i really love adding automation mods to minecraft. the base game already has pretty nice resource gathering, and i think that adding machines and industry really capitalizes on it in a way that's super enjoyable to me. i could care less about the combat, the only time i like dealing with enemies is when i need their drops. i just dig out a hole and live in it as much as possible. it's super satisfying just making huge networks of machinery, storage, power, etc. and working to grow and upgrade it over time, and that's an experience that i haven't seen any other game like minecraft capture (aside from maybe factorio)
i have a hard time going to games like terraria now after getting used to that kind of thing though
