafting supplier is especially with mods that add complex recipes such as technic. The documentation also explains everything you need to know to use this, and is even avaliable in-game. This is a mod that I would reccomend, and something that you should definitely try.
Suggestion:
I don't know if this would be possible, but i would like to see a toggleable cable that can toggle itself based on certain configurable criteria. It could disable/enable itself when you have more or less than x amount of x items, or when there is a certain number of free slots left in a tool/passive supplier chests, and revert once that condition is no longer met. This could allow a storage to disable the smelting of iron lumps if you have more than 200 iron ingots.
Good, but could be nice to have more plants for different mods
This is a very nice mod, as it makes stuff soo much less grindy, but it would be nice to have more metals to grow from different mods. An example is Elepower, and you should make it possible to make bronze seeds. I noticed a bug that causes a crash when you break the the block a resource crop is on.
Does exactly what it says, but…

A well thought out mod that still works today.

A simple mod that solves not-so-simple problems.
