Mod Review: Hexxit ModPack for Minecraft

First, I would like to apologize for not posting, I still haven't played enough games to review them. Except for today's subject.

I will be reviewing the Hexxit Modpack for Minecraft today instead of a standalone game, although the pack almost makes Minecraft an entirely different game.

The Hexxit Modpack adds a ton of new features, including, but not limited to, new mobs, items, events, foliage, and structures. The pack adds so much stuff and runs so well, that I can, at least for the moment, not think of playing Minecraft without it.

One of the most fun things I have found about it, is that it adds falling stars and Meteors. The stars are the more fun ones in my opinion, mainly because they don't obliterate their surroundings when they land. When you pick up a fallen star, you get a star piece and an experience boost, if you wait too long, it turns into stardust. Meteors are more destructive, but the Meteor chips can be turned into tools and such. There are different Meteor types, but I wont explain them since I think experience is the best teacher.

The pack adds a few new mechanics to the game as well, luckily there are books in-game to teach you the ropes. And if you get really stuck, just use the wiki page to figure it out. No shame in looking it up if you are really stuck. Games are meant to be played, and while it can take the fun out of a game to just look it up instead of figuring it out for yourself, it can be just as bad to not be able to play the game to its fullest because of a frustrating puzzle or item combo you just can't seem to figure out.

Anyway, I highly recommend this pack, and luckily for those of us that can't mod Minecraft to save our lives, especially server-side mods, there is a launcher available that downloads its own copy of Minecraft, using your account, no pirating here, then the mods, then it mods the game for you. Same with the server.

You can get them both here.

Thanks for reading!
