There are a few things I would like to see in the world generation mod selection menu that would remove some hassle from adding mods to a world.
- Add a search bar: Self explanatory. Having to scroll through the mod list to find what you want gets tedious based on how many mods are present. Just being able to type the name of the mod would be a great help.
- Ability to sort (unloaded) mods in alphabetical order: At present the way unloaded mods are sorted in the left section doesn't make intuitive sense outside of installed mods being on the top. Alphabetical sorting would help with this.
- Highlight unloaded mods based on loaded mods' requirements or conflicts: It would be nice if unloaded mods that conflicted with loaded ones were also highlighted orange. Similarly, it would be helpful if unloaded mods that were requirements for loaded mods were also highlighted. Perhaps yellow would work?
- Ability to save and load modlists: Even with all the improvements above, it would still be preferable to use modlists when one wanted to reuse a list of mods whenever one created a new world.
Feel free to share critiques and other suggestions below.

Being able to record custom modlists would be nice, but short of that the ability to simply "load last configuration" would be enough for the majority of mod users I think.

That's a good idea too actually. Speaking of previous configurations, it would also be helpful to be able to load modlists from existing saves.
