A major one you missed is called Evil Minecraft for 1.2.5 and the Legend of Notch for 1.2.5, quite the large scaled mod back in the day that was basically an expansion/overhaul of the game. On another note I think a video discussing the modding scene for older versions like 1.7.3 beta, 1.7.10, and 1.12.2 as it is today, especially 1.7.10 since in the past few years some amazing mods have been created for it. Just look at mods like ManaMetal, Angelica, and Et Futurum Requiem to see that the community is still very much alive while still being smaller than the community today.

Although, they themselves call it a 'spiritual successor' and are completely remaking all of the art assets for the features they add, presumably not to attract the ire of TheyCallMeDanger.

Funnily enough I remember a different invasion mod infinitely more. You set up a block to defend and waves of monsters would try to break it by slowly progressing and getting stronger and smarter, destroying and creating ways into the structure housing it.

An old one that I loved and I don't think you've covered, The Erebus. Or, the bug dimension. It never got passed the 1.7.10 wall iirc, but the mod was great for adventure seekers.
Erebus might not be further updated for a while now. However this mod didn’t end on 1.7 like witchery for example did. Erebus did get updated to 1.12.2 just like Galactictaft did. Whether it got new content or just got ported, I don’t know. But Erebus can also be played in 1.12, in fact, I did with a friend. We fought the tarantula boss and got to see all those insects, and the dreaded wasp as well. Since you‘ve addressed the Erebus, I‘d like to list some more mods that ended on 1.12.1: Abyssalcraft The Betweenlands Galacticraft OpenBlocks Morph
Clay soldiers, mo creatures and creeps and weirdos were my all time favorite mods back then. I would watch hours upon hours of uberhaxornovas lets plays seeings all the mods just made me want to play so badly but I wasn't familiar with minecraft modding till later (ah the old MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THE META_INF FOLDER days)
did you know the Clay soldiers have a secret giant unit ? by renaming the clay soldier item into "[I58O55]" , you can spawn giant clay soldier, i recommend older version, they have 80 hp and deal aoe damages.
It's so much easier now with the curseforge launcher and mod library, kids don't have to worry about putting viruses from shady "download here" ads or mediafire links on the family computer
Never have i *EVER* forgotten Clay Soldiers. I just randomly thought about that mod earlier this month. Without it I wouldn't still be trying to run Mini Empire servers a decade after lol
Maaaaaan, IC2 (and in extension, Gregtech), and thaumcraft were two of the largest mods that consumed my time playing Modded mincraft. Wish either would get picked up again and brought to 1.20
GregTech is still maintained, but the mod developer has made the choice to stick to 1.7.10 alongside a small portion of others (Reika's mods are also an example) that didn't want to rewrite their mods for 1.8 and above. There are unofficial ports to newer versions as far as I know. Thaumcraft has been picked up by the CoFH team (the guys behind Thermal Expansion) and is being ported to newer versions IIRC.
Clay Soldier Mods is one of my favorite mods made. I remember making arenas for them to fight in. I remember spending hours building maps and then spawning all the units and getting the parts to give them weapons, horses, etc. just to have a 3-5 minute fight, but it was always worth it
I remember having lots of fun with a mod called Hack Slash Mine. It got discontinued super quick and I always wished someone would bring it back one day. Man I can’t believe that was over a decade ago now..
1.7.10 nostalgia baby here. Still think of it as the golden age of modding and am completely lost when it comes to the modern modding scene. So I might as well mention some mods I still have fond memories of. - The first to come to mind is the one I'd first installed Forge for: it was a very wonky "Necromancy" mod that allowed you to gather mobs' body parts (and internal organs), and create Frankensteinian abominations by sewing them together and reanimating them with lightning. It also had two neat 3D scythes I was very autistic about at the time, hah. - One amazing mod seemingly forgotten by everyone is Intangible. It was made by Emoniph, the same one who created Witchery, and existed only for the 1.8 versions. It revolved around extracting different types of souls from mobs and using them to power various mechanisms, such as a claw/gauntlet that could cast spells, a way to leave your body and possess other mobs or players, customisable golems you could also possess, and an insane lategame where you could build *gods* into existence, worship them for supernatural favour, and summon their avatars as bosses. A shame the creator disappeared without a successor. - There was the Lion King mod, which had very fun questlines and excellent aesthetic, though by the time I played it I couldn't remember a single thing from the Lion King movies. It also had these inherently hilarious little creatures called "dikdiks." - For a short time, there was a very popular mod which let you apply various 3D accessories to your character model, visible only to others who were running the mod. This was way before I even had non-pirated Minecraft, and when I tried finding it again a month later, it seemed as if it never existed, but I believe various RUclipsrs made videos on it - might try looking it up once more, though it seems to have been largely succeeded by mods such as Essentials and Armourer's Workshop. - Lastly, there was Ars Magica 2, last updated for 1.10 for which I will forever weep. It had a one-of-a-kind spell creation mechanic I haven't seen any other _game_ -(Well, except for maybe Noita)- manage to replicate, allowing you to customise spell effect, shape, appearance, and so on. Of course, for that very reason, people tended to keep it out of modpacks for fear of it being OP. Thankfully, it seems to have two different successors in Ars Nouveau and Mana & Artifice... and another one called Wizardry, which similarly never moved past 1.12.2.
I loved Millenaire so damn much. When I was a kid I spent hours in creative mode giving the villages with so much resources and watch the villages upgrade and expand themselves. Iirc you can also make them wage war with each other.
I remember messing around with Electroblob's Wizardry, I *loved* that mod. It adds magic in a way that feels pretty vanilla friendly (Not quite as much as something like Spells & Shields, but much more vanilla-friendly than stuff like the plethora of tech-y magic mods), so I'm happy to hear an unofficial port in the works! :D
Chocolate Quest is another one, there’s also a team working on Chocolate Quest Repoured to bring it to newer versions. You could maybe do a video about old mods and newer counterparts like Cobblemon/Pixelmom, Chocolate Quest/CQR, and Orespawn/Chaos Awakens (a project, a bit unlike CQR, as it’s entirely reworking and enhancing Orespawn content, still very early in development though)
Minecraft Comes Alive- stopped in 1.12.2, but it was incredibly funny and thorough, especially with the villager editor (that used to crash my game sometimes).
Fun fact about Cory Scheviak: not only is he the creator of Tropicraft and an organizer for Love Tropics, Cory also became a Minecraft dev back in 2018(Just like how Kingbdogs created the Aether mod then later became a Minecraft dev)
tropicraft was my go to mod back then whenever i was a wee redstoner, the items from the mod are just so pretty. same goes for clay soldiers, i REALLY hope someone makes a new version of it, it'd be so fun to have the little clay friends back.
That thumbnail unlocked some core memories, I loved watching the clay soldier mod back when I was little cause I didn't have minecraft on PC and didn't even know how to mod it
Witchery was actually made popular by SSundee, but hey, cant blame you for making that mistake. he had an extensive long=running series in which Witchery was most prominent due to it allowing him and crainer to constantly prank each other with various curses and voodoo.
Clay soldiers mod actually inspired me to buy Minecraft. When I did get Minecraft java edition, the mod didn't hold up to all the recent and modern mods so I didn't even play the mod. I'll never forget the clay soldiers mod because I wouldn't have found out about Minecraft earlier if not for the clay soldiers mod. Also does anyone remember the alien vs predator mod or custom npcs?
Wow.. These are forgotten mods huh.. I think I still have many of them in my Minecraft mods folder, it's funny how time flies and how I enjoyed those days so much, but hey, things happen.
NGL, I have a separate modpack specifically for Millenaire. I literally consider it one of my CORE mods because of how much fun it STILL is. I hope it gets updated once again.
Millenaire has always been good for a fun time. I would install different mods to go with it, things like mo creatures and aether. There was another I remember installing called the magic wood mod, which would add additional trees into the world as well as their respective subblocks including chests. I was legitimately shocked when the villages used some of the blocks from the magic wood mod. It wasn't extensive, they just used what trees were in the area during generation, but it sticks out in my memory as a unintentional interaction between different mods.
To answer that one question, I feel you're too used to saying "Tears of the Kingdom" that you say "Tales of the kingdom" instead of "Tale of Kingdoms" I know that feeling.
clay soldiers and millenaire are eternal classics to me but tales of kingdoms is making me tweak because i remember seeing the mod in tobuscus' old minecraft series when i was a little kid barely learning how to speak english through youtube videos and this is unearthing core memories
I'm honored two of my suggestions commented on the last video were used as the top 2 in this one! Just now got around to watching this. I so miss the days of Minecraft that I experienced as a child. Minecraft felt more like a world to get lost in, whereas now in modern Minecraft there's goals and progression that can tend to make the game feel more like a chore than an immersive experience. Thanks for the nostalgia!
I remember Bibliocraft and I miss it, I remember checking the website just to see the progress on Bibliocraft, I hope the author behind it is doing something they enjoy, regardless of they’re modding or not.
I’ve never forgotten bout Clay Soldiers, it was the first mod I ever installed back when I was like 12! That and little blocks, I made a small to-scale Colosseum for them to fight in!
Two mods that came to my mind while watching this video was the RC Control mod where you had different remote controlled vehicles that you could drive/fly around and the big Star Wars mod where you had lightsabers, force powers, speeder bikes, space ships and so on
So remember gulliver's mod and combining with tiny blocks mod and i remember the recipe was with a dirt block and combine this with the clay soliders mod
I remember having really fond memories of playing with early versions of Thaumcraft back when it was just kind of a janky mess; retextured silverfish that turn into normal ones at the drop of a hat, items with metadata bordering on what Minecraft could handle back then, as well as mechanical jank like stopping cauldrons from spilling their sludge by just surrounding them with pipes. Another mod that has long been forgotten, but laid the groundwork for so much was mDiyo's inficraft. I still laugh at how he had the idea of being able to make tools out of varying materials where each material had its own unique properties to the tool, but the easiest way for him to implement that at this early stage was to just make a unique item for every possible combination of materials. Now there are several mods that have continued it legacy, from mDiyo directly he made Tinker's Construct, but there's also Tetra Tools as well as Silent Gear now filling that niche as well.
It was so good to see video showcases about Tropicraft, Clay Soldiers and Millenaire mods. I didn't know that Electrobob's Wizardry mod was released on Minecraft 1.7.10 Forge first time. I remember two mods I tried out in Minecraft beta 1.7.3 version very long time ago. The first one is Equivalent Exchange, which adds not just material transmutations with Philosopher's Stone, also adds EMC generators, powerful tools and two new material tiers like Dark Matter and Red Matter. This mod is still alive in form of ProjectE mod, which available on 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 Minecraft versions. The other tech mod is IndustrialCraft, which was introduced for Minecraft beta 1.7.3 version. That mod had machine blocks, eletric tools and multiple ways to gather energy. Although that mod has a different successor for Minecraft 1.12.2 version (which had different crafting recpies and mechanics), there is also a mod with a name "IC2 Classic", which has the good old mechanics. Besides 1.12.2 version, that mod is usable for 1.19.2 version too.
i used to want clay soldiers SO MUCH when i first learned about it from Dan TDM's video on it way back in 2014. im sad to know that the mod is pretty much dead
even around then, the mod was merely anything more than remakes that had about half the functionality of the original mod which was sad, they even used to be able to build houses
Millenaire is what got me interested in history in the first place, I was always fascinated about how the Normans have Norse ancestry and the Byzantines are essentially just medieval Romans. I still hold to hope that it may someday update to 1.16.
Just realized Clay Soldiers Reborn was just updated for 1.20.1+ (Forge, Fabric and Neo), after a year-long hiatus. It's now on V1.0, and the little guys could now ride Horses, wear Leather, wield Stick swords, and put on Glowstone. There's still hope! If you guys don't mind Quilt, you could also try Terracotta Knights.
witchery is being continued as bewitchment, I almost made it a part of my personal 1.12.2 pack, I also have tropicraft and birfrost (a fan continuation of orespawn) as pretty integral components.
Clay Soldairs should be picked up by a Golem Mod Developer you know build actual big castles with different colored golems that can fight for you and against each other that would be cool
I remember Flan's mod being one of the most played mods at the time. Sadly, it didn't get updated enough and it died. Sometimes i feel like i am the only one still playing the mod
Man,I remember when redstone lamps first released while I was a kid.It was such a great leap forward,alongside all the technology-based mods that it spawned as a result. Anyone remember Bluezephos being utterly incredulous at Sips & Sjin creating a fccking black hole bomb?
I am going to watch your other videos, But my personal memorable mods from Beta were Train Craft, Plastic Craft, and the airship mod. Plastic craft was such a weird little early tech mod before technic or build craft really got popular.
Clonecraft, or the My Peoples mod which has been last updated since 1.7.10, while not being the most popular mod- It is rather unique as you can use syringes through a process to clone mobs in the game as a sort of offset to creative mode's spawn eggs. You can also clone yourself in which you can set the clone to target certain mobs, harvest or do all sorts of tasks for you. Too bad it seems like no one has ever made a more modern remake since then because it is one of my favorite concepts for a mod I watched DanTDM play with back then. Also, I been looking for Tale of Kingdoms for so long man, you do not know how much I longed for to play that mod since Paul played it and I got Minecraft years later before getting MC in 1.6.4 and even years later after that. It is certainly a big mod for its time to have been discontinued like that.
There was a mod/modpack back in beta (iirc) which made the game incredibly more difficult. I can never remember its name but I remember that you had to create braces any time you went mining or else roof would cave in. I also remember there being multiple stone variants back way before they were a thing, and it being difficult to get to stone tools. Basically like an OG RLCraft. If you could find this mod, I'd be incredibly grateful
What other mods not covered in 1, 2, 3 do you remember and love?

Maaaaaan, IC2 (and in extension, Gregtech), and thaumcraft were two of the largest mods that consumed my time playing Modded mincraft. Wish either would get picked up again and brought to 1.20
GregTech is still maintained, but the mod developer has made the choice to stick to 1.7.10 alongside a small portion of others (Reika's mods are also an example) that didn't want to rewrite their mods for 1.8 and above. There are unofficial ports to newer versions as far as I know.
Thaumcraft has been picked up by the CoFH team (the guys behind Thermal Expansion) and is being ported to newer versions IIRC.
Clay Soldier Mods is one of my favorite mods made. I remember making arenas for them to fight in. I remember spending hours building maps and then spawning all the units and getting the parts to give them weapons, horses, etc. just to have a 3-5 minute fight, but it was always worth it
Clay soldiers mod was like a core memory of my childhood playing minecraft with mods
6:54 I remember yearning for this mod, it was so damn cool!
I love tropical settings! I’ll use it as reference for hyun!
I still Remember "Smart Moving Mod" which was amazing for swimming and crouch in 1 block because the game didn't have swimming support till 1.13
I remember having lots of fun with a mod called Hack Slash Mine. It got discontinued super quick and I always wished someone would bring it back one day. Man I can’t believe that was over a decade ago now..
It was actually updated fairly "recently" to support new Java versions. Still on the same Minecraft version though.
Tropicraft and clay soldiers were my favorite mods back in the day. Thanks for reminding me :)
1.7.10 nostalgia baby here. Still think of it as the golden age of modding and am completely lost when it comes to the modern modding scene. So I might as well mention some mods I still have fond memories of.
- The first to come to mind is the one I'd first installed Forge for: it was a very wonky "Necromancy" mod that allowed you to gather mobs' body parts (and internal organs), and create Frankensteinian abominations by sewing them together and reanimating them with lightning. It also had two neat 3D scythes I was very autistic about at the time, hah.
- One amazing mod seemingly forgotten by everyone is Intangible. It was made by Emoniph, the same one who created Witchery, and existed only for the 1.8 versions. It revolved around extracting different types of souls from mobs and using them to power various mechanisms, such as a claw/gauntlet that could cast spells, a way to leave your body and possess other mobs or players, customisable golems you could also possess, and an insane lategame where you could build *gods* into existence, worship them for supernatural favour, and summon their avatars as bosses. A shame the creator disappeared without a successor.
- There was the Lion King mod, which had very fun questlines and excellent aesthetic, though by the time I played it I couldn't remember a single thing from the Lion King movies. It also had these inherently hilarious little creatures called "dikdiks."
- For a short time, there was a very popular mod which let you apply various 3D accessories to your character model, visible only to others who were running the mod. This was way before I even had non-pirated Minecraft, and when I tried finding it again a month later, it seemed as if it never existed, but I believe various RUclipsrs made videos on it - might try looking it up once more, though it seems to have been largely succeeded by mods such as Essentials and Armourer's Workshop.
- Lastly, there was Ars Magica 2, last updated for 1.10 for which I will forever weep. It had a one-of-a-kind spell creation mechanic I haven't seen any other _game_ -(Well, except for maybe Noita)- manage to replicate, allowing you to customise spell effect, shape, appearance, and so on. Of course, for that very reason, people tended to keep it out of modpacks for fear of it being OP. Thankfully, it seems to have two different successors in Ars Nouveau and Mana & Artifice... and another one called Wizardry, which similarly never moved past 1.12.2.
I loved Millenaire so damn much. When I was a kid I spent hours in creative mode giving the villages with so much resources and watch the villages upgrade and expand themselves. Iirc you can also make them wage war with each other.
I remember messing around with Electroblob's Wizardry, I *loved* that mod. It adds magic in a way that feels pretty vanilla friendly (Not quite as much as something like Spells & Shields, but much more vanilla-friendly than stuff like the plethora of tech-y magic mods), so I'm happy to hear an unofficial port in the works! :D
That could have been an epic segway to one of those food delivery sponsors 5:18
tale of kingdoms, clay soldiers, and millenaire are my all time favorite minecraft mods just for how much they added with what little they had
Chocolate Quest is another one, there’s also a team working on Chocolate Quest Repoured to bring it to newer versions.
You could maybe do a video about old mods and newer counterparts like Cobblemon/Pixelmom, Chocolate Quest/CQR, and Orespawn/Chaos Awakens (a project, a bit unlike CQR, as it’s entirely reworking and enhancing Orespawn content, still very early in development though)
Minecraft Comes Alive- stopped in 1.12.2, but it was incredibly funny and thorough, especially with the villager editor (that used to crash my game sometimes).
mca reborn is the remake of the mod for modern versions and its quite popular
This video title could not be more accurate. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about clay soldiers. That mod was so much fun
There was "little blocks" it made nimi block sort of like chisel and bits
Fun fact about Cory Scheviak: not only is he the creator of Tropicraft and an organizer for Love Tropics, Cory also became a Minecraft dev back in 2018(Just like how Kingbdogs created the Aether mod then later became a Minecraft dev)
tropicraft was my go to mod back then whenever i was a wee redstoner, the items from the mod are just so pretty. same goes for clay soldiers, i REALLY hope someone makes a new version of it, it'd be so fun to have the little clay friends back.
That thumbnail unlocked some core memories, I loved watching the clay soldier mod back when I was little cause I didn't have minecraft on PC and didn't even know how to mod it
bro said the mod author for mc Heli was Japanese then immediately proceeds to kamikaze a plane into the ground
Witchery was actually made popular by SSundee, but hey, cant blame you for making that mistake. he had an extensive long=running series in which Witchery was most prominent due to it allowing him and crainer to constantly prank each other with various curses and voodoo.
Tale of Kingdoms was so ahead of its time, man. One of my favourite mods in history.
Clay soldiers mod actually inspired me to buy Minecraft. When I did get Minecraft java edition, the mod didn't hold up to all the recent and modern mods so I didn't even play the mod. I'll never forget the clay soldiers mod because I wouldn't have found out about Minecraft earlier if not for the clay soldiers mod.
Also does anyone remember the alien vs predator mod or custom npcs?
Thank you thank you ryan, I was searching tale of kingdoms mod for a long time.
Hours? I spent WEEKS building Clay Soldiers arenas back in the day. Such fun times
Wow.. These are forgotten mods huh.. I think I still have many of them in my Minecraft mods folder, it's funny how time flies and how I enjoyed those days so much, but hey, things happen.
NGL, I have a separate modpack specifically for Millenaire. I literally consider it one of my CORE mods because of how much fun it STILL is. I hope it gets updated once again.
I could never forget the Clay Soldiers mod, it's honestly one of my favorite mods.
tale of kingdoms struck me with the most nostalgia ever, holy before i had minecraft i binge watched playthroughs of it
I recently bought MC and the first mod I downloaded was Clay Soldiers. I’m so glad to see people haven’t forgot about it
As a witchery lover, i miss it, i keep playing my modpack just to keep it in my heart and alive.
Minecraft mods are something special
Millenaire has always been good for a fun time. I would install different mods to go with it, things like mo creatures and aether. There was another I remember installing called the magic wood mod, which would add additional trees into the world as well as their respective subblocks including chests. I was legitimately shocked when the villages used some of the blocks from the magic wood mod. It wasn't extensive, they just used what trees were in the area during generation, but it sticks out in my memory as a unintentional interaction between different mods.
To answer that one question, I feel you're too used to saying "Tears of the Kingdom" that you say "Tales of the kingdom" instead of "Tale of Kingdoms"
I know that feeling.
clay soldiers and millenaire are eternal classics to me but tales of kingdoms is making me tweak because i remember seeing the mod in tobuscus' old minecraft series when i was a little kid barely learning how to speak english through youtube videos and this is unearthing core memories
Ive been looking for clay soldiers for ages! thank you!
I'm honored two of my suggestions commented on the last video were used as the top 2 in this one! Just now got around to watching this. I so miss the days of Minecraft that I experienced as a child. Minecraft felt more like a world to get lost in, whereas now in modern Minecraft there's goals and progression that can tend to make the game feel more like a chore than an immersive experience. Thanks for the nostalgia!
Also checkout NetherCraft mod. Maybe the oldest nether expansion mod.
I remember Bibliocraft and I miss it, I remember checking the website just to see the progress on Bibliocraft, I hope the author behind it is doing something they enjoy, regardless of they’re modding or not.
I’ve never forgotten bout Clay Soldiers, it was the first mod I ever installed back when I was like 12! That and little blocks, I made a small to-scale Colosseum for them to fight in!
Funny enough, Witchery is actually in the recent "DawnCraft" modpack.
Im unsure if its a remastered version.
it’s called Bewitchment. DawnCraft’s a dope pack
The last three mods were my favorites as a child its making me want to play minecraft again and rewatch the Yogscast adventures.
Two mods that came to my mind while watching this video was the RC Control mod where you had different remote controlled vehicles that you could drive/fly around and the big Star Wars mod where you had lightsabers, force powers, speeder bikes, space ships and so on
So remember gulliver's mod and combining with tiny blocks mod and i remember the recipe was with a dirt block and combine this with the clay soliders mod
those clay soldiers are ingrained in my head from Dantdm, I don't remember most episodes but I vividly remember his clay army one
The thumbnail alone takes me back, back to a time where i made areanas for those guys to fight in.
I remember having really fond memories of playing with early versions of Thaumcraft back when it was just kind of a janky mess; retextured silverfish that turn into normal ones at the drop of a hat, items with metadata bordering on what Minecraft could handle back then, as well as mechanical jank like stopping cauldrons from spilling their sludge by just surrounding them with pipes.
Another mod that has long been forgotten, but laid the groundwork for so much was mDiyo's inficraft. I still laugh at how he had the idea of being able to make tools out of varying materials where each material had its own unique properties to the tool, but the easiest way for him to implement that at this early stage was to just make a unique item for every possible combination of materials. Now there are several mods that have continued it legacy, from mDiyo directly he made Tinker's Construct, but there's also Tetra Tools as well as Silent Gear now filling that niche as well.
the clay soldiers omgg, I felt like nobody else remembered that
tale of kingdom and millenaire were my favorites as a kid it's nice to see them get recognized
It was so good to see video showcases about Tropicraft, Clay Soldiers and Millenaire mods. I didn't know that Electrobob's Wizardry mod was released on Minecraft 1.7.10 Forge first time.
I remember two mods I tried out in Minecraft beta 1.7.3 version very long time ago. The first one is Equivalent Exchange, which adds not just material transmutations with Philosopher's Stone, also adds EMC generators, powerful tools and two new material tiers like Dark Matter and Red Matter. This mod is still alive in form of ProjectE mod, which available on 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 Minecraft versions.
The other tech mod is IndustrialCraft, which was introduced for Minecraft beta 1.7.3 version. That mod had machine blocks, eletric tools and multiple ways to gather energy.
Although that mod has a different successor for Minecraft 1.12.2 version (which had different crafting recpies and mechanics), there is also a mod with a name "IC2 Classic", which has the good old mechanics. Besides 1.12.2 version, that mod is usable for 1.19.2 version too.
i remember lion's king mod, it was also completely new dimension and sadly stopped being updated
I remember DanTDM & Skydoesminecraft covered the
clay soldiers mod at some point.
i used to want clay soldiers SO MUCH when i first learned about it from Dan TDM's video on it way back in 2014.
im sad to know that the mod is pretty much dead
even around then, the mod was merely anything more than remakes that had about half the functionality of the original mod which was sad, they even used to be able to build houses
Millenaire is what got me interested in history in the first place, I was always fascinated about how the Normans have Norse ancestry and the Byzantines are essentially just medieval Romans. I still hold to hope that it may someday update to 1.16.
Just realized Clay Soldiers Reborn was just updated for 1.20.1+ (Forge, Fabric and Neo), after a year-long hiatus. It's now on V1.0, and the little guys could now ride Horses, wear Leather, wield Stick swords, and put on Glowstone. There's still hope!
If you guys don't mind Quilt, you could also try Terracotta Knights.
Damn. Those clay soldiers are some hard nostalgia.
I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT FORGET CLAY SOLDIERS I HAVE SO MUCH MEMORIES W THAT
Oh these mods. Back then was so pure😭. Miss those
witchery is being continued as bewitchment, I almost made it a part of my personal 1.12.2 pack, I also have tropicraft and birfrost (a fan continuation of orespawn) as pretty integral components.
Clay Soldairs should be picked up by a Golem Mod Developer
you know build actual big castles with different colored golems that can fight for you and against each other
that would be cool
I remember Flan's mod being one of the most played mods at the time. Sadly, it didn't get updated enough and it died. Sometimes i feel like i am the only one still playing the mod
4:50 have the bewitchment mod, is the continuous of witchery
I remember Millenaire! I used to play with that mod back in beta 1.6
Oh the nostalgia :O
Aww man I remember wanting to play with the Clay Soldiers so bad but not understanding how to mod as a kid
Bro, this is nostalgia 13:33 ❤
Man,I remember when redstone lamps first released while I was a kid.It was such a great leap forward,alongside all the technology-based mods that it spawned as a result.
Anyone remember Bluezephos being utterly incredulous at Sips & Sjin creating a fccking black hole bomb?
00:23 is that the crazycraft animation parody monsters mod thingy
I am going to watch your other videos, But my personal memorable mods from Beta were Train Craft, Plastic Craft, and the airship mod. Plastic craft was such a weird little early tech mod before technic or build craft really got popular.
Omg tale of kingdoms was amazing I remember when it first came out and I was just starstruck wondering around the castle.
Clonecraft, or the My Peoples mod which has been last updated since 1.7.10, while not being the most popular mod-
It is rather unique as you can use syringes through a process to clone mobs in the game as a sort of offset to creative mode's spawn eggs.
You can also clone yourself in which you can set the clone to target certain mobs, harvest or do all sorts of tasks for you.
Too bad it seems like no one has ever made a more modern remake since then because it is one of my favorite concepts for a mod I watched DanTDM play with back then.
Also, I been looking for Tale of Kingdoms for so long man, you do not know how much I longed for to play that mod since Paul played it and I got Minecraft years later before getting MC in 1.6.4 and even years later after that. It is certainly a big mod for its time to have been discontinued like that.
You should mention fossils & archeology someday, It even returned with much more scientifically accurate dinos and a bossfight!
Ah, I remember playing a modpack that included Witchery with my older brother. Thanks for reminding me of it dude
There was a mod/modpack back in beta (iirc) which made the game incredibly more difficult. I can never remember its name but I remember that you had to create braces any time you went mining or else roof would cave in. I also remember there being multiple stone variants back way before they were a thing, and it being difficult to get to stone tools. Basically like an OG RLCraft.
If you could find this mod, I'd be incredibly grateful
Chimneyswift’s Tropicraft series was peak.. good times 🥲
Clay Soldiers gets me so excited! My favorite minecraft mod as a child
