Mod categories are meaningless and serve almost no use
I’ve had a similar experience for years on curseforge but for this example its modrinth.
I select the game version and modloader i use, then i select "technology" because i want to browse some industrial or automation mods.
Sorted by "relevance"
First result is Veinminer.
Second result is Nature’s compass
Third is a patch for a shader pack
FOURTH is create.
I switch to "magic", show me the biggest magic mod available! Has someone finally made a magic mod to rival thaumcraft?
The first mod is enchantment descriptions.
I guess. Its magic *related*, even though the mod itself is just a client side UI change which im pretty sure a resource pack could do the job of.
I check out "equipment" and there’s veinminer again.
We can find veinminer at the #1 spot a third time under "utility" but to me that is where i should have found it in the first place.
I dont mean to talk down any of the mods i’ve mentioned, they’re all popular because they’re great mods. But i am really tired of how BORING it is to browse for mods. Every category has a 80% overlap with atleast one other.
All the coolest mods are overshadowed by simple utilities which are tangentially related to the category. The few great magic mods are buried under the same 100 mods you’ve seen again and again for years, just because there’s atleast 1 feature that kind of relates to the category. When i look up "adventure" i am not looking for 3D skin layers (i cant even imagine why that one is in adventure). There are so many interesting mods hidden under 80 pages of the same super popular mods you already know about.

Every mob in this mod feels like a genuine threat. Especially the Tunnel Gore. It's by far the best mob in the mod.

I made a mod that lets you pick your villager trades directly, no workstation cycling
