A single dragon which provides a credit screen versus a ton of new stuff to craft and new blocks to mess with.

Did I ever once say that your oh-so-precious mods lack new content? No? Then quit putting words in my mouth.

The biggest problem I have is that mods like IndustrialCraft or w/e is that the point of the game goes from "explore vast landscapes and dig through the deepest caverns you can find. Beware of monsters" to "set up your factory, press button, get sandwich. If you get attacked, your magic armor will withstand anything, so take your time. When you get back, one-shot everything with magic unbreakable sword".

Perhaps I'm overstating the capabilities of your stuff, but that's the impression I get from your description.

If I put in the time to get god-tier equipment, which incidentally takes far longer than anything in vanilla to make, then yes I expect to be pretty safe from ordinary mobs.

And yes, I do want these mods to also add in appropriate god-tier challenges for when you HAVE that equipment. I see where you're coming from, the stuff in some of these mods is super overpowered for vanilla minecraft challenges. It's not intended for those challenges though. Its intended for the eventual challenges included in those mods to match the equipment they give, or the challenges put forth by other mods which are nigh impossible with endgame vanilla diamond equipment.

Really it is just different ways to play the game. You seem to be offended that I play my game differently, which I don't understand. Its not like it affects you if I go play with mods, or even cheat.

• Strongholds and their nether counterparts are to get pretty difficult to navigate and survive, especially with new nether mobs that drop important items.
• Just finding an End portal can be a time-consuming, and then you must farm a somewhat rare mob in order to get enough drops just to fix the damn thing.
• Once in the End, you are attacked by Endermen, which will teleport frequently and can easily rush you if you aggro too many at once. You also have the dragon to contend with, which regenerates health from difficult-to-reach platforms (though you can destroy them with arrows, assuming you brought enough) and can still kill your ass.
