Even though its main focus is gregtech it still has some other mods(like thaumcraft, botania, witchery, ic2 etc) that work really good with it because of insane amount of custom crafts and interactions

And it runs really good for a pack with 230 mods but it lacks some modern features so it might be not for everyone(has really good music though)

No other modpack does automation like GTNH, the way that it combines the progression of gregtech and other mods makes for a kind of progression that I’ve never seen before. The difficulty, while extreme, creates interesting automation challenges rather than being tedious.

great but grindy, you should play this only if you want to waste your entire life away 10/10

GTNH is without a doubt the best pack I’ve ever played. Some things in the early game are grindy but the sense of accomplishment you get when completing big goals is unlike any other modpack. I have put more time into this pack than any other and its not close

I have played GTNH for a few months now, and am in very late MV. This pack can be grindy, but is very rewardable in terms of satisfaction. The progression is very good, and the quest book is helpful if needed. I find that JEI surfing is hypnotizing, but that may be just be me. One unfortunate part is that the magic mods are not required until late endgame, such as getting the infinity armor. The late endgame is still being worked on, so we shall see how it turns out. Kharax82 is an amazing GTNH youtuber working towards the stargate currently in UXV+. Watching him or listening to him while you play is useful, as his early powergen strategy is exactly what I am doing.

I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that this modpack has had the most work put into it out of any modpack and it shows. The questbook is extensive and very helpful and there are a ton of custom recipes carefully chosen which provide a cohesive experience unrivalled by other modpacks. The amount of content is insane which means you will be able to play this modpack for literal years without running out of content, even if you primarily focus on progressing. This means if you are the kind of person who feels you have to complete a modpack, this is probably not for you. If you on the other hand learn to focus on the journey rather than the destination, find yourself with entertainment for years from this modpack.

Despite being for 1.7.10 it still recieves plenty of updates which expands new content and significantly improves performance. The amount of work put into it is insane. For example have GTNH been able to work with new java versions which has significantly smoothed out lag spikes I had before. There is even talk of backporting sodium to GTNH which if done could improve performance significantly and be only another testament as to dedication of the developers.

The only negative I have is that I personally find the aesthetics to be a bit limiting. While shaders work well on GTNH and you can make beautiful builds in it, I do find the block pallette to be a bit limiting in comparison to modern minecraft. With the addition of in GTNH 2.4 hempcrete and svavelstone, there are plenty of excellent building blocks to build in modern and futuristic styles, but if you like me would like to build in a more fantasy, medieval or industrial style, there aren’t that many good blocks to choose from. To give a sense of what you can make I have included a couple of screenshots from my world.
