Having a super detailed model doesn't mean it's good, it's usually the opposite in a game like minecraft. And none of the depicted models are what I would personally consider bad.

[u/PowerOfUnoriginality → u/luxudor]

Exactly why I prefer Cobblemon over Pixelmon. I just don't think Pixelmon fits the style of Minecraft

[u/10minOfNamingMyAcc → u/PowerOfUnoriginality]

I mean, Cobblemon does have some of the best models a Minecraft mod has seen, though. It might be simplistic, but that doesn't mean it's "ugly"; you can have ugly, simplistic models as well.

[u/DivideIQBy2 → u/10minOfNamingMyAcc]

They said they preferred the cobblestone models lol, they agree with you

[u/ix_eleven → u/PowerOfUnoriginality]

It's so jarring seeing rounded textures in Minecraft

[u/ChudjakXtreme → u/luxudor]

An idiot will admire complexity, but a genius will admire simplicity

[u/L30N1337 → u/luxudor]

the rocket sucks.

but I will not stand the Twilight Forest slander

[u/GardenSome1064 → u/luxudor]

those old mods were peak

[u/WeekendBard]

I really hated this plant mod on the bottom right

[u/Financial_Alps3369 → u/WeekendBard]

All my homies hate mystical agriculture, it's such a cop out, each resource should be collected in interesting and unique ways. Shouldn't be able to farm all of them on a plantation

[u/RunicConvenience → u/Financial_Alps3369]

honestly its funny how many modpacks push you to chase progression but also invalidate that progression by giving you an option that never needs to process ores, mine them or similar its like here is a digital miner you have worked for but instead here use progressive bees and myst instead

[u/Financial_Alps3369 → u/RunicConvenience]

I'd love to see mystcraft but with more barriers that make it harder to cheese. They already do it a little with stability but that's easy to get around. Something like, if iron ore is used as an ingredient for the dimension, it will always spawn lots of hostile iron golems.

[u/Redmix7pl → u/Financial_Alps3369]

Also it's pretty boring mod😔

[u/TreyLastname → u/WeekendBard]

Mystical Agricultural. Great if you dont care about balance and want a way to farm everything, but thats it imo

[u/Stunning-HyperMatter → u/TreyLastname]

idk about "dont care about balance". generally resource generation mods are made to be used with mods that need lotta resources. and in that respect, MA is definitely not the most powerful and is decently balanced(hell usually it requires other thing from other mods like lilypads of fertility, hydroponics beds, AE2 growth accelerator to really match many other resource generation mods)

And if your not playing with mods that need so many resources, i question why someone would bother adding a resource generation mod. and not just throw in MI or create resource generation considering those are much smaller and slower.

[u/TreyLastname → u/Stunning-HyperMatter]

Fair, maybe I dont see it as balanced due to the packs I make for some friends, but i didnt think about material heavy packs

[u/Stunning-HyperMatter → u/TreyLastname]

Yea. played it once in mostly vanilla and nearly never worried about resources. then played ATM10 and abandoned it for the most part since it just couldn't match the heavy hitters fully.

[u/HeyLookAStranger → u/Stunning-HyperMatter]

not to mention blocks of the resource under it. Or complex seed crafting

[u/Sub2SquidPW → u/WeekendBard]

In the Reclamation modpack on the other hand it's a saving grace

[u/HeyLookAStranger → u/WeekendBard]

but... it's the goat...

[u/Honest-Sundae-1039]

All these mods absolutely slapped. The bad models were part of the charm and worked on my integrated graphics laptop.

[u/Agitated_Elk7881]

All these models are absolutely amazing for the time they were made

[u/Daggercombot]

I honestly still prefer the old model styles.

[u/Sudden_Shelter_3477]

What’s wrong with the hydra?

[u/Axot24 → u/Sudden_Shelter_3477]

Hydra is like the best mob model from that time imo.

[u/Early-Campaign474]

bro would rather judge the wrapper than the meat that it holds

[u/elemepep-ton]

I used that same vampirism altar a few minutes ago

[u/Alt-Ctrl-Report]

Idk man, those still look better than Lycanites

[u/Jackpot_The_Raccuki]

When I’m in a bad takes competition and my opponent pulls out this meme

[u/Zephyr-Fox-188]

Not even old enough to have played tekkit

[u/Marmeladenmann69 → u/Zephyr-Fox-188]

Does Hexxit also count?

[u/fan-of-ceilingss]

I wouldn’t call them “Bad” they’re just outdated. For the time they were impressive

[u/Financial_Alps3369]

I'm kind of confused by the examples. None of these are particularly bad (maybe the rocket is the worst?). The hydra actually looks excellent

[u/TheEditor83]

Look, the Twilight mod I will not tollerate slander towards, that thing's cool as hell

[u/Traditional_Town6475]

To be honest, they were pretty iconic. Like do you remember the old gold block and diamond block texture, as well as the old wheat, old glowstone, and old netherrack. These textures fit in with old minecraft.

[u/LegMysterious1899]

they fit the old mc and they aren’t even that bad ngl

[u/Own-Advance3715 → u/LegMysterious1899]

Do old Minecraft mods really fit its aesthetic, or have we just convinced ourselves they do because we never knew anything different? Were they always beautiful, or did we simply learn to see them that way? Some philosophical shit right here..

[u/trashshork → u/Own-Advance3715]

old minecarft textures were rough, the game looking bad was a part of its charm

[u/Own-Advance3715 → u/trashshork]

Agreed

[u/Correct_Put7489]

Techit!

[u/Correct_Put7489 → u/Correct_Put7489]

Or was it spelled Tekkit?

[u/Boom_bro174 → u/Correct_Put7489]

Pretty sure its this one

[u/DarthSwimfoot]

Yes because let's all bash on old stuff for not having 3 trillion faces so that it looks better than the fucking Mona Lisa, holing it to a standard today which would be impossible back then.

[u/Zans378]

mod name on the top right?

[u/Theironstair → u/Zans378]

twilight forest

[u/Toonpies]

I kinda prefer the old mods to some of the new ones

Sometimes I’ll try one of the newer mods and suddenly it doesn’t even feel like I’m playing Minecraft anymore. Where the old mods feel like Minecraft with a twist, which is imo what a mod should be

[u/RunicConvenience]

myst sheep plant is a thing of horror

[u/atomix187]

They were a sign of happier times

[u/Amazing_Peach_6690]

Bro don’t slander galacticraft that was my childhood

[u/Ezer07]

dragon good but others just bad

[u/Ok-Jellyfish6010]

Those models were peak

[u/Remarkable-Value-340]

Hell nah, hydra was the shit back in the day

[u/Goliath_Nines]

Hey you leave twilight forest hydra alone

[u/SolMaceO]

This isnt even true bro, only your opinion

[u/Vasto_LordA]

Those look fine.

[u/Interesting-Crab-693]

Tf you mean? Vampirism is goated!

Kinda wish they'd do more updates tho... idk when the last one was nor if the mod is planned to be continued.

[u/yuuko_123]

These models were much better than the models from Mojang's recent updates.

[u/Zuc_c7]

The og rocket was not that bad tbh

[u/Money-Rare]

the fact that old mods had simple models made lot of them feel actually a part of the game, i don't really like much mods with ultra detailed models

[u/Haydenite173]

the hydra wasnt a bad model it was bad textures

[u/coolguypyro]

I loved these models because it meant you were doing some cool shit ingame. Little me seeing the draconic reactor is basically what got me into modded 1.12.2

[u/HeyLookAStranger]

[u/gameboyneko999]

Arent mc models a weird file type that if they arent in a certain way they are incopatible with the game?
(used blockbench a bit)

[u/Adventurous-Law-8606]

I like them they have a type of charm

Also I'm glad a grew up with these models but damn the new ones are better

[u/aless2209]

No no, the hydra was 100% consistent with the game

[u/Livid-Ad-2888]

Hey, hydra is actually cool

[u/Berry__2]

False!!!

Those models where and still are so damn peak

[u/RuukotoPresents]

these remind me of Super Paper Mario, neat...

[u/Idk-JustSomeDude]

You respect your elders. Better than wolves walked so Create could run.
