One of my friends has finally bought a computer good enough to run minecraft, so my group wanted to celebrate by playing together, but title.

I do not like most tech mods, because hot take: More complicated crafting recipes =/= fun. In fact I think it’s the opposite. Gregtech is like the final boss of sucking the fun out of minecraft, but everyone in my friend group loves it. It’s to the point where they want to remove mods from our modpack (that I enjoy) that aren’t compatible with the gregtech system just so it they can have everything be automated. And don’t even get me started on the random hideous untextured black pillars of oil every 20 blocks.

I am the only one in my friendgroup that does not like gregtech. I don’t want to ruin the others fun and ask them to disable it, but as it stands I just cannot play minecraft when half of my vanilla recipes are locked behind the super science smelter 9,000 mk12 that uses 100 different ores to make a single piece of leather. As it stands, I just am not able to enjoy minecraft with this mod on, but they can’t enjoy minecraft with it off. If anyone can help me out here or give me suggestions on how I should handle this, please feel free to speak your mind.

Edit: We settled on a compromise for me to add more adventure/building mods while still keeping their technology and automation. Thank you everyone who’s suggested ATM, I’ve used that as a guideline for adding a bit more bulk to my side of the gameplay that doesn’t clash with theirs.
