Most polished modpacks & where to find them.
After several years spent with other games, I hoped to dive into a new Minecraft modpack, but I'm once again reminded how difficult it is to find a high-quality one. The most downloaded/endorsed pages of Curseforge or Modrinth are full of mindlessly-made kitchensinks (anything by LunaPixelStudios, ugh), meme packs like RLCraft, or vanilla plus packs where mods are an afterthought. Looking up something like "best Minecraft modpacks 2025" gives me youtube videos and articles listing over 20 examples of popular lists, which immediately tells me not to pay attention, since nobody could possibly have played all 25 packs for long enough to know how good they are all the way through, and the authors are obviously just copying the toplists and each other.
I want real users who have put hundreds of hours into a single pack to explain its good and bad sides. I want to hear what they enjoyed most, which part of the experience dragged, which mods didn't work well with each other... The best place to get this sort of information from real users is usually Reddit but... where are all the modpack reviews? Where are all the community-curated guides to current modpack trends? Where are the recommendations for new players?
r/fantasy hold annual polls for the most popular book series. r/truegaming host in-depth discussions of game design. r/pcmasterrace link to detailed guides to PCs. Where do I find the Minecraft equivalent of those things?
