What plug-ins have you installed? Do any of them make you feel like you’re having an experience that you couldn’t replicate in minecraft?

I wish I had more to talk about, but this month I’ve just played so much MineTest.
I have this feeling that I’ve almost got my server plugins where I want them, but it also feels like there may always be one more plugin to discover.

What plug-ins have you installed?
I have about 30 plugins installed.
I started by adding everything by TenPlus1, on the assumption that anyone working that hard, to make that many mods, was probably making good mods. (This turned out to be a good assumption.)
Do any of them make you feel like you’re having an experience that you couldn’t replicate in minecraft?
Oh yes.
Mods like ‘More Trees’ and ‘Famring Redo’ provide a much deeper farming experience.
‘Pipeworks’ adds the inventory sorting engine that I always wanted in Minecraft, but with much simpler recipes.
‘Realistic HanghGlider’ replicates Elitra and Rockets, but it’s just craftable - no extra-dimensional scarcity. Which happens to fit my play style.
And most notably, the default 3x3 in-inventory crafting is such a nice quality of life feature. I’m not constantly running back to, or making another, crafting box.

I didn’t know this was so customizable, I’ll have to check it out.

When you say you are playing Minetest are you playing MineClone or did you start from scratch with the mods you chose.

I tried MineClone first, and it was fun. After researching mods, I went deep down the rabbit trail, and switched to MineGame/default, since it seems like there’s more mod combinations.
Now I have a setup that’s roughly MineClone, but with some quality of life changes.
Most notably, once I tried the ‘always have a crafting table’ default in MineGame, I missed it anytime I tried to go back to MineClone (which requires a crafting table to unlock 3x3 crafting, just like Minecraft).

I would love to see your mod list! If you have done a bit of work to find and test a collection of mods that you like, people might be interested to try it as an alternative starting point.

Cool. I’m be happy to share it.
I posted a high level summary from memory elsewhere in this thread.
But, I plan to write it up and share it in detail, soon, after I stop tweaking it.
