most of them got stuck at 1.7.10
As did I :) The few times I boot up MC it’s the same old modpacks on the same old versions.

The best approach is always to add the mods you want manually to tailor the experience.
I personally had most fun with Terrafirmacraft, Thaumcraft, Electrical Age, and GregTech. But those were the days gone, and most of them got stuck at 1.7.10

I too find myself returning back there :)
So many great mods died after this version that it was impossible to recreate the experience.
It goes so bad that when I recently loaded a newer version, I was like “what the hell is going on here” :D

1.7.10 (or 1.6.4, or 1.5.2 for that matter)
1.3 was another nasty one. That was the one where multiplayer and singleplayer were merged and LAN play was introduced. Before that mods were released specifically for either single or multiplayer and authors would have to specifically build 2 versions of every mod if they wanted to enable use in multiplayer. This shift killed a ton of mods and version 1.2.5 was a peak for mods like Red Power for example
If you use an alternate launcher like Prism Launcher it is trivial to install tons of modpacks for any version of Minecraft and manage many different mod loadouts (with handy search and auto-download of both modpacks and individual mods, plus it makes it super easy to modify a modpack you downloaded and add/remove mods) Its really the best way to play modded Minecraft (and has been since the fork from MultiMC) plus unlike most launchers which are super-simplified to not scare newbies, Prism Launcher also exposes tons of handy technical stuff if you want to dive deeper, such as optionally displaying full logs, java version and argument management, world edit and other tool integrations and more.

No need to advertise Prism - using it already :)
Also, UltimMC is a decent offline fork for pirates and privacy enthusiasts (Disclaimer: I do not promote piracy and own a legal Minecraft license)
I’m so lost and then I try to play like a Beta 1.7.3 player and everyone else just goes “the fuck are you doing?”
Happily, I joined Minecraft when it was already 1.7.2 (release versioning, not Beta), so my ways are not THAT outdated, and obviously I never had issues with 1.7.10 because it’s literally my first version with two minor updates. Who would have known that it will all stop there…

Terrafirmacraft and Gregtech do actually have modern 1.20.1 versions! I am currently actually playing a modpack with some friends called Terrafirmagreg, which as the name implies is tfc and Gregtech integrated, along with a bunch of other QOL and add-ons. It is a very fun, and very very long pack.

Nice! Heard of new versions of TerraFirmaCraft, but I believe it is community maintained, as the main author seems to focus on Vintage Story. But since you mention it works fine, I might as well give it a spin! Didn’t know Gregtech updated to newer versions.
