Clayblock was an interesting premise only plagued by a very few repetitive manual tasks that took a very long time to get fully automated. The Early to midgame is heavily intriguing and replaced the standard minecraft progression with a very interesting path that put the onus on the player to solve via exploration. All of the vanilla mobs were replaced with modded ones which felt nice to spice up the combat as all the mobs interacted in very different ways from vanilla. I would say that the Mid-late game is fully reliant on Modern Industrialization so if you arent a fan of fully automating factories the end game may be a bit boring but the journey to get there is very well paced and the environments are fun to explore as the vanilla generation has been changed.

Careful with fast pipes though, as they did corrupt my save and I had to restore from a backup.

This was a refreshing modpack to play. The premise and early game are great, I appreciate that everything ties back to clay. The lack of mobs in exchange for geese are fun and work well for such an alien world. The exploration is sparse, since the focus is on mining clay, but rewarding as it unlocks important resources to progress. The different compression textures are great and allow you to have some variety in your clay based builds. The mid game, starting to focus on the nether and dyes is unique and feels like a puzzle game. I’m excited to reach the end 🙂
