As per title. I’m back to modded after a few years, but I’m rather clueless on which version is currently popular.

Bonus question: what are the most common industrial mods nowadays? And are people building their own packs, or downloading them whole?

    The cult of the new is pretty strong in modded Minecraft. To be honest, I haven’t done much modded stuff in awhile, but 1.16.5 is a solid choice or at least was back when I last put a pack together.

    Create is the big new mod that has everyone buzzing. In some ways it’s a reaction to the RF-ification and magic blocks/multiblocks that dominated the 1.12 era. Everything is very nice and modular, and it reminds me of Rotarycraft in that respect, though they are very different mods.

    Dang it, now I want to play some Rotarycraft. Reika has enough 1.7.10 mods that you can essentially put together your own pack of just them, but I digress.

    I feel that most people play modpacks nowadays, but maybe I’m biased as a packdev. I’ve seen some good progression packs come out, if that’s your thing. I’m biased towards my pack, Brass, of course, but Create: Above and Beyond is the official Create modpack with loads of custom content. I never got around to playing it, but it looks neat.
