I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.

I play a lot of MineTest, using the Asuna "game" (big modpack) and a huge custom set of mods, and have a game that's like MineCraft but utterly different. Others play the MineClone2 game, and it's fine, like MC 1.12 + some stuff. Repixture is an adorable mini-minecraft-like. There's a lot of people who use it more as creative, and many servers with various games.

It's definitely a little harder to set up the specific thing you want, but it's incredible how much variety there is.

I don't have any experience with multiplayer (so take it with a pinch of salt) but as I understand it if you try to connect to (for example) your friends game, but don't have any mods or games set up it will just set it up to match theirs

So based on that it may be harder to set up initially, but only the host has to do it

If I'm wrong about that someone please correct me

All the mods are processed hostside; the block info and etc. is sent over the network. This limits what can be delegated to clients, but lets joining completely ignore your mods, making it incredibly easy. Installing mods is also a few clicks, and there's a built-in mod browser. Finding mods is the hard part. (also games are effectively modpacks)
