#i learned to put keep inventory on for these mods because if i didnt I'd die over and over with no way to get my shit back

Idk why I keep trying to play modded minecraft when over and over again I constantly struggle to even enjoy any modpacks I try. Like, as much as people love to say that mods can make a better minecraft update than minecraft, I find myself enjoying vanilla minecraft more than mods because EVEN on EASY most these mods are unbelievably unbalanced, difficult, and confusing. They don't tell you how to do anything in 99% of them if they do then good luck having your inventory full of books with useless information that don't teach you any of the basics. The "better biome" mods usually create biomes that I struggle to settle down in because majority of them are either normal hilly or just...it's just a lot of flat land you guys. There's usually no crazy interesting generation that makes me think "Oh! I want to live here!" fsr a lot of them feel like Plains biomes or forest biomes with different trees and flowers. Most these mods have no wikis and when they do have wikis it's stupid fandom wikis with barely any useful information so good luck finding out how to use an item or craft something if the JEI mod decides to break and not show you the crafting recipe! Not to mention most modpacks add over 200 mods per pack which is a nightmare to navigate!

I want to enjoy modded minecraft so badly because some mods seem really fun but I can't create my own modpack because why the fuck are majority of mods poorly optimized to the point you need optimization mods to avoid your memory and CPU killing itself. I cant turn off certain mods in modpacks without SOMETHING breaking because the modpack decided it was going to hardwire the use of every mod into itself. I can't play with just one mod because most mods now-a-days see made to be used in modpacks so they don't change a enough of minecraft to be fun on their own. I can't enjoy mods as a casual player because it feels like they are all made for hardcore players and it drives me insane because I WANT TO HAVE FUN!!! I WANT TO PLAY FUN MODS LIKE I USED TO!!! But majority of mods are not made for me and I have no idea how to fucking find the ones that are because the two most popular mod apps (Modrinth and CurseForge) are a struggle to look for modpacks on. I'm tired of being told that modded minecraft is so much better than vanilla and then not even being able to play half the modpacks because something broke and the game keeps crashing or lagging or it decides to crash my computer for some god forsaken reason (and yes i have a gaming computer so it quite literally cannot be me)
