OT: what happened to all those beautiful mods? Are they still there? I remember IndustrialCraft, Build raft, there was a mod that introduced bees (?) And another one called Logistic Pipes. Damn I was completely in love with those logistic Pipes
IndustrialCraft still exists: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/ic2-classic
BuildCraft never moved forward past the block ID change in 1.12, but it's still updated, IIRC.
Forestry hasn't been updated in a long time, but with the addition of bees in vanilla there's new bee mods to play with: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/productivebees
Logistic Pipes also didn't make it past the block ID change in 1.12, but there are a variety of new storage mods like xNet, Integrated Dynamics, Applied Energistics 2, etc.
My personal opinion is that minecraft modding is a lot quieter than it used to be because Microsoft has been playing down the Java version (the moddable version) and playing up the version you have to pay for addons / mods (Bedrock). But there's probably a lot of things contributing - aging demographic of the Java version, the fact that the mod API never happened and never will, disillusionment with M$, etc.
